1. Development

At Daiwa Seiko’s own factory, the welding robot had spatter adhered to the nozzle, which deteriorated the welding quality. Each time this happened, the automatic operation had to be stopped for the operator to remove the spatter.

 “Is it possible to create a cleaning machine equipped with spatter removal, anti-adhesion agent application, and wire cutting functions?”, “Can we program it into the automatic operation process of the welding robot?”, were the questions we asked that lead to the development of this product.

2. Composition

Thin sheet metal (iron, stainless steel), ground products (iron), brushes, electric parts, etc.

3. Specifications

• To clean spatter from welding nozzle without using manpower. In addition, the rotating cutter improves the quality of the appearance by trimming the tip of the welding wire.
