ESAB has introduced its first collaborative robot for MIG and pulsed MIG welding applications on steel, stainless steel, and aluminum alloys. Operators teach the cobot welding paths using a software app running on a smartphone or tablet, along with a Smart Puck to hand-guide the torch and record its position with the push of a button.

The cobot is designed to automate high-mix, low-volume applications for small and medium-sized fabricators. It features a Universal Robots UR10e industrial robot arm, along with ESAB’s Aristo 500ix pulse power source, RobustFeed U82 wire feeder, an air- or water-cooled torch, and accessories.

A Siegmund 32- by 48-in. welding table organizes components and enables moving the cobot around a shop.
