10 Reasons to Choose SwitchWeld
When it comes to affordable collaborative robotic welding solutions, too many solutions force you to choose and compromise on features, quality, and useability. Relying too much on third-party plugins to get everything communicating, and limiting your choice of welding tools and power supplies.
SwitchWeld addresses all of those problems!
The SwitchWeld Navigator™ is a turn-key cobot-based metal working solution designed for users with minimal cobot welding experience. It makes the robotic welding process simple, quick, and safe through a unique end effector puck that enables precise robot positioning without using a teach pendant.
The Navigator is universally compatible with all popular welding power sources and leverages an AUBO Collaborative robot for safe operation.
The system supports easy swap out for all standard welding attachments, allowing you to use your existing welding tools and workflow making it the ultimate all-in-one solution to start automating your welding process painlessly.
Here are the top 10 reasons that SwitchWeld is the best collaborative welding solution for your projects:
1. Works With Your Existing Tools
The SwitchWeld collaborative robotic welding solution works universally with your existing welding tools and most popular welding power sources.
Thanks to the included hardware and software, this all-in-on robotic welding solution, you can use your existing welding tools and power sources, save on costs associated with proprietary welding hardware systems, and you’ll always have the freedom to choose your own tools and power supply.
2. Supports Nearly All Popular Welding Power Sources
You read that right, the SwitchWeld system includes all of the cables, converters, plugins, tools, and other hardware you’ll need to set up the system with your existing welding power source.
SwitchWeld is a universal robotic welding system, that supports most welding power sources, for a full list and more details contact our support team today.
3. No Programming Experience Needed
The SwitchWeld robotic welding system was designed to be a hands-on user experience. Operators do not need previous cobot, welding, or complex programming experience. Simply use the point, arc, orient, and free drive buttons on the end eector puck to quickly program the cobot’s trajectory by hand. The joystick enables high-precision adjustments for the welding tool so you can ditch jogging joints without losing control over your welding process. We want to help you save money on automation.
4. All-In -One system
SwitchWeld, an affordable robotic welding system from AUBO Robotics USA includes all the welding hardware and custom software you’ll need to get your welding tools, power supply, and cobot communicating right out of the box. The SwitchWeld cobot welding software is specifically designed for AUBO Cobots so you can get started with cobot-based metal working without the headache of additional third-party plugins, and unreliable so‑ware integrations.
5. Easily Portable by Hand
The SwitchWeld is a portable cobot welding system, allowing your team to adopt a flexible workflow. The entire system can be redeployed to new job sites by hand. Our included robotic welding base enables your team to mount different surfaces quickly and effortlessly, even in horizontal orientation. SwitchWeld enables your team to bring the power of cobot welding anywhere on the shop floor.
6. Simple and Friendly User Interface
The SwitchWeld User Interface (UI) was designed in a way that is intuitive and simple for anyone to understand – regardless of robotic experience or training. We’ve specifically designed this software with welding professionals and welding projects in mind by placing everything you need to fine-tune your cobot welding settings at your fingertips and minimizing software interaction.
The SwitchWeld UI was designed for welding applications from the ground up. Welding professionals will feel right at home with intuitive control over weld settings they’ll need and use most at the job site. Tool adjustments, point editing capabilities, and more are accessible at a glance. We’ve also implemented quick and easy access to the recommended welding power, tool, and cobot settings you’ll need for your welding projects.
7. Enables Precision Adjustments Easily
Most cobot welding systems require jogging and extensive programming. Not ours. We’ve included an intuitive joystick for precise movement in 6 degrees of freedom, allowing the operator to quickly translate or rotate the cobot and welding tool without touching the teach pendant or jogging points. The Joystick enables accurate torch tip adjustments for more precise welds.
8. Easy Setup Plugin Box
The SwitchWeld system is designed to deploy quickly: no complex wiring diagrams, no software loopholes, and no third-party add-ons or hardware. The plugin box enables communication between the AUBO Cobot and your desired welding equipment. The plugin box is universally compatible with any welding power supply through adapters.
9. SwitchWeld Navigator Puck Simplifies Operation
It only takes three buttons to program an entire welding project with the SwitchWeld Navigator puck, and we’ve engineered the process to be hands-on, making it perfect for welders and operators with no training or cobot experience. Just drag the cobot using the free-drive system, record your welding points with the buttons on the face of the puck, and start welding.
