Compact Precision for High-Density Arc Welding
The Yaskawa Motoman AR1440 is a 6-axis industrial robot designed to revolutionize arc welding productivity in space-constrained environments. With a 1440 mm reach and 12 kg payload capacity, this robot combines agility and power to handle intricate welding tasks efficiently. Its slim profile and contoured arm enable seamless navigation in confined spaces, making it ideal for high-density production cells where multiple robots operate in close proximity .
Key Features:
- Space-Saving Design: The streamlined arm and compact body reduce interference with fixtures, allowing robots to be placed just 400 mm apart without compromising performance. This design optimizes floor space in automotive assembly lines, fabrication shops, and agricultural equipment manufacturing facilities.
- Symmetric Wrist Technology: A 360° rotating wrist with ±180° elbow movement ensures equal torch access to both sides of a workpiece, eliminating repositioning delays. This feature is particularly valuable for welding complex geometries, such as engine mounts and suspension components.
- Advanced Cable Management: The 50 mm thru-hole in the wrist and internal cable routing minimize wear and tangling, extending cable lifespan by up to 30%. The enhanced feeder mounting area on the arm further reduces obstruction, ensuring uninterrupted workflow .
Applications:
- Automotive Components: Welds transmission cases, exhaust systems, and chassis subassemblies with precision, supporting lean manufacturing layouts.
- Agricultural Machinery: Repairs and manufactures irrigation systems, tractor frames, and harvesting equipment in confined workshop spaces.
- Electronics & Appliances: Handles delicate welding of small parts like refrigeration components and consumer electronics brackets.
