At the heart of the RW2450 is a reconditioned Motoman UP6 XRC robot.
This six-axis robot was chosen for its speed, compact size and accuracy.

RobotWorx outfitted this workcell with the quickest in part positioning systems.
Twin headstock/tailstocks attach to both sides of the 180 degree indexing table and bring parts to the torch quickly.
The positioners have a 450kg capacity and a 1.5m space between face plates.
This efficient positioner increases throughput and reduces cycle time.
The robot welds parts on one side of the positioner, while more parts are loaded to the other side.
A quick spin is all that is required to continue work.
The head and tailstock is designed to shield the operator when loading parts.
Positioner and robot synchronising is controlled and monitored from an Allen Bradley PanelView 1000 operator station.
RobotWorx keeps operator and robot safety at the forefront.
This system has a full safety enclosure package.
Steel fencing and arc glare curtains form the workcell's exterior structure.
Other safety features include light curtains and interlocking doors.
