FlexGun
Electrically Driven Servo Weld Gun

The demands for high process speed,
production reliability and genuine tt
quality is a main focus in the automotive
industry. ABB offers the new Electric
Servo Gun, FlexGun, with parallel arm
movements as integrated solution
controlled by the robot controller.

Developed and manufactured by ABB, the FlexGun is a modular system. The same body can be combined with standard
or specific arms, for either X or C/J guns. This concept offers
a wide range of welding solutions to meet all the expectations
of the industry with short delays.
The parallel arm movement enhances the rigidity of the arms
to guarantee the process quality. Simple and robust, the FlexGun is also easy to integrate and maintain.

Gun Body

Key Benefits
− − Same gun body for all models (X & C/J Gun)
− − Designed for heavy electrode force
− − Less sensitive for welding spat
− − Less spare parts
− − Easy to change between X & C/J Gun
− − Deeper “window”
− − Centre of gravity near the robot attachment
−− Possibility of CAD validation
−− Robot simulation simplified by the gun symmetry
−− Drive unit integrated in robot control
−− No equalizing device – process performed by the robot
(software equalizing)
−− Quick gun commissioning and replacement
−− Easy maintenance
Options:
−− Tool changer
−− Gun deposit bracket
−− Transformer type
− − Robot attachment bracket
− − Electrode standard
