OLP Robotics is an official system integrator and cobot partner for German welding equipment supplier Lorch. This partnership enables us to leverage the latest cobot welding technology and technical support. The Lorch package is a turnkey system incorporating a Universal Robots UR10 cobot, which OLP Robotics is well-equipped to support as an official UR system integrator. 

​
Cobot welding is a game-changer for manufacturing. Besides the productivity and safety advantages attained through automation of the welding process, cobots offer additional benefits, including:

Flexibility

Cobots are lightweight (25kg) and do not require heavy-set anchoring to hold them in position. Rather, they can be easily transported and installed on a new base position and can even be mounted on magnetic bases for fast and simple relocation. This greatly expands their capability and work envelope to include large-scale components.

Inherent Safety

Cobots have built-in safety features which means that they do not require expensive work cells restricting access of personnel to the process. Welding cobots do require safety screens, however operators can closely observe the process as long as they are wearing the proper PPE and follow reasonable safety precautions. 

Economical Approach

Cobot welding systems require significantly lower investment than industrial welding automation, and offer a faster ROI period.

Easy Programming

The Lorch package comes with inbuilt "Cobotronic" software, which greatly simplifies weld programming by guiding the operator through the process. In addition to this, the cobot can be quickly positioned by manually dragging the arm in "Freedrive" mode to the desired pose. 

As an experienced welding technology company, Lorch are able to deliver a package that is designed for welders and includes Lorch-proprietary features such a Speed Processes. The comprehensive scope of supply combines high-quality products and innovative software technology to deliver an intuitive and versatile solution to almost any welding application. Each key system component is designed to work together, minimising the set up and training time required. 

The Lorch Cobotronic software is the brain of the system, providing a user-friendly interface seamlessly integrated into the Universal Robots touch screen pendant.

As Lorch system integrators, OLP Robotics are able to provide consulting, training and servicing support throughout the lifecycle of the project and long-term investment.
