Laser Welding and Cutting with the Yaskawa MOTOMAN GA50

The Problem: Inconsistent Quality in Laser Welding and Cutting

You’ve been there. Your business invests heavily in the latest laser welding and cutting equipment, expecting precise, high-quality results every time. Yet, reality often falls short.

The laser head on your current setup struggles with complex geometries, leading to inconsistencies and rework. Even with skilled operators, manual adjustments are frequent, productivity dips, and frustration mounts.

The added cost of wasted materials, downtime, and machine maintenance only makes matters worse. For commercial businesses dealing with high-precision tasks like laser welding or cutting, this scenario is all too familiar.

The pressure to deliver top-notch quality on tight deadlines is immense, and the limitations of conventional machinery can lead to significant setbacks.

The Solution: Yaskawa MOTOMAN GA50

The Yaskawa MOTOMAN GA50—a 6-axis robot specifically designed for applications demanding the utmost precision and path accuracy. The GA50 takes the frustration out of laser welding and cutting by combining cutting-edge technology with complete precision.

Why the MOTOMAN GA50?

1. Unmatched Precision and Accuracy: The GA50 is engineered with advanced Sigma-7 servo drive technology and tolerance-optimised precision gearboxes. This means it can handle complex geometries like circles, curves, and straight paths with an accuracy that is rare for 6-axis articulated robots. For businesses struggling with inconsistencies, this translates to fewer errors and a dramatic reduction in rework.
    

2. Handles Large Workpieces: With a robust payload and reach combination, the GA50 can process large workpieces using common laser heads. If your current equipment struggles with larger or more complex pieces, the GA50 provides the capability to handle them efficiently without compromising on quality.
    

3. Built for Harsh Environments: The GA50’s IP67 wrist protection means it’s designed to operate in tough conditions without frequent maintenance. If your current setup is prone to breakdowns or needs constant adjustments, the GA50’s durable design helps ensure smoother, more reliable operation.
    

4. Easy Integration and Space-Saving Design: The GA50 features a slim design with a small footprint, making it easy to integrate into existing setups. If space is a concern, this robot offers a powerful solution without the need for major shop floor changes.
    

5. Versatile Applications: Whether it’s laser welding, cutting, or cladding, the GA50 is versatile enough to handle various tasks with the same high level of precision. This flexibility can reduce the need for multiple machines, saving space and reducing costs.

Real-World Benefits

Consider the experience of a mid-sized metal fabrication company that was grappling with inconsistent laser welding results. Their existing setup required constant manual adjustments to achieve the desired weld quality, causing delays and increasing costs.

After integrating the Yaskawa MOTOMAN GA50 into their workflow, the company quickly saw a turnaround. The GA50’s high path accuracy eliminated the need for frequent adjustments, and the improved consistency reduced material waste and rework.

Within weeks, they were delivering higher quality products faster and with fewer errors, leading to happier clients and increased orders.
