Application
Arc Welding
Controller
YRC1000
• Powerful, high-speed, six-axis
AR1730 robot is ideal for a variety
of welding applications.
• High wrist speed and payload
accommodate additional sensors
and accessories required for
complex parts.
• Extensive horizontal reach and
vertical reach accommodate wide
range of parts.
• Work envelope extends behind
robot, allowing space for tool
storage or maintenance.
• Slim profile design allows close
proximity placement of robots for
high-density workcells.
• Contoured arm allows easy access
to parts in tight spots and avoids
potential interference with fixtures.
• Patented double-yoke upper arm
design is much stronger than other
six-axis integrated cable designs.
• Symmetric wrist profile, with ample
range, provides equal torch access
to both sides of part.
• High allowable moment and inertia
ratings provide wrist rigidity and
consistent weld quality.
• 50 mm thru-hole for torch cabling,
hoses and sensor wires reduces
cable interference and wear.
• Minimal protrusion from the U-axis
and internal S-axis routing prolong
cable life and maximize part access.
• Single power and control cable
reduces wiring time and increases
work efficiency.
• New robot harness design
for improved diagnostics and
maintenance.
• Home position data can be saved
without battery connection for easy
maintenance.
• The AR1730 has an IP67-rated
wrist and an IP54 body standard.
• Floor-mounted model is standard.
Wall-or ceiling-mounted versions
are available.
• Compact YRC controller utilizes the
lightweight standard teach pendant
with intuitive programing.
