CrashBox /i
General
CrashBox /i PAP fitted to robot arm
The CrashBox /i is a protection device for the torch body, the drive unit, the wire
brake and the torch body coupling. In the event of a collision, the CrashBox
sends a signal to the robot control, which stops the robot immediately. The torch
holder on the CrashBox protects the welding torch and the system components
fitted from damage should a collision occur.
The clamp system is used for holding gas-cooled and water-cooled robot welding
torches. With torch body curvatures of 22°, 36° and 45°, the clamp system positi-
ons the welding torch in such a way that the TCP is in the 6th axis or at a 45° ang-
le to the 6th axis, depending on the torque angle gauge.
A robot-specific, isolated robot flange is required for fitting the CrashBox /i.

Device concept
The CrashBox /i is designed specifically for fitting to the robot arm and for hol-
ding gas-cooled and water-cooled robot hosepacks and robot drive units. For
PAP systems, the torch hosepack runs through the CrashBox and then through
