GARMO GarLine C is the new seam tracking sensor for automated welding with cobots. This innovative seam tracking laser sensor with integrated software offers a set of unique capabilities to simplify operation and improve weld quality while also increasing performance in welding processes. GARMO GarLine C is specially designed for the most adverse working environments and reliably handles smoke, humidity, corrosion, and welding spatter. The sensor is resistant to magnetic fields, and its outer housing withstands both shock and hard impact.

Convenient software integration with Universal Robots and Fanuc cobot interfaces allows for the easy and intuitive setup of welding processes from the cobot operator interface. Automated seam detection means the operator doesn’t even have to manually teach exact points with the cobot! Real-time tracking of the seam ensures precise tracking of the welding device at all times and thus also optimum weld quality – even if the tolerance of the robot arm increases with age.

In addition, the use of a single standard cable (for power and data) simplifies sensor installation and ensures a consistent connection. The sensor comes with several easily replaceable disposable protective windows and a calibration plate for cobots from Universal Robots.
