Robotic Welding The new generation 3G Modular Welding Gun Quality without compromise www.arotechnologies.com

Since the middle of the 20th Century, the name ARO has been synonymous with resistance welding. Today the ARO Welding Technologies group is a world leader in welding equipment and systems to the automotive and other industries. Widely acclaimed as the leader in its field, ARO technologies are chosen by clients who recognise ARO’s superior functionality, reliability and quality. Every ARO product is designed to provide the client with the lowest life cycle costs. Combine this with the highest levels of client support and after sales service available anywhere and it is clear why ARO is widely...

Manufacturing industries are under constant demand to improve efficiency, reduce costs, and with an eye to the environment to reduce their impact on the world’s resources. Using ARO’s unequalled modular and servo gun expertise, the family of 3G guns has up to 60% fewer parts than conventional gun designs and there is a high degree of component commonality between all of the 3G gun types. Our philosophy is to take a forward thinking approach to these challenges, and help our customers meet these demands by developing the world’s first truly modular welding gun assembly, the ARO 3G robotic welding...

The 3G gun bodies: The revolutionary 3G modular system allows four gun variations to be created from nine shared modules, seven specific modules and 2 plug and play arms. These four variations are called the 3G-C, 3G-X (copper arms), the 3G-Z and the 3G-CZ (aluminium arms) guns which have different welding force versus arm length performance. Rapid and easy assembly: Assembly of the four types uses the 3G modular design. A fully functioning gun can be assembled quickly from a small number of standardised components. Once assembled the arms simply plug in and the whole assembly is ready for inspection: MTTR...

“ARO sets new standards through innovation,design and forward thinking

The 3G modular system has considerable advantages over existing conventional robotic welding guns. Capital investment incentives: Reduced investment in spare guns required – 3G built in simplicity, leads to reduced MTTR. Reduced costs for spare parts due to standardisation of parts. Improved running costs: Dramatic reduction in component diversity and storage requirements. Up to 60% fewer parts than a conventional gun design. Less in house repair engineers required. Concept relies on replacing modules by non-specialised workforce. Easy trouble-shooting due to single side mounting and modular...
