Panasonic TL Series Review: Specs and Uses of the 2 m Fast Welding Robots
Updated: 7 days ago
The Panasonic TL series is a long-reach welding robot built for speed. The manufacturer does not publish a price. This review covers its specifications, features and uses.
Quick Verdict
Panasonic calls the TL the fastest on the market, with main-axis speeds set to the maximum, and builds the wire feeder into the arm. Reach is 1,801 mm on the TL 1800, which carries 8 kg, and 1,999 mm on the TL 2000 with 6 kg, giving a working area of about 2 m. A redesigned torch can be adjusted to the installed tool centre point for better path accuracy. Repeatability of ±0.15 mm is looser than the TM series, the trade for speed.
