Mincon – Perth Australia

Robotic Innovations Australia (RIA) is open for business and based in Perth. One of our very first jobs was the revival of an old Fanuc ARCMate 100iC 6L robotic welding system, previously supplied by us, that found its way into the impressive manufacturing facility of Mincon in Perth.

“Mincon Group plc is a global engineering business specializing in the design, development, manufacture and service of rock drilling tools for a variety of applications.”

Mincon also has three Fanuc R2000 165F handling robots, that are used to load and unload three of their CNC machines.

The welding robot has been functional during its time in Australia, but a factory re-shuffle meant a new system setup was required.

Fanuc has been very well represented by Jacob Industrial Electronic Service (JIES) within WA for many years. Robotic welding procedures and welding consumable requirements was however missing from their long list of expertise. So we joined forces to make not only robotic welding, but also robotic welding training available to the WA market place.

This type of training and support was previously only available by sending personnel to, or getting a technician from the East Coast at great expense.

A Mincon technician was trained and was able to write his own programs within 3 days, resulting in their back-log being out the door in a matter of hours with exceptional welding results.
