Question 1

What is Quant Robotics?

Accepted Answer

Quant Robotics is a Kazakhstan-based industrial robotics integrator developing robotic assembly and welding systems for structural steel. Its project experience includes an operating QUANT STEELFAB installation in Mangalore, India, and an in-house QUANT STEELFAB 360 R&D demonstrator in Kazakhstan.

Question 2

What is the difference between QUANT STEELFAB and QUANT STEELFAB 360?

Accepted Answer

Both models use the same assembly, welding, and software workflow. QUANT STEELFAB uses operator-guided, crane-assisted beam repositioning. In QUANT STEELFAB 360, the operator selects Next setup and the integrated rotator turns the beam. Loading, unloading, and site handling remain part of the process.

Question 3

How is a beam job prepared from Tekla?

Accepted Answer

An engineer selects the beam in Tekla and prepares the job through the Quant plugin. The software simulates the job and shows the component count and estimated assembly and welding time. Supported versions and export requirements are specified during project engineering.

Question 4

What does Scanner measure?

Accepted Answer

Scanner measures the actual beam position and dimensions and matches them to the nominal model. At the start of a job, it scans the parts tables once and checks required component outlines and thicknesses. Missing required parts or matching outlines with the wrong thickness prompt an operator notification; unrelated parts are ignored.

Question 5

Does the operator manually correct the assembly coordinates?

Accepted Answer

No. The software calculates the coordinate transformation from measured geometry. The operator reviews the color-coded match and selects Continue to release the coordinates. The colors indicate the degree of match, not universal pass/fail limits. A supervisor or engineer reviews questionable placement.

Question 6

Does Scanner continuously track the weld during welding?

Accepted Answer

No. Scanner is used for beam measurement and parts checks for assembly. TouchSense locates the weld before the welding pass on both models. The current configuration does not continuously track the seam during welding or correct the weld path from a laser scan.

Question 7

What beam size and mass can the systems handle?

Accepted Answer

Both systems support standard beam lengths of 3,000–12,000 mm, widths of 160–650 mm, heights of 160–400 mm, and a maximum beam mass of 6 tonnes. An option for lengths up to 14,000 mm uses longer tracks. The 32 kg and 115 kg magnet ratings are separate vertical-lifting limits for individual components, subject to tool and contact conditions.

Question 8

Can the cell configuration be adapted to a project?

Accepted Answer

The configuration is defined during project engineering from representative beams, components, weld access, production mix, handling, and site constraints. Robot, scanner, welding-source, and other component specifications are confirmed for the agreed project configuration.
