The LeanID dress pack on the IRB 6700 robot from ABB integrates its most exposed parts into the robot for easier programming, a more compact footprint and expanded cable life due to less wear and tear. The fully integrated Spot Welding Function Package features an electric servo gun with parallel arm movements managed by the IRC5 robot controller for enhanced speed, payload and accuracy, with 15 percent lower power consumption, double the time between service intervals, and up to 20 percent lower total cost of ownership.

Robot Dressed for Spot Welding
The fully integrated Spot Welding Function Package on the IRB 6700 robot from ABB Robotics features an electric servo gun with parallel arm movements managed by an IRC5 robot controller to guarantee process quality in a wide range of spot weld applications.

Desktop Resistance Weld Checker
Ideal for monitoring and managing key welding variables in process development and production environments, the compact MM-400A desktop resistance weld checker from Amada Miyachi America supports AC, DC inverter, AC inverter, transistor and capacitive discharge resistance welding technologies.

Pinch-Point Safety System for Resistance Welding
The Unitrol SOFT TOUCH Pinch-Point Safety System from Rockford Systems is the first and only fully passive safeguarding system that prevents a spot welder from applying full force if it detects fingers in the machine’s point-of-operation area.
