Pro Spot COBOT Spot Welder

Pro Spot

Pro Spot International, the company who introduced resistance spot welding to the North American collision repair industry in 1986, has designed and manufactured the world’s first COBOT spot welder. Pro Spot has combined their most sophisticated Spot Welder, the new i5s, with Universal Robots’ COBOT robotics technology. The combined platform is a powerhouse of productivity and throughput, delivering two to three times more manufacturing capacity than without the COBOT. Any manufacturer who joins sheet metal through spot welding can now enjoy the benefits of automating this process.

“Our i5s resistance spot welder is, by far, the most advanced welder we’ve ever made,“ said Ron Olsson, President and Founder of Pro Spot. “As a result, it makes the entire welding process extremely easy and reliable. Combining that level of technology with a safe, easy to program and use automated solution like the Universal Robots platform is truly the future of spot welding. Its breakthrough technology will bring a huge benefit to anyone utilizing spot welding as part of their manufacturing process,” he concluded. Bob Hamilton, Chief Engineer for Pro Spot Automation added, “I can’t think of a better go-to-market application than our i5s spot welder and the UR COBOT. It’s the forefront of tomorrow, right here today.”
