EXPANDING ROBOTICS FOR AGILE MANUFACTURING
KINETIQ
TEACHING
ENABLES JOB SHOPS TO EASILY IMPLEMENT ROBOTIC WELDING
KEY FEATURES
Quick set-up to facilitate
high-mix, low-volume
batch runs
Simplified programming
requires less training time,
lower skilled labor
Higher level robot
programming still possible
INTUITIVE DIRECT TEACHING
•Fast, manual positioning results in
fewer “crashes” and reduced
programming time.
•Robot arm moves in speed proportional
to force applied by hand.
•Torch angle is easily changed by twisting
in orientation desired.
•Motion keys are active and robot can be
jogged manually.
KINETIQ TEACHING ENVIRONMENT
•Graphic User Interface allows
programming with minimal training.
•Simplified, programming screen is
launched from pendant menu.
•Motion and weld instructions are
SAFE OPERATION
TEACH mode programing
restricted to slow speed
Teach pendant enabling
switch is active, providing
control reliable stopping
Kinetiq Teaching™ mode must
be activated from pendant
before robot will move
presented as smart phone app-style
icons on color touch screen.
•Program verification can be performed
with or without welding.
•Program task is structured as sequence
of icons and can easily be edited.
FULL POWER OF INFORM
•Kinetiq Teaching presents limited
number of welding schedules.
Supervisor can edit weld parameters,
speeds and label the comment to be
displayed in Arc Start files.
•Kinetiq Teaching offers Export to
INFORM utility which saves points
programmed. More detailed I/O
instructions, sensor instructions or
comments can be inserted in the
INFORM job.
•Exported jobs can be saved and
imported for later use.
CONFIGURATIONS
•Sleek, low-profile force sensor mounts
between the flange and torch on the
MA1400 thru-arm robot.
•Ideally suited for use in an ArcWorld®
workcell with single MA1400 robot.
•Popular power source brands are
available, along with Binzel® or
Tregaskiss® air-cooled torches.
•Kinetiq Teaching sensor can be
retrofitted to existing MA1400 robot
by authorized service personnel.
