INNOVATION THROUGH AUTOMATION

EasyArc Cobot In a Cage

EasyArc™ Cobot in a Cage Highlights

The EasyArc™ Cobot in a Cage combines the accessibility of collaborative welding with the productivity of a fully enclosed robotic cell. Built around the ABB® GoFa™ cobot, this system offers manufacturers enhanced safety, faster cycle times, and consistent weld quality—all within a compact, turnkey solution.

Why Choose EasyArc™ Cobot in a Cage?

  • Safe & Productive – The enclosed design allows operators to work confidently around the system while enabling the robot to run at increased travel speeds—cutting cycle times without compromising safety.

  • Flexible Programming – Operate in two modes: simple cobot teaching for fast setup, or full industrial robot programming for advanced applications.

  • Intuitive Software – Powered by EasyArc™ software, users can quickly program new parts, adjust weld paths, and apply proven weld recipes—no coding expertise required.

  • Proven Welding Technology – Integrated with Fronius® welding systems, ensuring high-quality, repeatable welds on steel, stainless steel, and aluminum.

  • Ergonomic Efficiency – A 3-axis servo positioner enables single-point part loading, streamlining setup and reducing operator strain.

The Best of Both Worlds

Unlike standard cobots that sacrifice speed for safety, the EasyArc™ Cobot in a Cage bridges the gap—delivering the simplicity of collaborative robotics with the throughput of traditional automation. It’s the perfect entry-level welding system for manufacturers ready to scale production and reduce labor challenges.
