Robot Welding Workstation Buying Guide
GLS Robot Welding Workstation operates quickly and arcs stably, and the entire machine complies with ISO 10218-1/2 standards. Equipped with a complete set of safety protection systems, relying on physical safety principles, it can sense personnel entering the working area.
Intelligent Multi-Layer Safety Architecture for Industrial Welding Cells
GLS single robot welding workstation adopts a three-layer safety architecture design: physical isolation layer, functional safety control layer, and process monitoring layer.
We not only meet the standards, but also proactively design risk closed loops.
Physical protection and radiation isolation
The fully enclosed steel structure is equipped with anti-UV polycarbonate panels to isolate arc light, splash, ultraviolet light and smoke. The double-circuit interlocking of the safety door triggers safe torque shutdown, which is more reliable than ordinary power-off protection.
Functional safety control system (PL d/SIL 3)
Equipped with dual-channel safety relays and safety PLC, it has speed limit, area protection, and collision emergency stop functions, and complies with ISO 13849-1 and IEC 62061 safety standards.
Process risk prevention and control
Integrated smoke extraction interface and power isolation structure, equipped with automatic gun cleaning and anti-splash devices, taking into account production safety and continuous operation capabilities.
