Functional aspects
Special welding machine is designed for a workpiece automatic welding equipment. It has the advantages of strong specificity and high welding efficiency, and some can be equipped with more than one welding gun.
The 6-axis welding manipulator has strong versatility, comprehensive coverage of welding gun Angle and fast moving speed of welding gun. Usually only one welding torch is used. Compared with a dedicated machine equipped with multiple welding guns, the welding speed may be slower.
maintenance
The maintenance of the welding machine is relatively simple, and the motor and system used by users can be replaced by themselves.
The maintenance of the 6-axis welding manipulator is more troublesome, and the price is relatively high. It may need professional factory personnel to repair it.
Welding efficiency
6 axis joint manipulator, single gun welding efficiency is fast, can be within the scope of the welding gun can be placed in three independent tooling positions, welding can be clamped.
If a dedicated welding machine is clamped with multiple welding guns, the welding efficiency may be incomparable to the 6-axis manipulator. Another factor to watch out for is manual clamping speed. If the welding is completed but the manual clamping is not completed and the welding gun is in a waiting state, the welding efficiency is the manual clamping speed.
The price
In general, the price of the domestic six-axis manipulator is generally about 100,000, excluding tooling. Other imported manipulators cost more, some hundreds of thousands.The price of special welding machine depends on the structure and function of various special welding machine. The low price could be in the tens of thousands. If a very cheap special machine can achieve the welding effect and efficiency, and long-term use of six-axis joint manipulator, then it may be a waste.
Whether the use of a special welding machine or six axis joint welding manipulator, welding parts are required to meet the welding requirements. For welding volume is very small, the weld is not standard, or manual welding is recommended.
