In the context of growing environmental awareness and the need to reduce energy consumption, our robotic welding systems have quickly evolved to comply with environmental regulations and improve energy efficiency.
Thanks to technological innovation, our systems can integrate various solutions to reduce environmental impact and optimize resource usage.
One of the key features of our modern robotic systems is the implementation of motors that regenerate braking current and feed it back into the system.
Through the Power Regeneration function, it is possible to recover energy that would otherwise be wasted during the braking process and reuse it, thus reducing overall electricity consumption. This not only contributes to energy savings but also enhances the operational efficiency of the system.
In addition to this implementation, other improvements have been made:
If the robot does not perform any movement within a certain time period, the brakes on all motors are automatically engaged to reduce the power required to maintain the robot’s position.
When the “ECO mode” of brake control is enabled, the brake control timer will be shorter in AUTO mode to reduce energy consumption.
When all robot brakes are applied for a certain period of time (e.g., due to an emergency stop or another reason), the controller cooling fans are stopped to reduce energy consumption.
Additionally, to minimize environmental impact, oils, greases, and cooling liquids with low or zero impact are used.
These lubricants are formulated to ensure optimal performance without compromising the safety of operators or the surrounding ecosystem. The use of eco-friendly lubricants and cooling liquids helps preserve air and soil quality, reducing environmental pollution caused by industrial activities.
Another important component of our robotic systems is advanced sensing technology, which enables precise monitoring and control of all system functions
For example, constant monitoring of airflow in smoke extraction channels ensures effective capture and removal of harmful gases and particles produced during the welding process. By automatically adjusting the speed and pressure of the air based on specific needs, the efficiency of the extraction system can be maximized, minimizing the release of pollutants into the workplace environment and the surrounding air.
Furthermore, monitoring system downtime allows for the identification and correction of energy wastage during periods of inactivity.
By analyzing usage data, energy management strategies can be implemented to optimize startup and shutdown times, thus reducing overall energy consumption. This approach not only contributes to energy savings but also enhances operational efficiency, allowing for maximum production and reduced management costs.
In welding applications, it is possible to optimize welding parameters based on material and process specifications, reducing waste and improving the quality of the final product.
This not only leads to greater energy savings but also reduces waste and scrap materials.
Our robotic systems are designed and configured to comply with environmental regulations and promote energy savings through the integration of advanced technologies. Thanks to regenerative motors, eco-friendly lubricants, and advanced sensing technology, our systems offer not only environmental benefits but also economic and operational advantages for companies that adopt them.
