Welding Robot with Turntable
A large rotary turntable with two integrated 4’ x 8’ modular weld tables is used to robotically weld a variety of sheetmetal enclosures. An operator can load and unload parts while the robot welds behind the divider panels. After the welding is finished, the rotary turntable indexes 180° and the process is repeated. A complete line of interchangeable tooling components can be used on the tables.
Welding Robot with Dual Worktables
A pedestal mounted robot sits between two modular welding tables anchored to the floor. The fixturing on the near table is designed in such a way to elevate the workpiece above the table surface in order to weld out the part completely. The far table (behind the robot) has a fixture built with the parts resting directly on the table surface. Either case is acceptable as the tables are hardened to protect from spatter.
Welding Robot on Fixed Pedestal
A pair of robot arms on traveling pedestals moves up and down a 30’ section of modular tables to weld various frames. When the tables are bolted together end-to-end, the precision hole pattern is perfectly lined up over the entire 30’ length. When the robot is not being used, the tables can be used as stand-alone work cells for manual welding.
Welding Robot with Rotary Positioner
An integrated positioner with a modular fixturing baseplate attached to the face significantly improves the robot’s welding ability versus a flat, fixed table fixture. The modular plate has the same precision hole pattern as our tables allowing the welder to share tooling blocks and clamps between both the manual welding cells and the robot. Plates can be made any size and shape to fit any positioner application.
Welding Robot with Indexing Table
In a prototype lab, no two parts are ever alike however there is still a need to accurately position the loose pieces for robotic welding. Here, a 3-dimensional, octagonal fixturing table is mounted on a multi axis rotary index table. With a basic tooling kit on hand, a fixture can be built and ready to weld long before the robot is programmed and ready to strike its first arc.
