ARC Mate® 120iB &120iB/10L

Basic Description

The ARC Mate 120iB series is a six-

axis, modular construction, electric
servo-driven family of robots
designed for precise, high-speed
welding and cutting. Based on their
simple and reliable construction,
the ARC Mate 120iB and ARC Mate
120iB/10L provide accurate and
consistent path performance
necessary for welding and cutting.

Robotics
The R-J3iB Controller and easy-to-
use ArcTool software, standard
with the ARC Mate series robots,
provide reliable performance with
high productivity.
