Cloos And Baumüller Form Development Partnership For Future-proof Solutions

The expansion of innovation leadership in automated welding technology is the goal of the cooperation between the companies Cloos and Baumüller. By combining the core competencies, Cloos wants to offer the best of two worlds in one on the market: specialized, procedural knowledge paired with automation solutions. The user can benefit from increased efficiency in the manufacturing processes and increased quality.

Central user requirements

Productivity, quality, flexibility and future security - these are the central requirements that users place on solutions in automated welding technology. These criteria are also in the focus of the partners in the first joint project between Cloos and Baumüller, the Qirox QRH-280 welding robot.

A high level of productivity in the manufacturing process is achieved through the high dynamics of the robot, in order to realize the offset of the welding arm from seam to seam particularly quickly for components with many spatial movements. By using a high-performance control in connection with high-performance drives, the cycle times are to be reduced and the number of pieces increased.

Partner for complete automation

For maximum quality, in turn, high repeatability in the welding process is important. For this reason, particularly precise drive and control technology is used in the complete solution. Thanks to open interfaces in hardware and software and a modular system structure, the welding robot can be flexibly integrated into existing and new production systems. In the production process, the user benefits from flexible adjustment options, for example when changing the workpiece. The platform-independent and scalable controller can be expanded to meet any requirement profile and is ready for the requirements of Industry 4.0 thanks to intelligent networking options.

As development partners at eye level, Cloos and Baumüller want to go into the future together. By combining the core competencies of both companies, Cloos offers solutions for automated welding on the market that offer users a high level of investment and future security for their manufacturing processes.
