Welding was never so easy

The ABB GoFa excels in delivering unparalleled precision with every weld. Equipped with advanced sensors and motion control technology, it ensures accurate positioning, smooth movement, and optimal torch control. This robotic welding powerhouse effortlessly handles complex joint configurations, tight spaces, and challenging angles, enabling flawless welds even in the most demanding applications.

Built to work together with you

Unlike traditional industrial robots, the ABB GoFa is designed to work alongside human operators, fostering a collaborative work environment. With its advanced safety features, including force and speed limitations, the GoFa can operate in close proximity to human workers without compromising safety. This collaborative capability enables seamless integration into existing workflows, enhancing productivity and efficiency without the need for extensive safety barriers.

  • With the innovative Easy Teach Device, users no longer need hours of training to use the device, making it ideal for high mix, low volume tasks.
  • With GoFa’s unmatched position accuracy and superior lead-through programming, users are assured of high-quality welding, every time.

Anyone can be a welding pro

You don't need an experienced programmer to operate the GoFa. It has been designed for ease of use, making it accessible to anyone. From unboxing your robot to creating your first program, our eTutorial covers all the instructions and helpful tips you need to get your cobot up and running. With no prior coding skills, you can simply drag and drop graphical blocks in the app and create new robot programs with ease.

Boosting efficiency and productivity

GoFa offers a maximum Tool Center Point (TCP) speed of up to 2.2 m/s,* faster than other cobots in its class. GoFa is now available with a reach up to 1.62M, and is powered by OmniCore with best-in-class motion control. GoFa can perform more operations in a set period than competing robots. Its fast and precise welding capabilities reduce cycle time and maximise production output.

* Safe collaborative speed may be lower, depending on your application layout. Always do a safety risk assessment of your cobot application.

Boosting Local Manufacturing and Economy

GoFa isn't just changing how we weld—it's transforming local manufacturing and boosting the local economy. Businesses can increase productivity, overcome labour shortages, and operate more efficiently by automating welding processes. The GoFa accelerates production cycles, allowing manufacturers to meet growing demands promptly. Imagine the possibility of having a tireless welding companion that doesn't need constant monitoring.

The ABB GoFa represents a new era in welding, combining unmatched precision, collaborative power, and advanced safety features. Its ability to deliver precise welds, work alongside human operators, and prioritise safety makes it a game-changer in the manufacturing industry. By seamlessly integrating into existing workflows and promoting efficient collaboration, the GoFa drives productivity and efficiency to new heights. Embrace the future of welding with the ABB GoFa and unlock a world of precision, safety and increased manufacturing potential.
