Frequently asked questions

How large a workpiece can the MBW weld?

Maximum workpiece size is 12000 mm long, 1200 mm wide and 700 mm high; the robot is floor-rail mounted for welding thick plate and structural profiles.

What are the specifications of the MBW's robot arm?

It uses the MIDNIGHT-12R 6-axis robot with a 25 kg wrist payload, ±0.05 mm repeatability, 1850 mm reach and IP67 protection on the arm body.

Which welding power source does the MBW use, and which processes does it support?

It pairs with a Panasonic YD-FT3 series welder (YD-350FT3 or YD-500FT3), supporting CO2, MAG, pulsed MAG, stainless MIG, stainless pulsed MIG and stick electrode welding.
