The introduction of new variations lets you reimagine your workflow and advances the platform to meet a wider range of operational requirements.\u201d<\/p><p>\n<b>Copilot\u2122 Builder\u2122 With FANUC CRX\u201130<\/b><\/p><p>\nCopilot Builder with FANUC CRX\u201130 is designed for customers looking to take on larger weldments, particularly those already using FANUC robotics and seeking equipment standardization across their operations. It\u2019s available in either air- or water-cooled versions, and it includes the same features as the Copilot Builder system with through-arc seam tracking built into the FANUC arm.<\/p><p>\nKey features and benefits include:<\/p><ul class=\"bwlistdisc\">\n<li>\n<b>Enhanced reach for larger weldments:<\/b> The CRX\u201130\u2019s 70\u2011inch reach unlocks the ability to weld larger assemblies that may be difficult or impractical with shorter\u2011reach arms.<\/li>\n<li>\n<b>Improved waypoint accuracy:<\/b> Miller AccuGuide\u2122 positioning control allows for higher precision when setting waypoints, a task that can be challenging when programming long\u2011arm welding applications.<\/li>\n<li>\n<b>Simplified programming:<\/b> Compared to native FANUC programming and many traditional robotic platforms, Copilot Builder offers a more straightforward, welder\u2011friendly programming experience.<\/li>\n<li>\n<b>Standardization advantages:<\/b> Ideal for customers already invested in FANUC robotics, the system supports equipment standardization, including aligned preventative maintenance schedules across robotic assets.<\/li>\n<\/ul><p>\n<b>Copilot\u2122 and Copilot\u2122 Builder With XR-AlumaPro CB Torch<\/b><\/p><p>\nCopilot with Aluminum is engineered to help manufacturers successfully automate aluminum welding applications, including those involving more challenging wire types. Available for both the Copilot and Copilot Builder, and in air- and water-cooled models, the system pairs specialized hardware with advanced software features to deliver consistent feeding and enhanced control over weld quality.<\/p><p>\nKey features and benefits include:<\/p><ul class=\"bwlistdisc\">\n<li>\n<b>Consistent aluminum wire feeding:<\/b> The push\u2011pull XR\u2011AlumaPro CB torch enables accurate and reliable feeding of aluminum wire, including 4XXX series wires, helping reduce feeding issues and improve process stability.<\/li>\n<li>\n<b>Advanced software control:<\/b> Miller software includes advanced features and waveforms, such as Accu-Pulse\u00ae with Profile Pulse\u2122 sequencing capabilities, providing greater control over welding parameters to help increase weld quality and consistency for aluminum applications.<\/li>\n<\/ul><p>\n<b>Extending the Copilot\u2122 Family<\/b><\/p><p>\nWith these new additions, Miller continues to evolve the Copilot platform to address a broader range of welding challenges while preserving the core attributes that define the Copilot experience. Whether tackling larger weldments, expanding into aluminum or configuring a more flexible automation system with Copilot Builder, manufacturers can now arrange a Copilot system tailored to their specific needs.<\/p><p>\nTo learn more about the Copilot family and explore how Miller continues to drive innovation in welding automation, visit <a  href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fmillerwelds.com%2Fproducts%2Fcopilot&amp;esheet=54550532&amp;newsitemid=20260610952925&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=millerwelds.com%2Fproducts%2Fcopilot&amp;index=2&amp;md5=a3250f28b3749803d954be9a0de28dbd\" rel=\"nofollow\" shape=\"rect\">millerwelds.com\/products\/copilot<\/a>.<\/p><p>\n<b>About Miller<\/b><\/p><p class=\"bwalignl\">\nMiller Electric Mfg.
