For welding automation that prioritises precision and efficiency, SmoothTool is the answer. It refines demanding welding operations, enabling the creation of consistently high-quality welds. With its intuitive interface, SmoothTool empowers welders to effortlessly achieve exceptional results.

SmoothTool Features

Weaving

Add weaving patterns to linear and circular paths

Stitching

Control your stitch weld with parameters, e.g., retraction, weld length, airspeed, number of welds

Surfacing

Hardfacing and cladding for durable welds

3D Visualisation

Check if your welding path needs correcting before pressing start. Zoom into different segments of the welding path for a closer look

Multipass

Easily create a weld with multiple passes

Tacking

Make precise consistent tacks for superior quality

Angle System

Simply type in the desired work and travel angles

Touch Sense

Locate the position of the piece and adjust the path

Offset

Copy and offset items in X, Y, Z directions or hand-guide the robot to your preferred offset position to ensure the best weld every time

UR+ Certified

SmoothTool is a ‘plug-and-play’ robotic welding kit that is tested and approved by Universal Robots.

SmoothTool/Cobot Benefits

Increased Productivity and Efficiency

Work continuously without fatigue, leading to higher throughput and faster cycle times. They excel at repetitive welding tasks, freeing up human welders for more complex and value-added work. This helps businesses to meet production demands and improve overall efficiency.

Improved Weld Quality and Consistency

Provide precise and consistent welding, reducing defects and rework. They maintain the necessary welding parameters, ensuring high-quality welds every time. This leads to improved product quality and reduced waste.

Enhanced Worker Safety

Can handle hazardous and physically demanding welding tasks, reducing the risk of injuries to human welders. By taking on tasks that expose workers to heat, fumes, and repetitive strain, cobots create a safer working environment.

Flexibility and Adaptability

Easily reprogrammed and redeployed for different welding tasks, making them ideal for high-mix, low-volume production. They can adapt to changing production needs and handle various welding applications.

Ease of Use and Programming

Designed for user-friendly programming, often with intuitive interfaces that require minimal robotics expertise. This makes it easier for welders to program and operate the cobots, reducing the need for specialised technicians. This ease of programming, allows for faster set up, and changes to production.

Cost Effective

While the initial investment can be a factor, cobots and SmoothTool can provide a strong return on investment by increasing productivity, reducing rework, and optimising material usage. They can also help businesses address the shortage of skilled welders, reducing labour costs.
