Pro Spot COBOT Spot Welder
Pro Spot International, the company who introduced resistance spot welding to the North American collision repair industry in 1986, has designed and manufactured the world’s first COBOT spot welder. Pro Spot has combined their most sophisticated Spot Welder, the new i5s, with Universal Robots’ COBOT robotics technology. The combined platform is a powerhouse of productivity and throughput, delivering two to three times more manufacturing capacity than without the COBOT. Any manufacturer who joins sheet metal through spot welding can now enjoy the benefits of automating this process. “Our i5s resistance spot welder is, by far, the most advanced welder we’ve ever made,“ said Ron Olsson, President and Founder of Pro Spot. “As a result, it makes the entire welding process extremely easy and reliable. Combining that level of technology with a safe, easy to program and use automated solution like the Universal Robots platform is truly the future of spot welding. Its breakthrough technology will bring a huge benefit to anyone utilizing spot welding as part of their manufacturing process,” he concluded. Bob Hamilton, Chief Engineer for Pro Spot Automation added, “I can’t think of a better go-to-market application than our i5s spot welder and the UR COBOT. It’s the forefront of tomorrow, right here today.”

Overview
The i5s Spot Welding Cobot is designed to make setting up and running automatic spot welding easy and trouble-free. Teaching weld points from the user interface can be done via the integrated touch screen Programming Wizard interface, or via UR Polyscope Tablet. Saved recipe files can be loaded, edited, and saved easily from a touch screen graphical interface.
Both weld points and clearance movement points are easily defined without being a programmer. Just move the spot welding head into positions and press the TEACH button. No programming skills required!
The Pro Spot engineering team will conduct a complete assessment of your application and then create a 3D simulation of your spot welding process. Once the simulation is fine tuned and accepted by you, a detailed budget will be submitted for your approval. This part of the process can be conducted virtually anywhere in the world.
Approximately six weeks later your automated spot welding solution will arrive. Complete set up and training materials will be provided, and our engineering team can visit your facility for a more hands-on installation process.The automated system will be programmed and ready to start welding upon installation.
Operating the system is as easy as plugging it into a three phase power input (220V or 480V) and a 100 psi compressed air input and you’re ready to weld. Once the parts to be welded are loaded, press the Operate button to perform automatic welds at multiple locations on your part. New weld positions are extremely easy to program through the Teach function of the UR Cobot and the Auto Weld function of the Pro Spot i5s. You simply move to the weld location and Teach the position and weld settings. The Auto Weld feature detects the material thickness and resistance to make the perfect weld every time. WiFi connectivity allows remote data logging, job reporting and updates to the system.
Throughout your use of the system Pro Spot will be available for adjustments, technical support and help you add new customized solutions to your welding applications.
