XP1440-15W 15kg 6-Axis Industrial Welding Robot

The XARP XP1440-15W is a 6-axis industrial welding robot with a 15 kg rated payload, 1440 mm reach, and ±0.05 mm repeatability. It is designed for robotic MIG/MAG welding applications that require repeatable motion, flexible positioning, and sufficient payload capacity for the complete welding equipment mounted on the robot flange.

The 15 kg payload refers to the total rated load at the robot's end flange. The combined weight of the welding torch, torch mounting components, cable package, sensors, and other equipment installed on the robot's end axis must remain within the 15 kg rated payload.

XP1440-15W at a Glance

The XP1440-15W combines a 15 kg rated payload with a 1440 mm working radius for industrial robotic welding applications. Compared with the previous XP1440-10W, the increased payload provides additional capacity for welding equipment and end-of-arm components.

The robot is designed primarily for MIG/MAG gas-shielded welding and can be integrated with mainstream welding equipment, including Panasonic, Fronius, Megmeet, and Aotai, subject to the selected system configuration.

For manufacturers handling repetitive welding operations, the XP1440-15W can be integrated with welding power sources, positioners, fixtures, safety systems, and other peripheral equipment to build a complete robotic welding cell.

XP1440-15W Technical Specifications

XP1440-15W Dimensions and Working Envelope

The XP1440-15W has a 1440 mm working radius and a compact six-axis configuration designed for industrial welding cells.

The mechanical drawings below provide the key dimensions required for robot installation, system layout planning, and integration with welding fixtures and positioners.

Robot Dimensions and Mounting

The drawing provides the robot base dimensions, mounting-hole arrangement, flange dimensions, and overall mechanical envelope.

Robot Working Envelope

The working-envelope drawing can be used by system integrators to evaluate robot reach, fixture positioning, workpiece access, and installation space before building the welding cell.

For detailed installation planning, XARP can provide CAD files and technical drawings according to project requirements.

Why Choose a 15 kg Payload Welding Robot?

Robot payload is not limited to the welding torch itself. The rated payload of the XP1440-15W applies to the total load mounted at the robot's end flange.

This includes the combined weight of components such as:

• Welding torch
• Torch mounting bracket
• Cable package
• Wire-feeding related components
• Sensors or tracking equipment, when configured
• Other end-of-arm equipment

The total end-of-arm load must remain within the 15 kg rated payload.

Compared with a 10 kg welding robot such as the previous XP1440-10W, the 15 kg payload of the XP1440-15W provides additional payload margin for welding-system configurations that require heavier end-of-arm equipment.

For manufacturers selecting a welding robot, payload should therefore be evaluated together with the welding torch configuration, cable routing, sensor equipment, fixture design, workpiece size, and required welding access.

6-Axis Motion Range for Flexible Welding Access

The XP1440-15W uses a six-axis configuration to provide flexible torch positioning around the workpiece.

The axis ranges are:

• J1: ±170°
• J2: +95° to -130°
• J3: +90° to -85°
• J4: ±120°
• J5: +120° to -100°
• J6: ±250°

The maximum axis speeds reach 214°/s on J1 and J2, 211°/s on J3 and J4, 352°/s on J5, and 1999°/s on J6.

This multi-axis configuration allows the welding torch to approach joints from different orientations and supports welding applications where torch access and workpiece positioning are important.

MIG/MAG Welding Integration

The XP1440-15W is designed for robotic MIG/MAG gas-shielded welding.

The robot can be integrated with mainstream welding power sources according to the customer's required welding process and system configuration. XARP has experience integrating welding systems using brands such as:

• Panasonic
• Fronius
• Megmeet
• Aotai

The final welding configuration depends on the workpiece material, joint design, welding wire, shielding gas, welding parameters, torch configuration, and production requirements.

XARP can also configure the robot with related welding automation equipment such as welding positioners, fixtures, safety systems, and other peripherals.

Build a Complete Robotic Welding Cell

The XP1440-15W can be integrated into a complete robotic welding cell according to the customer's production requirements.

A typical system may include:

Control and Peripheral Equipment

XARP can provide related automation equipment and system integration support, including welding positioners, safety rooms, fixtures, and other peripheral components according to the project configuration.

This allows manufacturers and automation distributors to source the robot and supporting equipment from a single industrial automation supplier.

Real XP1440-15W Welding Application

Stainless Steel 2-Tier Dish Rack Welding

The XP1440-15W has been deployed in a furniture manufacturing application for repetitive welding of stainless steel products.

In this application, an XARP distributor installed the robot at the customer's production facility. The customer produces a variety of furniture and metal products in relatively high quantities and introduced robotic welding to reduce repetitive manual welding work.

One of the demonstrated workpieces is a stainless steel 2-tier dish rack with a self-draining tray.

The XP1440-15W performs programmed MIG/MAG welding movements while operators handle supporting production tasks such as workpiece preparation, fixture handling, loading and unloading, and inspection.

The application demonstrates how a 15 kg industrial welding robot can be used for repetitive stainless steel product welding in a real manufacturing environment.
