Güdel releases ArcTrack preconfigured TMF for robotic welding

Nov. 16, 2017 – Güdel has introduced ArcTrack, a preconfigured robot track motion module for arc welding applications that promises to deliver the highest flexibility and reduce lead time by 40 per cent.

Güdel has pre-engineered a TrackMotion Floor (TMF-2) configuration with an auxiliary shelf to carry welding equipment, large wire spools and torch cleaning and reaming devices with the robot. The shelf is pre-engineered to support more than 750 kg, notes the company. The ArcTrack is available for multiple arc welding robots, including Fanuc, ABB, Motoman and KUKA, and includes robot-specific gear boxes, motors and cables. Güdel TrackMotion units, including the ArcTrack, are available in lengths from 3 to 100 meters, and can be equipped with robot risers from 50 to 600 mm. All Güdel TrackMotion units are designed and engineered for harsh environments, including welding, painting, die cast, foundry, sealing, machining and grinding.
