Customisation to Suit your Needs

Hollow Shaft
On QIROX® welding robots with hollow shaft wrist, the wire drive unit is integrated in the robot arm. Allowing for complex movements without risk of the cable assemblies becoming entangled or under tension.

Seventh Axis
The excentric axis mounted in the robot base enables horizontal movement of the robot up to 550 mm. The welding of complex workpieces is simplified and accelerated thanks to the considerably increased reach.

Range of QINEO® Welders
No matter what the requirements of your products are, there is a large range of power sources allowing for a variety of different welding techniques. Thus, the robot can be configured to for the weld type that best suits your product and application.

Add-On / Additional Upgrades

A wide variety of add-ons are available to further improve your system. These add-ons are not necessary but definitely worth looking into! They are designed to fine-tune accuracy and provide a higher robotic welding experience through easier programming, automatic welding calculations and parameter adjustments. In return, you get the benefits of higher quality welding outputs, enhanced safety and increased of overall production speed.

CLOOS Tandem Welding

In the Tandem Weld process, two arcs burn in a common molten pool. The process is based on two electrically separated processes which match each other perfectly. This possibility opens up a multitude of combinations. The front wire ensures a safe penetration, the back wire quickly fills big joints with filler material.

• Low Heat Input

CLOOS Tandem Welding induces low heat input to the work piece, which results in reduced component distortion and avoid extensive reworks. This is also one of the reason why tandem welding is so popular!

• Maximum Weld Speed

You will reduce your welding time significantly due to high deposition rate resulting in high weld speed and volume filling. Which also compensates for material tolerance due to good gap bridging ability. 

• Universal Application

Unlike conventional tandem welding, which only works on thick plate steel, CLOOS Tandem Welding works with both thick and thin plates. This means that you can get the maximum weld speed and quality regardless of your products!

Robotic Welding Sensors

The robotic welding sensors are installed on the welding torch. This gives the sensors enough distance to work either on offline (before welding) or online (during welding) mode. These sensors are small and compact, but helps deliver superior performance!

• Arc Sensors

Uses the arc to measure the joint position of the work piece, enabling measurement and welding to be carried out simultaneously without affecting cycle times.

• Tactile Sensors

Uses the torch gas nozzle or the welding wire to determine start and/or end of the weld seam and corrects the programmed welding path.

• Laser Online/Offline Sensors

The laser sensors are non-contact optical measuring systems to position the robot and to determine the weld geometry during (online) or before (offline) welding and automatically adjusts welding parameters according to the work piece alignment/placement.
