ATS-ROTOR

The intelligent system for automated change of torch necks.


Arguments speaking for themselves:

• Integrated SPS (industrial standards) for linking to the robot control
• Absolutely easy installation and start-up
• Increase in plant availability
• Replacement of different neck geometries for complex welding jobs
• Torch neck change in seconds
• Light, complex aluminium cast frame with low maintenance pneumatic cylinders

Functional principle:

Integrated in the robot cell the ATS Rotor can be fitted with up to five changeable torch necks. Since the separating point is standardized within the company, it is possible to use MIG/MAG and TIG replacement necks. Depending on the welding job the robot approaches the change system either in a cycle or result-oriented (e.g. with fixed torches) in order to replace one torch neck by a different or reworked one.
It is only when all five changeable necks have been used that manual intervention in the welding cell becomes necessarry to fit out the ATS Rotor again. The change of spare parts and wearing parts on the torch neck is carried out outside the robotic cell while the production process continues.
This means up to five times more plant availability (with regard to maintenance work on the torch neck) for the user.
