Lorch Cobotronic makes all the difference.Software designed for maximum convenience and efficiency.
What is it that sets Lorch Cobot Welding World apart from other cobot solutions?
The outstanding software.
It has been perfectly tailored by our experienced welding experts to the welding technology and, consequently, to your needs – thanks to maximum user-friendliness and intuitive operation, you can work more efficiently.
The range of functions is continuously expanded through updates and further developments – and all in 12 different languages!
The practical modes of the Lorch Cobotronic software:
1. Job mode
- In job mode, the cobot takes over control of the power source’s parameters in a convenient and straightforward manner.
2. Individual mode
- For true professionals: Individual mode provides full access to the power source’s parameters and characteristic curves directly via the cobot’s control system.
3. Assistant mode
- Selecting welding parameters: Even for experienced welding professionals, choosing the right combination of material, wire and gas, as well as the correct welding speed, can sometimes be a tedious and complex process. With the Cobotronic’s assistance systems, this becomes easier and more efficient.
4. Advanced Assistant
- With Cobot Jobs, you can now customise parameter settings to suit your needs, name them, tag them – and save them as favourites.
Touch Sense
Seam detection by touch
Locating the seam by gently touching the gas nozzle to compensate for tolerance deviations or workpiece variations.
The benefits at a glance:
- Simple programming in just 3 steps
- Adjustable torch position and angle
- Ideal for defining a perfect start for SeamTracking
Workpiece variations can be easily detected and compensated for by the cobot.
Multilayer
Automated multi-pass welding
Automatic weld pass build-up with customisable options for simple, high-quality multi-pass welding with the cobot. Standalone feature: cannot yet be combined with other Cobotronic functions.
The benefits at a glance:
- Three parameter sets for improved root penetration and interpass fusion
- Optimal heat control
- Increased productivity through parallel multi-pass welding of multiple segments
- Flexibility in positioning thanks to customisation
- Efficiency and user-friendliness through a simple structure and automatic pass planning.
- Suitable for MIG-MAG 90° fillet welds. Automatic pass sequence intended for PBPosition.
Automated multi-pass welding to the highest standards and with minimal effort – simple and flexible.
Smart Copy
Copying and mirroring welding programmes
Copying pre-programmed welding sequences for specific components, which can then be easily moved and rotated within the workspace, ensures maximum productivity. As a result, performance and output can be significantly higher through the use of cobots.
The benefits at a glance:
- Moving programmes/parts of programmes by dimension or reference point
- Rotating around a base or reference point
Copying existing programmes ensures maximum productivity.
Quick Points
Easy programming
Extremely simple programming of waypoints and welding commands, with just a single click on the multifunction flange.
The advantages at a glance:
- Teach “waypoints” and “welding commands” at the touch of a button
- Select “waypoints/command type” by scrolling through the menu – also at the touch of a button
- Direct adoption of standard parameters for the movement
Even complex components can thus be fully programmed in a minimum of time.
Weaving
Simple seam tracking
Whether your component requires large gap dimensions or a high A-dimension, the pendulum function gives you perfect control over the molten pool, whether moving in a straight line, in a circular path or along the entire length of a component
The benefits at a glance:
- “Start Pendulum” can be selected at any time
- All subsequent paths are executed with oscillating movements – whether linear, circular or free movements
- Stops automatically at “Weld Stop”
- Precisely adjustable dwell time
New features:
Oscillation in combination with movements of the Move linear axis or Turn 100A rotary tilting table
Oscillation back and forth along the weld seam.
Seam Tracking
Simple seam tracking
Automatic weld seam correction for pendulum welds. Whether due to thermal distortion or excessive component tolerances – the cobot stays on track.
The advantages at a glance:
- Suitable for pendulum fillet welds on sheet metal from 4–5 mm thick
- Online calibration: The start of the weld path is recorded as a reference for the rest of the weld. No separate welds are required for calibration.
- Simple adjustment parameters: clear and compact adjustment of the seam tracking behaviour
- Parameter tables – pre-tested in our welding laboratory: we provide parameter settings for a wide range of specifications so that adaptation to the component can be implemented quickly.
