Akon Robotics has unveiled the ASK-100-CB, a cobot-assisted welding cell designed to tackle the challenges faced by small and medium-sized manufacturers, such as fluctuating batch sizes and a shortage of skilled welders. Launched recently, this innovative solution combines a JAKA collaborative robot with a Kemppi welding system, providing a compact and mobile unit that simplifies the automation of welding processes.
The ASK-100-CB is engineered for flexible, high-mix welding applications, allowing manufacturers to adapt quickly to changing components without extensive reprogramming. Operators can easily program the system through a user-friendly drag-and-drop interface and access controls via PC, tablet, or smartphone, enhancing usability on the shop floor.
Key features include a 180° rotary table for simultaneous loading and unloading, which maximizes efficiency and minimizes idle time, crucial for achieving rapid returns on investment in low-volume production. Safety is prioritized with a protective enclosure and compliance with CE risk assessments, while connections for fume extraction promote a clean working environment.
Customers who have implemented the ASK-100-CB report significant improvements, including reduced scrap rates, enhanced productivity, and better ergonomic conditions for operators. The fully integrated solution ensures that all components work seamlessly together, allowing manufacturers to focus on production outcomes rather than system integration challenges. This development illustrates how collaborative robotics can make welding automation both practical and economically viable for modern manufacturing.
