Fairino Ultra Lightweight Collaborative Manufacturing And Welding Robot (FR3(WML))
A welding torch has to reach around a pipe, follow a curved seam and stay steady, and the arm that carries it should not need a crane or a crew to move. The Fairino Ultra Lightweight Collaborative Manufacturing And Welding Robot (FR3(WML)) is built around that tension: a light arm that one person can handle, with a wrist that turns far enough to keep the torch on a difficult path.
The product is available through this page, by quotation.
Background
The company and the FR3 family
FAIRINO builds collaborative robots, often called cobots, for shops and factories that want automation without fencing off half the floor. Its range runs from small, light arms to larger models for heavier work. The FR3 line sits at the compact end and comes in three versions: the FR3, the FR3 (WML) and the FR3 (WMS). Each keeps the same basic idea of a small arm that works next to people, and the suffixes point to different jobs.
The FR3 (WML) is the version described here. It is an ultra-lightweight collaborative robot designed for high-precision welding and flexible manufacturing. That pairing matters. Welding is usually the job a small shop hesitates to automate, because a conventional welding cell asks for floor space, guarding and a programmer. A light cobot changes that calculation, since it can be carried to the job instead of the job being carried to it.
Positioning and key technology
Two features define this model. The first is its handling: the compact design allows easy single-person handling, so one operator can move the arm between workstations or set it up on a new fixture. The second is collision detection, which supports safe human-robot collaboration. If the arm meets an obstacle or a person, it can respond instead of pushing on.
The third feature gives the WML its welding character. The sixth axis rotates ±360°, which enables complex curved surface welding. When a torch must travel around a tube or follow a contoured part, a wrist with this much turning range lets the arm keep a good torch angle without stopping to reposition the workpiece. Pose repeatability is ±0.05 mm under ISO 9283, the kind of consistency a weld seam asks for.

What makes the FR3(WML) different from the standard FR3?
The FR3, the FR3 (WML) and the FR3 (WMS) belong to the same family, and the WML is the one built for welding. Its defining point is the sixth axis, which turns ±360° and enables complex curved surface welding. A wrist with that range lets the torch follow a wrap-around path without the arm running out of rotation partway through the seam.
The WML is also ultra-lightweight and easy for one person to handle, which suits a shop that wants to move the robot between jobs. For general-purpose collaborative work, the Fairino Cobot (FR3) is the version to compare. Where the job is mostly welding, the WML is the one to look at. The figures on this page belong to the WML only, and any figure for another version should be read from that version's own page.
How does the FR3(WML) compare with the FR3(WMS)?
Both carry a welding designation, and a buyer choosing between them should ask which one fits the work. The Fairino Lightweight Collaborative Production And Welding Robot (FR3(WMS)) has its own page and its own specification, and we do not carry its figures over to this model. If you tell us the parts you weld, the seam shapes and the cell layout, we can set the two side by side in the quotation and recommend the better fit for your process.
Who is the FR3(WML) for?
The first group is small and medium fabrication shops. Many of them weld by hand and struggle to find enough skilled welders. A light cobot that one person can set up allows a shop to automate repeat seams without building a dedicated cell, and the operator stays close to the work.
The second group is makers of parts with curved or round geometry, such as frames, tubes and fittings. The ±360° sixth-axis rotation is aimed squarely at that kind of seam. The third group is workshops that change products often. Because the arm is light and easy to handle, it can move from one fixture to another as orders change.
Training centers and technical schools are a fourth group. A quiet arm, with noise below 65 dB, and built-in collision detection make a good teaching platform for welding automation and human-robot collaboration. Buyers who need a general-purpose cobot for handling or assembly rather than welding may prefer the Fairino Cobot (FR3). You can browse the wider range under Welding Robots and Cobots.
What is the FR3(WML) used for?
- Curved surface welding. The ±360° sixth-axis rotation lets the torch follow contoured and wrap-around seams.
- High-precision welding. Pose repeatability of ±0.05 mm under ISO 9283 supports consistent seam placement from part to part.
- Flexible manufacturing. The light arm can be moved and set up for a new task without a heavy installation.
- Shared workspaces. Collision detection supports collaboration between the robot and the operator at the same station.
- Single-operator stations. One person can handle the arm, which suits small teams and short production runs.
- Training and demonstration. Low noise and collaborative safety features make it practical for teaching automation in a workshop or classroom.

Frequently Asked Questions
How heavy is the FR3(WML)?
The weight is approximately 11.25 kg. The compact design allows one person to handle the arm.
How precise is it?
Pose repeatability is ±0.05 mm, measured per ISO 9283.
How far does the last joint turn?
The sixth axis, which is the Wrist 3 joint, has a working range of ±360°. This supports welding on complex curved surfaces.
Is it safe to work beside?
The robot features collision detection for safe human-robot collaboration. Your own risk assessment of the finished cell is still needed.
How loud is it?
Noise is below 65 dB.
Which welding processes and certifications does it support?
Tell us the welding process you use and the certifications you need, and we will answer both in your quotation.
Where can I buy the FR3(WML) and what does it cost?
You can buy it through this page by requesting a quotation. We do not list prices here; the offer is prepared for your application, with delivery, customs and support arranged alongside it.
Summary
Welding asks for reach, steadiness and a torch that can turn where the seam turns, and a light arm usually gives up some of that. The FR3(WML) keeps the turning range with a ±360° sixth axis and holds ±0.05 mm pose repeatability, while staying light enough at about 11.25 kg for one person to handle. Collision detection and low noise make it comfortable to share a workspace with. When you are ready to take the next step, this page is the starting point.
