The sensor measures forces and torques at the torch in every direction, so operators can guide the robot by holding the torch itself and teach a welding path in minutes, with precise, smooth motion. Like VG1-0, it clamps the popular WP-series torches, lets you set the torch angle for each joint, and has two push buttons and status LEDs right at the tool. Designed and built by Robot3T in Vietnam and proven on our own VietCobot welding cells.<\/p>\n<a href=\"\/en\/contact\/\" class=\"button primary\" style=\"border-radius:99px;\">\n\t\t<span>Request a quote<\/span>\n\t<\/a>\n <a href=\"https:\/\/wa.me\/84974908615\" class=\"button primary is-outline\" style=\"border-radius:99px;\">\n\t\t<span>WhatsApp +84 974 908 615<\/span>\n\t<\/a>\n\n<h3 class=\"r3-spec-title\">Typical applications<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>High-mix, low-volume welding:<\/strong> teach a new part in minutes by guiding the torch by hand.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Stainless steel furniture and kitchen equipment:<\/strong> many short seams on frames, tables and racks.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sheet metal, brackets and tubes:<\/strong> fillet, lap and circumferential welds with a positioner.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Training and research:<\/strong> force-guided robot welding labs at universities and vocational schools.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 class=\"r3-spec-title\">Why VG1<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Teach by guiding the torch<\/strong> \u2013 the 6-axis F\/T sensor sits right behind the torch, so the robot follows your hand naturally and precisely.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Faster programming<\/strong> \u2013 record points with the two buttons on the tool; LEDs confirm each step.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Fits the torch you already use<\/strong> \u2013 WP9, WP17, WP18, WP20 and WP26; clamping head made to size from \u00d85 to 20 mm.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Adjustable orientation<\/strong> \u2013 set the torch angle to suit each joint and access direction.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Light and rigid<\/strong> \u2013 2 kg in anodized AL6061 aluminium, leaving payload for the torch and cable.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 class=\"r3-spec-title\">Specifications<\/h3>\n<div class=\"r3-spec\">\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Model<\/td>\n<td>VG1<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Sensor<\/td>\n<td>Integrated 6-axis force\/torque<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Compatible torches<\/td>\n<td>WP9, WP17, WP18, WP20, WP26<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Clamping head diameter<\/td>\n<td>\u00d85\u201320 mm (made to order)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Torch orientation<\/td>\n<td>Adjustable<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Controls on tool<\/td>\n<td>2 push buttons + LED indicators<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Material<\/td>\n<td>Aluminium AL6061, anodized<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Weight<\/td>\n<td>2 kg<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Origin<\/td>\n<td>Robot3T, Vietnam<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<h3 class=\"r3-spec-title\">VG1 or VG1-0?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"r3-cmp\">\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Feature<\/th>\n<th>VG1<\/th>\n<th>VG1-0<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>6-axis F\/T sensor for hand guiding<\/td>\n<td class=\"r3-cur\">Yes<\/td>\n<td>No<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Buttons and LEDs on tool<\/td>\n<td class=\"r3-cur\">Yes<\/td>\n<td>Yes<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Compatible torches<\/td>\n<td class=\"r3-cur\">WP9\u2013WP26<\/td>\n<td>WP9\u2013WP26<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Best for<\/td>\n<td class=\"r3-cur\">Frequent new parts, fast teaching<\/td>\n<td>Repeated parts, lower cost<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"r3-cmp-note\">Not sure which one you need?
