ARC SENSOR FD-AR

Real-Time Seam Tracking: Precision Control through Weaving Technology. The FD-AR Arc Sensor provides a smart solution for tracking weld seams in real-time. By utilizing the weaving motion of the robot, it automatically adjusts the torch path to compensate for unpredictable variations during the welding process.

Main features

  • Dynamic Correction: Corrects for curved workpieces or thermal distortion—deviations that cannot be fixed by initial position detection alone.
  • Medium/Thick Plate Specialist: Optimized for workpieces with medium thickness or greater.
  • Cost-Effective Tracking: The most affordable option among all available seam tracking sensor technologies.
  • Minimal Interference: Requires no additional parts or external hardware around the torch, making it easier to maintain and ideal for tight workspace.

Note: This sensor is not applicable for aluminum welding tracking.
