Product Features
Smart Vision-Based Calibration & Inspection
Equipped with an arm-mounted camera and post-welding inspection system, VersaWeld™ ensures each weld is placed with pinpoint accuracy and then automatically verified. This dual-stage vision integration:
Reduces manual inspection time
Guarantees quality compliance
Minimizes rework by identifying inconsistencies instantly
7th Axis Linear Motion Integration
With cobots mounted on linear actuators, the system gains a 7th axis for expanded reach and flexibility. This feature is particularly useful in:
Accessing multiple weld points across large workpieces
Servicing multiple fixtures along a production line
Improving cycle time by reducing repositioning steps
