Robot welding guns

universalGUN

The next generation of welding guns!

The universalGUN is the next generation of welding guns and combines over 60 years of experience in resistance welding in a consistently modular concept. 

Thanks to its intelligent design with a significantly reduced number of parts, it is a powerful and future-proof alternative to classic robot welding guns. 

The universalGUN impresses with its rigidity, low weight and optimum accessibility – ideal for modern, highly dynamic robotic welding applications. 

Thanks to its high rigidity and low deflection, the universalGUN is ideally suited for welding applications involving high-strength sheet metal and hot formers with Al-Si coatings.

Benefits in an overview:

  • Reduced complexity: fewer different components and fewer parts reduce costs and simplify spare parts management
  • High performance: shorter cycle times thanks to higher acceleration of the drive and robot, as well as increased rigidity with minimal deflection
  • Increased efficiency: lower energy consumption of the robot and reduced cooling water requirement (max. 6 l/min) with higher flow rate and lower pressure difference
  • Productivity: longer service life and improved MTTR and MTBF values ensure shorter downtimes and maximum plant availability
  • Easy maintenance: excellent accessibility and fewer spare parts enable quick and easy maintenance
  • Adaptive control and quality monitoring: position of the voltage tap and current sensor tailored to adaptive control methods and quality monitoring 

Typical applications

The universalGUN is designed for use in highly automated production lines and is particularly suitable for:

  • Robot-assisted resistance spot welding applications
  • Car body construction and structural components in the automotive industry
  • Production environments with high cycle rates and demanding availability requirements
  • Systems where efficiency, energy savings and ease of maintenance are key considerations
  • NON Automotive Industrie
