Performance Advantages

Long Reach for Oversized Workpieces

With a working range of up to 2010 mm, the AR2010 enables full weld coverage on large components without frequent repositioning. This significantly improves efficiency when welding long seams or wide structures, making it well-suited for heavy fabrication tasks.

Robust Structure for Heavy Welding

Its reinforced body design supports stable, round-the-clock operation in high-load conditions. When paired with powerful welding machines such as the YD500GS, the AR2010 handles thick-plate welding tasks that exceed the capacity of compact welding robots.

Reliable Accuracy on Large Weldments

Despite its extended reach, the AR2010 maintains a repeatability of 0.03 mm (ISO 9283). Yaskawa’s advanced motion control algorithms ensure smooth, continuous paths across large workpieces, reducing cumulative deviation and improving weld consistency.

Adaptable System Integration

The robot supports flexible mounting configurations, including inclined installation, allowing easy adaptation to complex workshop layouts. Multiple industrial communication protocols—such as Ethernet/IP and Profibus—enable smooth integration into automated welding lines and factory networks.

Typical Application Areas

The AR2010 is widely used in industries where large components and long weld seams are common, including:

• Heavy Equipment Manufacturing: Excavator arms, crane structures, machinery frames
• Shipbuilding: Hull panels, deck assemblies, marine components
• Aerospace Manufacturing: Wing structures, fuselage frames, engine supports
• Steel Fabrication: Bridges, industrial frameworks, rail infrastructure
