Simple to Install ArcWorld LC Workcells Optimize Productivity for Lighter Volume Fabrication
Yaskawa Motoman's new ArcWorld LC (Lite Cell) robotic welding system is ideal for fabricators with lighter volume requirements for small- to medium-part welding.
Featuring a space-saving design with single or dual workstation configurations, the ArcWorld LC (Lite Cell) robotic welding system is ideal for fabricators with lighter volume requirements for small- to medium-part welding. Providing efficiency and consistent weld quality, the AW-LC is fast and simple to install or relocate.
Ideal for wider parts, the ArcWorld LC single workstation configuration features a fixed tooling table with a 250 kg payload or a servo-driven MH185 headstock with a 185 kg payload. The dual workstation configuration is available with fixed tooling tables or two MH185 headstocks. Dual workstation models allow one part to be loaded or unloaded while the other part is being welded, and eliminate sweep time of the part positioner between part processing. Tooling can be changed quickly. Workcells can be tooled for different parts or can be used for sequential operations.
The workcell, featuring a 2,125 mm x 2,097 mm footprint fits in a 110" trailer, simplifying shipping and reducing setup time. The simple design is non-cumbersome with pre-terminated cables that are labeled and quick to connect. The power disconnect, welding equipment and robot controller come prewired on a separate 1 m x 1 m base that can be located anywhere near the workcell. Fencing is easy to assemble and matches up with the operator station access and workcell base, all of which can be lagged directly to the floor.
Each workcell features a single high-speed, six-axis AR1440 robot with YRC1000 controller. Its integrated weld package includes either a Miller® Auto-Continuumâ„¢ 350 or Lincoln Electric Power Wave® R450 power source. Processes from the power supply are accessed by Yaskawa's easy-to-use digital Universal Weldcom Interface (UWI), giving full control of welding parameters and settings from the robot programming pendant. The ArcWorld LC series workcells are safeguarded and have a completed risk assessment in accordance with the ANSI/RIA R15.06-2012 robot safety standard, including a Functional Safety Unit (FSU) to monitor the robot and positioner.
NOTE: Customization is not advised for the ArcWorld LC series workcells.

Featured Product
Model TR1 Tru-Trac
The Model TR1 Tru-Trac® linear measurement solution is a versatile option for tracking velocity, position, or distance over a wide variety of surfaces. An integrated encoder, measuring wheel, and spring-loaded torsion arm in one, compact unit, the Model TR1 is easy to install. The spring-loaded torsion arm offers adjustable torsion load, allowing the Model TR1 to be mounted in almost any orientation - even upside-down. The threaded shaft on the pivot axis is field reversible, providing mounting access from either side. With operating speeds up to 3000 feet per minute, a wide variety of configuration options - including multiple wheel material options - and a housing made from a durable, conductive composite material that minimizes static buildup, the Model TR1 Tru-Trac® is the ideal solution for countless applications.
