FAQ

How can I configure the welding equipment package for the robotic welding station?

Each robotic welding station has specific needs depending on the materials, industry, etc. However, you can be sure that the robotic welding system AX MIG Welder is fully compatible with the majority of robot models currently in use.

AX MIG Welder consists of several power source options with 400 or 500 A and synergic and pulse MIG welding options, a powerful cooler, wire feeder units designed for robotic welding, a robotic connectivity module, which is the heart of the system, a browser-based user interface, optional welding programs, depending on the application and in addition, mounting brackets, interconnection cables, and other accessories.

With the Kemppi Configurator, you can build the setup most suitable for your application. However, you can be sure that AX MIG Welder ticks all the boxes on your list.

What is the difference between a robot and a cobot welding station?

Robots are designed for industrial applications in which robots are isolated from human contact. Robotic welding cells are equipped with dedicated robotic welding machines and accessories.

Robotic welders typically require higher costs (than cobots) for both staff training and equipment but offer maximum efficiency.

Cobot, also called a collaborative robot, works alongside the operator within a shared space thanks to built-in safety precautions such as rounded edges, lightweight construction, limitation of speed and force, or built-in sensors and software.

A cobot welding station is an easily programmable small station, often equipped with a manual welding machine. Usually, cobot cells are not fully automated. Compared to robots, cobots offer more flexibility while requiring a smaller overall investment.

Where can I get support for robotic welding?

Kemppi robotic service team ([email protected]) will help with all welding-related issues and with device configurations. All AX user manuals and integration manuals can be found in Kemppi Userdoc.

The local integrator helps, supports, and trains, if necessary, in cooperation with Kemppi.

Intuitive user interface (WebUI)

The intuitive and easy-to-use web browser-based user interface lets you adjust machines remotely, saving time on setup and letting you manage and monitor the system throughout the equipment lifecycle. The user interface can be used with any device with a web browser – mobile phone, tablet, laptop, or any other industrial PC.

Easy integration

Integrating the AX MIG Welder is easy and fast, thanks to a set of connectivity options that offer new ways to get the most out of your arc welding robotics. Fast and simple setup and integration, plus lifetime support from Kemppi, makes getting down to business quick and easy from day one and well into the future.

Up to 70% faster welding travel speed

MAX Speed increases welding travel speed by up to 70% compared to traditional pulse or spray arc processes. MAX Speed produces clean, top-quality weld seams, effectively reducing labor time and welding costs. MAX Speed is designed for steel and stainless steel welding applications in the PA and PB positions. MAX Speed is optimized for robotic welding applications.

More control on weld pool in position welding

MAX Position helps manage gravitational effects on a molten weld pool. MAX Position improves control and confidence when working in the position, and is excellent when filling and capping in steel, stainless steel, and aluminum applications in the PF position. MAX Cool is optimized for robotic welding applications.

Over 30% lower heat input

MAX Cool lowers heat input by up to 32%, improving control where excessive temperatures negatively impact weld pool stability and increase joint distortion. MAX Cool is the ideal solution for a variety of applications, including thin sheet fabrication, root welding, gap bridging, and joining thin extruded sections in solid Fe, Ss, CuAl8, and CuSi3 filler materials. MAX Cool is optimized for robotic welding applications.

Highly efficient root pass welding

WiseRoot+ is an optimized short circuiting process for root pass welding without backing. The process is highly effective being significantly faster than stick (MMA), TIG and standard MIG/MAG short arc welding, yet producing high quality welds. The welding of fixed pipes in any position is possible and groove angle can be reduced by even 40%, depending on the application. WiseRoot+ is optimized for robotic welding applications.

Increased welding speed and better quality

WiseThin+ is developed for faster and productive manual and automated thin sheet welding, for ferrous and non-ferrous materials. With the process you can weld in any position and also down hand, even with wide gap or varying gap tolerances. Weld pool control is excellent and the amount and size of spatters reduced. WiseThin+ provides even 25% lower heat input than normal MIG/MAG welding, reducing material distortion and post weld rework. WiseThin+ is optimized for robotic welding applications.

Quality, speed and ease-of-use

WiseFusion optimized welding function produces a very narrow and energy dense welding arc making welding faster and heat input lower. Focused penetration area allows the welding of narrow and deep grooves. WiseFusion results in excellent penetration without a risk of undercut. Narrower arc also facilitates weld pool control in position welding.

