FFTweldtec Mobile TipChanger The mobile cap changer for stationary welding guns

Our mobile cap changer is an innovative solution for the automated and time-optimised replacement of electrode caps on stationary welding guns. It was specially developed for flexible use in modern manufacturing processes and impresses with its compact design and low weight, which allows for easy integration into robot grippers.

The electrode cap changing process is fully automatic and takes place in a precisely coordinated sequence. The mobile cap changer aligns itself precisely with the individual electrode arms of the stationary welding gun one after the other and performs the cap change – without the need for manual intervention. 

The design of the magazine is optimally matched to the changing tool: both components are mounted in the same orientation, so that no additional reorientation of the mobile cap changer (M-EKW) is necessary during the changing process.

Overall, the mobile cap changer offers an efficient, automated and maintenance-friendly solution that can be ideally integrated into existing production environments, thus contributing to the optimisation of your production – for maximum process reliability, reduced downtime and maximum productivity in welding technology.

Advantages of the FFTweldtec Mobile TipChanger Seamless integration into your production process.

Increased efficiency

  • Increased availability and productivity through time-optimized changeover

Flexible cap change process

  • Various shanks and caps possible
  • Minimal space requirement on the gripper
  • Simple programming
  • Filling of the magazine via quick-change cap bars

Cost savings

  • Cost savings due to less wear on the electric shafts.

Robust and easy to maintain

  • Use of proven components for high reliability and easy spare parts procurement.
  • Low maintenance requirements to minimize downtimes.

Options for the FFTweldtec Mobile TipChanger

Standardized collection container

  • The FFT collection container is used for the targeted disposal of used electrode caps in production systems in the automotive industry.
  • The electrode caps are emptied from the collection container via the disposal flap (manually operated).
  • The caps are directed into a transport container via the chute.

High force version

  • The FFT M-EKW-HK enables the smooth and automatic replacement of used electrode caps for resistance spot welding on stationary guns.
  • The FFTweldtec Mobile TipChanger removes the electrode caps via a wedge separator that moves linearly between the electrode cap and the starting collar of the electrode shaft.
  • The electrodes are pressed onto the welding gun for resistance spot welding using high-force technology.

Robot docking

  • Direct connection of an FFTweldtec Mobile TipChanger to any robot
  • Can be used universally, whether with or without the high-force option of the mobile electrode cap changer
  • Standardized design guarantees fast delivery times and optimized interfaces
  • Individual customer requirements can be taken into account.
