A Motoman robotic weldingcell, the third to be installed by the Karlskrona shipyard (Sweden), iscurrently being used in the fabrication of steel nodes required in theconstruction of the Oresund bridge linking Malmo (Sweden with Copenhagen(Denmark).
The cell, which has cutmanual welding times for the nodes by up to 50 per cent, comprises an XYZ gantrymounted Motoman SK6 welding robot interfaced with an especially developed 20tonne capacity manipulator. Programming is via a state-of-the-art Yasnac MRC32-bit microprocessor control.

To optimise up-time, useis also made of Motoman's ROTSY offline software which enables programming andproduction to run hand in hand.
Motoman Sk6 Mrc Manual
Each node welded isapproximately seven meters long, weighs up to 20 tonne when completed, andrequires three passes through the robot cell.
According to Karlskrona'sproduction manager, Michael Tranberg, the use of robotic welding was dictated bya number of factors:
'We have 108 nodes toproduce. These are fabricated from steel sheet varying in thickness from 12 to30mm, depending on final placement. In the welding process, we will deposit some330 tonne of wire.
'If we relied on manualwelding it would take far too long. A skilled worker, for instance, can meltabout 2.5kg wire/hr. With the Moroman SK6, using rapid arc, we can deposit8-10kg wire/hr and improve weld consistency.
'Minimising hazards andmaking the job interesting is also important as we have high expectations withregard to quality.
'Operators, therefore, dotheir own programming. The MRC is extremely user friendly but to simplifyfurther and provide flexibility, we had a tailor made software system prepared.This is proving ideal.'
Motoman Sk6 Manual Instructions
Construction of theOresund Bridge will take some 16,000 tonne of steel. The highest part is 1000mlong and consists of 54, 20m sections each of which weighs around 250 tonne.Each of the pylons holding the bridge is 240m high and the free heightunderneath is 60m.

Capable of handling a wide variety of factory automation applications, the Motoman SK6 can also be used as an arc welder. The Motoman SK6 robot has six axes of motion and a durable cycloidal wrist design. Motoman SK6 features a maximum payload capacity of 6 kg and is fully functional with the MRC or the XRC Controller.
RobotWorx also specializes in refurbishing robots and offers the used Motoman SK6 robot. The used SK6 robot is brought back to like-new condition through this excellent reconditioning proces and includes the RobotWorx Value Package.
The new and used SK6 is a versatile assembly robot for any factory floor.
