EXPANDING ROBOTICS FOR AGILE MANUFACTURING

KINETIQ
TEACHING
ENABLES JOB SHOPS TO EASILY IMPLEMENT ROBOTIC WELDING
KEY FEATURES
Quick set-up to facilitate
high-mix, low-volume
batch runs
Simplified programming
requires less training time,
lower skilled labor
Higher level robot
programming still possible

INTUITIVE DIRECT TEACHING

Fast, manual positioning results in

fewer crashes and reduced
programming time.

Robot arm moves in speed proportional

to force applied by hand.

Torch angle is easily changed by twisting

in orientation desired.

Motion keys are active and robot can be

jogged manually.

KINETIQ TEACHING ENVIRONMENT

Graphic User Interface allows

programming with minimal training.

Simplified, programming screen is

launched from pendant menu.

Motion and weld instructions are

SAFE OPERATION
TEACH mode programing
restricted to slow speed
Teach pendant enabling
switch is active, providing
control reliable stopping
Kinetiq Teaching mode must
be activated from pendant
before robot will move

presented as smart phone app-style

icons on color touch screen.

Program verification can be performed

with or without welding.

Program task is structured as sequence

of icons and can easily be edited.

FULL POWER OF INFORM

Kinetiq Teaching presents limited

number of welding schedules.

Supervisor can edit weld parameters,
speeds and label the comment to be
displayed in Arc Start files.

Kinetiq Teaching offers Export to

INFORM utility which saves points

programmed. More detailed I/O
instructions, sensor instructions or
comments can be inserted in the
INFORM job.

Exported jobs can be saved and

imported for later use.

CONFIGURATIONS

Sleek, low-profile force sensor mounts

between the flange and torch on the
MA1400 thru-arm robot.

Ideally suited for use in an ArcWorld

workcell with single MA1400 robot.

Popular power source brands are

available, along with Binzel or
Tregaskiss air-cooled torches.

Kinetiq Teaching sensor can be

retrofitted to existing MA1400 robot

by authorized service personnel.
