Welding Robots Make New Savings
Welding cap sensor WTS10 – a new generation
For checking welding caps at robot welding tongs – the WTS10
Robots dominate the manufacturing industry and in the area of welding robots, time and money are lost if welding caps have burnt out, have burrs, or simply no longer provide the optimum welding quality.
To improve this situation, Pepperl+Fuchs has developed a new generation of welding cap sensors.
The WTS checks the quality of the welding cap fronts after milling on both housing sides, and detects faults such as faulty milling or burrs.
Coaxial optics with parallel beam path, a new display concept, greater switching accuracy, a homogenous light spot and a high positional and tilting angle tolerance characterize the sensor and constitute a significant improvement upon the previous model OBV10.
