Why automate with a LORCH Cobot System?
Increase productivity and cost saving with fast, efficient, versatile, consistent quality, reproducible welding 24/7. Reduce labour costs and rework and free up your specialist welding staff to set up, oversee and focus on tasks which need their expertise.
There’s a shortage now and it’s only going to get worse as competition from our neighbour across the Tasman increases. New technology not only relieves existing staff from monotonous work and reduces the need for more staff, it can attract millenials into the workforce as welding with collaborative robots is cleaner, safer, more interesting and applicable to their style of learning.
Simple to operate even for workers without computing or programming experience. The welding process can be programmed via the touch display tablet, or the torch can “learn” the welds by being moved to the start, waypoints, and end positions manually via the free-drive function.The system will then use the recorded data to weld the workpiece and repeat.
It’s also intuitive and easy for staff to learn the software programme to set weld parameters and weld steps. Each welding process can be saved in the memory so the system can repeatedly reproduce the exact same flawless weld seam.
Reduce staff exposure to welding dangers,e.g. arc and fumes, set the Cobot to weld and walk away.
No need for expensive safety guards or barriers such as with industrial robots. Built-in sensors mean the robot arm of the welding Cobot will stop immediately at the slightest touch, allowing the welder to work safely side by side with the robot if needed.
Its light weight of less than 30 kilograms makes the Cobot very portable. It can be quickly mounted on top of the welding bench, enabling seamless and immediate integration into the existing workflow.
Compare the cost of a LORCH Cobot Welding Package with a year’s wages for a skilled welding employee, add the increased productivity, and you’ll see why this is a system which can deliver a high return on investment surprisingly quickly.
The amount to be invested into Cobot welding is significantly lower than that for far less flexible industrial robot welding. It is entry level automation to help with the challenges faced by small to medium-sized manufacturing businesses.
Purpose built hardware and Cobotronic software optimised for the LORCH welding system sets the LORCH Cobot Welding System apart from other cobots in the industrial market. Other systems attempt to marry a cobot with a welding machines, LORCH designed the hardware and software to work together as one.

Hardware Option
Cobot Move Linear Axis
More than 4.5m reach for long, large, and nesting operations.
Hardware Option
Cobot Turn and Tilt
The two-axis positioner can be programmed instantly and intuitively on the common control panel of the Cobot. The Lorch Motion software enables the programming of the Cobot and the rotary tilting table to be coordinated. So the time consuming turning and re-clamping of the workpiece by hand is no longer necessary – valuable working time is saved and the welder’s workload is significantly reduced.
Hardware Option
Seam Pilot
SeamPilot utilizes a line laser on the welding torch bracket to make programming the Cobot and ensuring the perfect weld even easier. The operator simply has to show it a rough starting point. The line laser will then find the weld seam and follow it to the automatically detected end point, as in Seam Tracking. The laser line sensor predicts the course of the weld seam for the Cobot, permitting automatic welding of difficult courses in curves, waves, or circles, poor fit-out pieces, even variation in repeated jobs.
Hardware Option
Seam Tracking
Laser Seam Tracking weld correction automatically keeps the Cobot on the course of the weld seam regardless of deviations, distortion, or poor fit-up. Lorch sensor technology will detect the arc course during the weaving movement of the torch to ensure the torch stays at the centre of the seam and covers any gaps.

The Welding System
The LORCH Cobot Welding Package MIG-MAG Edition ships with the premium LORCH welding system S-RoboMIG XT plus high-end inverter technology, interface and precision feeder system. The high-performance power source of the LORCH Cobot Welding Package with its Full-Process equipment and lightning-fast control technology allows you to weld almost anything you want -with ultimate efficiency.
The Torch
The system is complemented by the torch LMR 450 W, which has been designed especially for MIG-MAG Cobot welding applications: The Cobot-optimised holder and the dual circuit cooling system for an extended service life of the wear parts provide for ideal welding performance and improved user safety.
The Speed Processes
Better yet, all of our innovative Speed processes come standard as well. This guarantees the optimum welding process for each specific application. The TwinPulse XT, for instance, lets you produce appealing seams with a TIG look and a level of efficiency that cannot be beat.
