A wide variety of solutions for perfect
welding results
Munich/Haiger – From 3rd to 6th June 2014 the AUTOMATICA, the leading
exhibition automation and production-process innovations, will take place in
Munich. Here, companies from all branches of industry find the world's largest
range of robotics, assembly lines and machine-vision systems. In hall B4, booth
328 Carl Cloos Schweisstechnik GmbH will present their versatile solutions for
automated welding. The highlights are a compact robot system with a further
developed Tandem torch and high-tech sensors as well as the automated
consumable changer SpareMatic.
The compact robot welding system is in the focus of
the exhibition booth. Equipped with the latest Cloos
technology the system ensures perfect welding results.
Cloos offers a wide range of compact robot systems
which require little space and can be easily integrated
in every production line.

Tandem Weld for efficient welding times two
The CLOOS process competence is at the forefront in welding materials and components.
In the compact system the welding specialists will present the new Tandem Weld
generation for very quick and comfortable welding. In the case of Tandem Weld two
separate welding wires are fed and melted simultaneously in one molten pool. The
advantages of the Tandem Weld process are a high deposition rate, a high welding speed
and thus a low heat input. Since 1996 Cloos has been the global market leader in
Tandem Welding and has continuously developed this process. They offer new process
combinations for the most different requirements in thin and thick plate welding. The
new ZMW 950 Tandem torch is equipped with a powerful cooling integrated in the torch
neck and integrated gas nozzle sensor cables. This results in a higher deposition rate, a
longer service life and a simple maintenance of the torch.
Sensor technology ensures excellent weld quality
The robot system is also equipped with a laser sensor which balances the tolerances
between the programmed paths and the real component positions. This high-tech sensor
offers maximum flexibility. The tracking section is measured online during welding - the
torch position and various process parameters are adjusted continuously to reach an
ideal welding result.

Automated change of consumables - avoid production downtime
Another highlight is the new fully automated current
tip and gas nozzle changer by Cloos which allows nonstop welding with operative components. With this tool,
robot welding systems can be automatically operated
without any non-productive times. When the welding
robot needs new nozzles, the automatic current tip and
gas nozzle changer comes into play. The changer takes
the torch consumables and replaces them for new
ones. This process runs automatically and does not

with shorter production times. As set-up and nonproductive times are reduced to a minimum, an efficient use of the production system is
ensured. Due to its compact, modular design, the SpareMatic can be integrated into both
new and existing systems.
Software supports complex automation solutions
To support the increasing networking of the complex production systems, Cloos offers a
multitude of software solutions. From offline programming, data and process
administration to automated creation of welding instructions: The CLOOS software
increases the performance and the productivity of the production.
