Lincoln Electric Automation, a division of the Lincoln Electric Company and a provider of complete welding automation and fume extraction systems, has reportedly launched System 15 manual turntable cell, the latest addition to a family of space-conscious robotic cells that includes the eCell LR, System 5 and System 10.

 

The new System 15 is a new option for robotic welding in a limited space, which provides a flexible layout for consistent and predictable automation in both small part lots and high-volume production. The system is more flexible and economical, is best suited for parts that do not require positioning or reorientation, and can be used on a variety of materials, including steel, stainless steel and aluminum, the company said.

 

The new robotic cell is shipped completely assembled and is ready for immediate use, officials said.

 

"Lincoln Electric Automation’s offerings of pre-engineered systems are focused on small- to medium-sized parts and cost-effective solutions,” said Deanna Postlethwaite, product manager with Lincoln’s automation division, in a statement.

 

Some of the key features of this newly launched System 15 include the latest welding technology in the Power Wave i400 welding power source and AutoDrive 4R90 wire drive for premium MIG (short arc and spray), synergic MIG, Pulsed MIG and flux-cored arc welding.

 

The unit’s FANUC ARC Mate 50iC/5L robotic arm is said to offer an exceptional reach-stroke ratio and high speeds for peak productivity in both simple and complex applications. Additionally, the System R-30iA controller and user-friendly ArcTool software provides reliable performance at an affordable price.

 

Headquartered in Cleveland, Ohio, Lincoln Electric Company specializes in the design, development and manufacture of arc welding products, robotic arc welding systems, fume extraction equipment and plasma and oxyfuel cutting equipment. The company holds a leading global position in the brazing and soldering alloys market.
