Dimensioning
When designing and dimensioning the robot, the following points must be borne
the robot
in mind:

Torch cleaning
To ensure optimum running of the automated Twin welding process, we recom-
station
mend using a torch-cleaning unit such as:
Robacta Reamer Twin
Mechanical torch-cleaning, can be used for all base metals such as steel, alumini-
um, CrNi steels, copper etc.
Robacta TC 1000 Twin or Robacta TC 2000 Twin
Electromagnetic torch-cleaning for ferromagnetic base metals.

in the construction of rail vehicles & rolling stock, for longitudinal seams and
profiles
in shipbuilding, for fillet welds and profiles
in the construction of cars and vehicles, for lap welds and welds on wheel-
rims
in the automobile industry (Twin MIG brazing)
in boilermaking and tank construction, for butt-welds, longitudinal seams,
lap welds and circumferential seams
in the field of plant engineering, for V, double-V and fillet welds
on hoisting appliances, for corner seams
on earth-moving machinery and in the construction of special machinery, for
singlebevel butt welds and fillet welds
for overlay welding jobs
When 2 wirefeeders are mounted on the robot arm, this arm must designed
to sustain this double load. An additional load is imposed when wire spools
are mounted on the robot.
The torch holder on the robot must be of stable, sturdy design. A Twin torch
weighs around 1.5 - 2 times as much as a conventional robot torch.
The collision box must also be adapted to cope with the additional weight of
the Twin torch.
Allowance must also be made for double interconnecting cables and torch
hosepacks when designing and dimensioning the robot.
