The 6-axis GA50 robot offers high path accuracy and is well-suited for laser cutting small holes and sharp corners, as well as laser welding, plasma cutting, and dispensing applications, says Yaskawa Motoman.
Formcut software automatically generates the ideal path to cut shapes based on user-specified geometry. Circle, rectangle, ellipse, pentagon, and 2D hexagon shapes are supported with easy definition of shape size and rotation from a single programmed point. The cut motion start and overlap, robot speed, timing options, and corner radii are all defined in the cut file. Depending on the application, path accuracy can be within 0.1 mm with a 30-kg payload.
The robot offers a 3,161-mm vertical reach, 2,038-mm horizontal reach, and ±0.015-mm repeatability.
