Welding robots in the international top class
As one of the leading specialists in the development and manufacture of high-
value
welding robots for demanding industrial applications, CLOOS uses its decadesold
know-how for continuous development. Thanks to the integration of innovative
technologies, the new generation of QIROX® welding robots offers additional
customer value and production advantages. Among the particular highlights
are the complete reworking of the product design and the introduction of an
optional seventh axis. Both innovations contribute to a considerable increase in the
flexibility and dynamics of the QIROX® welding robots. As a result, the automated
welding processes can be configured in a significantly more efficient manner.
Higher dynamics and weight reduction due to a leaner product design with
rounded ergonomic forms
Highest flexibility in the equipment by modular design of the robot mechanics
Optional seventh axis for increasing the working envelope and optimal
positioning of the welding torches
Less wear and improved, more user-friendly operation via optimised cables,
plugs and motor protection
Best processing quality due to a high repeatability
High offset speeds reduce the cycle times
The proven CLOOS quality ensures a particularly long service life and extended
maintenance intervals
Systems matched to production requirements, including suitable hardware and
software
220
Perfectly matched
CLOOS can supply you with all you need for optimised welding processes in your
production. All components have been proven a thousandfold in practice and are
perfectly matched to each other. This improves reliability, increases process speed
and minimises both the maintenance and the setup work. You will get just those
components which correspond to your production process requirements.

The most dynamic feature of the QIROX® Robot is the modular design of all the
mechanics. All components of the welding robot – from the robot base to the
axis tube – are perfectly matched to each other. By using different components, a
customised welding robot can be generated for every production requirement.

CLOOS tactile sensor also measures the seam volume.
Furthermore, the tactile sensor can be combined with
the arc sensors. In the case of a V seam, the CLOOS tac-

the seam volume. Weld parameters can be adapted to
the seam volume change. The tactile sensor is normal-
