Frontpull 8i Lite water-cooled:

Optimum support for robot-internal collision detection

The Frontpull 8i Lite water-cooled torch system perfects the interaction of welding systems and robots with inner cable dress. It has the same functional features as the Frontpull 8i Lite water-cooled, but differs in the design of the collision detection. The rigid torch neck of the Frontpull 8i Lite water-cooled enables the robot to detect a collision at an early stage so that an emergency stop can be initiated.

Water Joint Module and assembly kit for Frontpull 8i Lite water-cooled

The Water Joint Module is an additional component for all water-cooled SKS welding torches designed for robots with internal torch cables. The Water Joint Module extends the torch system by adding the function of unlimited rotation beyond 360 degrees with water cooling. The assembly kit includes locking cover, connecting flange, clamping sleeve, sealing sleeve, and mounting accessories for the different robot types.

Advantages in the welding process:
- Close-to-process wire feed directly in the torch system ensures uniform and precise wire feed even with soft aluminum filler materials
- High-quality, lightweight and compact motor reaches high process control speeds and dynamics
- Compact design allows excellent accessibility and an ideal torch position at any time
- Very precise wire electrode feeding
- Enables and supports heat-reduced processes (microMIG and microMIG-cc), as well as the spatter-reduced arc ignition (LiftArc)
Advantages in interaction with the robot:
- Internal and torsion-free torch cable ensures full utilization of the robot’s “freedom of movement”
- Rigid design of the torch system supports internal robot collision detection
- Low weight relieves the robot and increases its dynamics
- Compact design allows good accessibility even in narrow fixtures
- Unlimited rotation avoids reorientation movements of the robot and simplify programming
- Saves programming & non-productive times and reduces costs
- TCP (Tool Center Point) accuracy after torch neck change: ± 0.2 mm
Advantages for investments (ROI):
- Lower investment due to reduction of components
- Uses standard SKS accessories such as drive rollers and torch necks
- Wear parts compatible with all SKS torch systems => less variety of parts to keep in stock
- Time savings and higher efficiency
- No torsional stresses on the torch cable increases the service life and availability of the torch system
- Highest flexibility due to modular torch series design, easy changeover/conversion from other systems to Frontpull
- Precise and reproducible welding results, high seam quality
- Over 10,000 torch systems sold and in continuous industrial use
