Overview
Industry: Metal fabrication / heavy machinery
Challenge: A fabricator welding frames and brackets by hand faced inconsistent weld quality, heavy grinding afterwards and a shortage of skilled welders.
Our Approach
- Two-station layout: the operator loads one fixture while the robot welds in the other
- Servo positioner coordinated with the robot to keep seams in a favourable position
- Touch sensing or laser seam tracking to handle variation in the incoming parts
- Weld data logged for quality records
Scope of Supply
- Arc-welding robot and power source
- Positioner and quick-change fixtures
- Fume extraction and safety guarding
- Programming and operator training
Typical Benefits
- More consistent weld appearance and penetration
- Less rework and grinding
- Skilled welders redeployed to programming and inspection
