BEHR PROCESS LLC Revolutionizes Robotic Welding with New Blade Arm Set

Livonia, MI – October 26, 2023 – BEHR PROCESS LLC, a leading provider of robotic welding solutions, today announced the release of its innovative Blade Arm Set, designed to dramatically improve the performance and accessibility of robotic welding systems. Based out of Livonia, Michigan, BEHR PROCESS LLC has a long-standing reputation for tackling challenging welding applications and delivering high-quality, reliable solutions to a diverse range of industries. “We’ve been hearing from our customers – folks in automotive, heavy equipment, and general manufacturing – that they need more flexibility and reach with their robots,” explains a representative from BEHR PROCESS LLC. “Often, getting into tight spaces or reaching around complex parts is a real headache. That’s exactly what we aimed to solve with the Blade Arm Set.” What is the Blade Arm Set? Essentially, the Blade Arm Set is a completely redesigned arm assembly for many popular robot models. It’s not just a cosmetic change; it’s a ground-up reimagining of how a robot arm can move and operate. The key? A thinner, more streamlined profile. “Think of it like this: standard robot arms are like big, muscular bicep-builders. They’re strong, but sometimes a little bulky. Our Blade Arm Set is like a lean, agile athlete – it’s still plenty strong, but it can fit into places the other guys can’t,” explains lead engineer, David Miller. The ‘blade’ refers to the uniquely shaped arm sections. They're meticulously engineered to reduce interference without sacrificing rigidity or payload capacity. This means robots equipped with the Blade Arm Set can reach around obstacles, weld in confined areas, and access difficult-to-reach joints with ease. Why is this a big deal? For years, robotic welding has been a game-changer for manufacturers. It boosts productivity, improves weld quality, and reduces labor costs. However, even the most advanced robots have limitations. Often, those limitations stem from their physical size and reach. “We kept seeing situations where customers had to redesign tooling, modify parts, or even change their entire manufacturing process just to accommodate the robot’s reach,” says Sarah Chen, BEHR PROCESS LLC’s Sales Manager. “That’s expensive and time-consuming. We wanted to eliminate that problem.” The Blade Arm Set directly addresses this issue. By providing increased reach and maneuverability, it allows manufacturers to: Weld more complex parts: The ability to reach around obstacles and into tight spaces opens up possibilities for welding more intricate designs and larger assemblies. Reduce tooling costs: With the Blade Arm Set, manufacturers can often avoid the need for custom tooling or complex workholding fixtures. Improve weld quality: Better access to weld joints means more consistent and reliable welds. Increase production efficiency: Faster access and reduced tooling changes translate to faster cycle times and higher throughput. Simplify programming: The improved range of motion makes it easier to program robot paths and optimize weld sequences. How does it work? The Blade Arm Set isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution. BEHR PROCESS LLC offers a range of configurations to suit different robot models and applications. The key features include: Optimized Geometry: The unique blade-shaped arm sections minimize interference while maintaining structural integrity. High-Strength Materials: The arm set is constructed from durable, high-strength materials to withstand the demands of industrial welding. Modular Design: The modular design allows for easy installation and maintenance. You can even swap out arm sections to customize the reach and configuration. Compatibility: The Blade Arm Set is designed to be compatible with a wide range of robotic welding systems, including those from major manufacturers. (Contact BEHR PROCESS LLC for specific compatibility information.) Drop-in Replacement: In most cases, the Blade Arm Set can be installed as a direct replacement for the existing arm assembly, minimizing downtime and installation costs. Beyond the Specs: Real-World Applications BEHR PROCESS LLC has been working closely with several beta test customers to refine the Blade Arm Set and validate its performance. The results have been impressive. One automotive manufacturer was struggling to weld a complex chassis component due to limited robot access. After installing the Blade Arm Set, they were able to eliminate a costly manual welding operation and reduce cycle time by 15%. A heavy equipment manufacturer was using multiple robots to weld a large, bulky frame. With the Blade Arm Set, they were able to consolidate the welding process onto a single robot, saving space and reducing programming complexity. “We're really excited about the potential of the Blade Arm Set to transform the way our customers approach robotic welding,” says Chen. “It’s not just about adding a few extra inches of reach. It’s about unlocking new possibilities and making robotic welding more accessible and efficient for everyone.” Availability & Contact Information The Blade Arm Set is available for order now.