Invariable penetration in demanding conditions

WisePenetration+ optimized welding function is designed to keep welding current and thus penetration invariable. Normally in MIG/MAG welding the power to the weld pool is changing as the welder or weld piece dictates the distance between the joint and welding gun nozzle. These deviations may result in quality issues such as lack of fusion, incomplete or inconsistent penetration, changes in weld profile and of course welding spatter. WisePenetration+ solves these issues and reduces the need for post-grinding and repair work. WisePenetration+ in optimized for robotic welding applications.

Boost efficiency and reduce spatters in mild steels

Optimized arc characteristics for different transfer modes make MIG welding of carbon steels easy and efficient with WiseSteel. For example, thanks to the intelligent control system, challenges related to the globular transfer are now tackled. This is achieved by alternating short arc transfer with spray transfer, which reduces spatter by up to 30%, increases travel speed, and produces high-quality welds characterized by regular fish-scale pattern.

AX MIG Welder for steel welding

Non-alloy steels are still widely used in industrial production. The production of details made of mild steel can be even faster thanks to robotic stations. Moreover, it’s also possible due to the use of special, highly efficient welding processes implemented into welding equipment and the possibility of continuous development of these units by uploading new welding curves allowing for even greater efficiency while maintaining high quality. Typical industry segments: shipbuilding, offshore, general industry, machine manufacturing, and container manufacturing. Click 'Read more' to see an example of AX MIG Welder configuration (as a reference only) for steel welding.

AX MIG welder for stainless steel welding

The share of stainless steel in industrial production grows constantly. It is a more demanding material than mild steel, but thanks to keeping production regimes, which is much easier in robotic applications, welding of stainless steel is now extremely efficient. The use of advanced welding equipment in robotic stations enables quick and flexible adjustment of the station to constant changes in steel grade and higher quality requirements. Welding equipment with implemented monitoring of welding parameters is a key factor in the development of this industry. Typical industry segments: food industry, chemical industry, process industry, pharmaceutical industry, pipes, and pipelines. Click 'Read more' to see an example of AX MIG Welder configuration (as a reference only) for stainless steel welding.

AX MIG Welder for aluminum welding

Aluminum is more and more common material used in production. It acts as a lightweight alternative to steel as it provides a better strength-to-weight ratio and corrosion resistance. However, this material does not behave like steel in welding applications, especially because of its high thermal conductivity and low melting point. Efficient and quality of aluminum welding largely depend on the right equipment and the right welding curves. Typical industry segments: boat- and shipbuilding, (e-)transportation, trailers, automotive, wheel frames, and battery cell cooling. Click 'Read more' to see an example of AX MIG Welder configuration (as a reference only) for aluminum welding.

Weld Assist tool for faster parameter setting

AX MIG Welder includes a Weld Assist guidance tool for fast setup. Just select the joint type, welding position, and material thickness, and the robot is ready to weld. Weld Assist supports AI, Fe, and Ss materials and 1-MIG and pulse welding processes.

Track arc on time and welding parameters

WeldEye ArcVision is an integrated Industry 4.0 solution that tracks and records arc-on time and welding parameters for better insight into welding production. Activate your free three-month trial license of WeldEye ArcVision with no obligation. The trial license also includes WeldEye’s Welding Procedures module, allowing the user to test the digital WPS (dWPS) feature.

Through Arc Seam Tracking (TAST)

The power source sends arc and stick-out lengths to the robot as one value. The robot uses this value to keep the stick-out length stable and welding on the right path. Robot weaving is needed for seam positioning. This function is used when taught welding path is not accurate with respect to the actual seam. For example, when welding big workpieces in shipyards, the machinery industry, the power plant industry, etc.

Touch Sense Ignition (TSI)

Touch Sense Ignition (TSI) enables a reliable, non-short-circuit ignition, which minimizes the amount of weld spatter and reduces the need for post-weld cleaning.

Touch Sensing

With the Touch Sensing function, a robot can find the start and/or end point of the seam. The principle is that the power source directs the search voltage to the welding wire or gas nozzle (50-200V). When the wire or nozzle touches a grounded workpiece, the robot receives a message about the touch and saves the position.

Collision Detection

The Collision Detection function of the power source transmits the message from the collision detector via the connector of the wire feeder to the robot's fieldbus or I/O card if an optional I/O card is used. This function requires a collision sensor mounted on the robot's flange.

Gas Flow measurement

The gas flow meter monitors the gas flow during the welding and notifies the robot immediately if the gas flow falls below the limit value.
