Specialist pipe fittings manufacturer,
Valen Fittings, is innovatively using
two FANUC Robotics robots to
increase capacity and remove the
physical strain of manual plasma
cutting and welding. Compensating
for manufacturing variances, the
systems incorporate adaptive path
control for plasma cutting and
human intervention for real time path
control of welding operations.
Working with welding automation specialist Pentangle Engineering, Valen implemented a Fanuc Robotics M-16 iB, inverted on a jib, to plasma cut edges and then to cut a weld preparation angle along the same edge. A second robot is used to weld prepared sections, utilising a 6 axes FANUC Robotics ARC Mate 120-iC positioned with a single axis manipulator.
