Manual Guidance Tool for Robotic Teaching and Positioning
Overview
The FAIRINO Welding Handle is a manual guidance accessory designed to assist operators in positioning and teaching robotic welding paths. Mounted directly onto the robotic arm or near the welding end effector, it allows users to physically guide the robot into desired positions during setup and programming.
This tool is particularly useful in collaborative robotic environments, where ease of use and rapid teaching are essential for efficient deployment.
Functional Description
The welding handle provides a physical interface that enables the operator to move the robot arm manually in a controlled manner. When the robot is placed in a compliant or teaching mode, the operator can grasp the handle and guide the robot along the desired welding path.
The system records the positions and movements, which can then be used to generate or refine programmed welding trajectories.
In some configurations, the handle may include integrated control buttons that allow the operator to:
Enable or disable motion
Record positions
Adjust speed or sensitivity
This simplifies the programming process and reduces reliance on traditional coding methods.
Key Features
Manual Guidance Capability
Allows operators to physically guide the robot arm for intuitive path teaching and positioning.
Ergonomic Design
Designed for comfortable handling, enabling precise control during manual operation.
Improved Teaching Efficiency
Reduces programming time by allowing direct demonstration of motion paths.
Enhanced Control During Setup
Provides better control over positioning, especially in complex welding scenarios.
Integration with Robot Control System
Works in coordination with the robot’s teaching or drag mode for seamless operation.
Durable Construction
Built to withstand industrial environments and repeated use during setup processes.
Applications
The FAIRINO Welding Handle is commonly used in:
Robotic welding path teaching
Setup and calibration of welding operations
Adjustment of robot positioning in production

It is especially useful in environments where frequent changes to welding paths are required.
Performance Considerations
Performance depends on:
Robot compliance settings during manual guidance
Operator handling and precision
Calibration accuracy of the robotic system
Integration with control functions
Proper configuration of the robot’s teaching mode is essential for safe and effective operation.
System Integration
The welding handle can be integrated with:
Robot control systems supporting manual guidance modes
Teaching interfaces for recording motion paths
Control buttons or input devices for user interaction
Safety systems to ensure controlled movement
This enables a streamlined workflow for programming and adjusting robotic operations.
Advantages
