[WHITE PAPER] Engineering The Future With Remotely Operated, Multi-Function Robotic Work Cells

Navus

Traditionally, adaptive welding robots have been used to handle low skill, repetitive tasks from a fixed location. But with the tools and features available today for offline programming, sensing, tool changing, and remote monitoring, robotic systems are gaining the flexibility and technology needed to widen the range of capabilities. This is particularly useful when the welding requirements involve extremely large metal parts located in a dangerous environment.

The unprecedented Navus system featured in this free white paper, Engineering The Future With Remotely Operated, Multi-Function Robotic Work Cells, moves the robotic welding workcell 100-feet into position in a dangerous environment while the operator works remotely from a safe location. The multi-task robot effectively preps joints, welds, provides inter-pass cleaning, and vacuums welds remotely.

By drastically reducing operator risk and increasing productivity with multi-function robotics, Navus’ system substantially reduces the prohibitive costs of time and expense of traditional methods required to achieve this vital task.

In the free white paper, you will see how this innovative robotic system:

  • Saves money and time by bringing weld cell to part.
  • Reduces safety risk of harsh work environment with remote operation.
  • Saves time by eliminating need for operator rotations every 15 minutes.
  • Reduces quality risks of weld inclusions with use of 1 operator.

Navus To Speak at National Robotic Arc Welding Conference

Navus

Buck Barber, Sales & Marketing Manager for Navus Automation, Inc., will speak at the National Robotic Welding Conference & Exhibition (NRAWC) in Milwaukee on June 7, 2017. The conference highlights the newest tools and techniques for data driven, flexible robotic manufacturing.

Adaptive welding robots have traditionally been employed to handle low skill, repetitive tasks, from a fixed location. But with the tools and features available today for offline programming, sensing, tool changing, and remote monitoring, robotic systems are gaining the flexibility and technology needed to increase a single robot’s range of capabilities.

As an example of those advances in capabilities, Barber’s presentation at NRAWC will reveal how a remotely operated, multi-function robotic work cell makes welding in a dangerous environment more safe and efficient. The unprecedented system is designed to move the robotic welding work cell 100 feet into position in a dangerous environment while the operator works remotely from a safe location. The multi-task robot effectively preps joints, welds, provides inter-pass cleaning, and vacuums welds remotely.

Barber will be representing Navus as one of the featured industry leaders presenting on data driven flexible manufacturing with single or multiple robots, and new advances in optimizing upstream processes. This year marks the 34th anniversary of the conference. The mission of the conference has been to present new and emerging technology in the areas of welding and automation. The conference was unique from the beginning in that it did not have a call for papers but instead featured invited speakers, like Barber, based on cutting edge technologies.

With years of research and development and a certified weld inspector on staff, Navus has developed innovative strategies to meet the toughest challenges. Founded in 1998, Navus Automation, Inc. is an industry leader in full-service custom machine building, welding, and integration solutions. Navus collaborates with many Fortune 500 companies in the automotive, military, agriculture, and consumer industries. Navus engineers provide exceptional robotic solutions for integrated systems that increase productivity, quality, and safety.

We invite you to view two new videos on our website that showcase our innovative work.

The first video features an unprecedented welding project that was designed to move a robotic welding workcell 20 yards into position in a dangerous environment. This multi-task robot effectively preps joints, welds, provides inter-pass cleaning, and vacuums welds remotely from an operator’s console that utilizes a live monitor and a HD camera for post inspection.

Navus services include precision CNC machining as well as the prototyping, fabrication and assembly of metal and composite materials for aerospace, automotive, medical device, nuclear, and pharmaceutical applications. Our commitment to quality is the result of having qualified personnel dedicated to meeting our goal of serving the customer.
