Panasonic Factory Solutions Co. of America (www.panasonic.com) introduced an arc-welding, robotic work cell that improves productivity, flexibility and employee safety. Perform Arc 212S is designed with an open sidewall for changing fixturing or loading or unloading of parts by crane or forklift. In addition, the work cell has a large tooling span and rotation diameter that provide a flexible system for handling varying production requirements, such as large parts one day and a group of smaller parts the next day. L-shaped light curtains are located outside the servo positioner sweep diameter.
