SVAR welding cells are complete welding workstations powered by a collaborative robot. In design and execution at beboq robotics, we rely on the Kassow Robots seven-axis cobot or the FANUC CRX collaborative robots. In terms of welding sources, we choose Kemppi, but our collaborative welding station can work with whatever source suits your needs best. The cells can carry out the MIG or TIG process.
SVAR weld cells from beboq robotics are easy to program and intuitive to use. Typically, welding is programmed by a welder or welders, but day-to-day process operation is performed by a trained operator, with no requirement for a welding license. Welding targets meet all safety requirements. The main advantages of our robotic welding stations are: short payback time, the possibility of easy automation, coping with the shortage of welders in the market, and safety confirmed by CE declaration of conformity and compliance with standards.
What makes SVAR robotic welding stations stand out

The most important features of our welding cell
Safety
Collaborative robots are famous for the safety they provide. In the case of welding, built-in solutions are not enough. That’s why the SVAR welding cells we build additionally provide safety against temperature and (light) radiation, and can also provide hazardous fume extraction.
The task is accomplished by appropriate construction of the station, which detects if it has been opened in an unauthorized manner (during the process). The whole is supervised by a dedicated safety controller. Windows made of approved welding screens allow an unarmed and unprotected eye with goggles or welding visors to safely observe the welding process. The whole system allows you to place the station in almost any place in the plant without worrying about the safety of bystanders and the station operator.
Integration and communication
The entire process is managed by a robot. During program execution, the robot selects the source program (a job) or sets its parameters, starts and shuts down the arc, and waits for confirmation of arc ignition. In addition, the robot can manage a cleaning station, turntable, positioner or linear actuator. This makes it easy to build solutions for welding even difficult workpieces.
Ease of programming
With an intuitive user interface, a multitude of welding-dedicated functions, the workstation can be easily programmed for new welding tasks. Of course, this step must be carried out by a person with welding qualifications – a welder or a welder. On the other hand, no experience or training in robotics is necessary. The job training provided by Beboq Robotics is sufficient for the freedom to work and program a collaborative robot.
Operation collaborative welding station
The process of production operation with the station involves placing the workpieces that will be welded in the prepared fixtures so that they are properly positioned and firmly held. The operator then closes the cells and starts the process with a button. The robot performs the task and, when the process is complete, informs the operator that the cell is ready for reloading.
In the case of cells with two work spaces, they are separated from each other by a permanent safety barrier. The robot can perform the welding process in one part of the cell and the other part can be safely reloaded by the operator during this time.
