Properly welded: Volvo body parts

Time savings: The new tip dressers significantly reduce cycle times where multiple welding robots are in use.

Cantilever axis ELCC-TB for vertical or horizontal operation.

For static welding gun systems: A fast and precise pivot arm brings the electrode milling device, the so-called tip dresser, to the electrodes after 150 spot welds have been completed.

Tip dresser for articulated-arm robots: On the right the two holes for electrode milling, and on the left the compact housing with the vision system which provides the data for repositioning the electrodes.

Faster and more reliable: Volvo is constantly improving its welding processes.

All-round service unit component: fitted with sensors gathers data from the energy efficiency module MSE6-E2M from Festo that can be evaluated to counteract deviations.
