SmoothTool including Retrofit Kit for Miller
SmoothTool is a cobot welding package that is specifically designed for the UR arm. It is incredibly user-friendly and simplifies the programming of advanced welds, making it easy and intuitive to use. The package also provides several advanced welding functions to the robot, including Touch Sense, Weaving patterns, Multipass, Offset, Tacking, Stitching, an Angle System, a 3D Universe, and more.
SmoothTool is compatible with all UR robots (UR20 version is also available ) and comes with a programming flange that is used to Freedrive the robot and teach the welding path.
The software comes with a list of pre-integrated power sources that enable advanced features, but SmoothTool can be integrated with virtually any kind of welding power source, by using the RetroFit Kit by Smooth Robotics.
The RetroFit Kit for Miller
The Kit works for welding machines using a Miller trigger connector. Just mount the RetroFit connector plate and then it’s plug & weld.
The RetroFit Kit consists of:
1. The connector plate – A plate that fits the UR control box with connections for
digital inputs & outputs. The plate comes with two sockets – one for the adaptor, and one
for the current clamp. Additionally, the plate has two capped-off holes that can be used for
connections to externals like fume extraction, weld indicator light, or others. Two cable glands
are included for this purpose.
2. Connector - The Miller connector connects the power sources and the robot.
3. Current Clamp – This clamp goes on the welding cable and provides the feedback signal to
the robot when it measures current during arc on.
