Your Gateway to Intelligent Automation
At Melton Machine & Control Company, we don’t believe in backing down from a challenge. We have the expertise to make the impossible possible with a tailored automated system that accounts for your unique goals, constraints, and return on investment (ROI) targets. We have the distinction of installing more than 1,000 successful applications without ever failing to meet customer expectations.
For more than 55 years, we’ve prioritized our clients’ experience and helped them achieve operational excellence through automation. With unmatched dedication, integrity, and automation expertise, our team will work tirelessly to design and integrate an automated solution that is safe, reliable, and effective.
Automation Made Accessible: Custom Solutions Tailored to You
Need greater flexibility on the production line? Want to simplify repetitive processes? Melton can develop a solution to meet any need.
As an integral partner in automation, our solutions have helped countless companies across diverse industries optimize their production line and welding processes. Automating specific systems and tasks can help you save on labor, protect employees, and achieve consistent, faster timelines across the board.
Our automation solutions include:
Robotic Welding Systems
From robotic welding cells to automated fixed welding machines, robotic welding systems can transform your welding processes. Melton provides the design and integration of highly specialized robotic automation systems, either single-station or two-station, for an array of welding applications.
Robotic Quality Control
Quality control is one of the most important steps of your manufacturing process. With an automated quality control system from Melton, you eliminate human error from your quality control checks and inspect, test, or measure your products with greater speed and accuracy.
Material Handling Automation
In the past, manual labor has been the only way to handle the loading and unloading of weld cells or any manufacturing cell. Now, we can provide robotic devices that automate material handling for higher throughput rates while still maintaining all required safety standards.
Cobot Solutions
We’ve specialized in collaborative robots for more than 8 years. As long-standing innovators in this sector, we regularly design outside-the-box cobot systems that overcome the limitations of more traditional cobot machines and streamline processes on your production line. We design/build customized tooling to make your process more accurate and precise.
Robotic Assembly Systems
Perfected for high-demand, wide-scale production, robotic assembly systems, or automated assembly systems, offer the most efficient solutions for your entire assembly line. Our automated assembly solutions can be tailored to any assembly application from large-scale systems to microscopic components.
Robotic Laser Systems
Also called robotic laser stations, robotic laser systems, are becoming increasingly popular for production lines that work with small components, higher speed welding, large production runs of welding or very precise placement of welds onto a part. Melton will design and integrate an automated laser for precise welds, laser cutting systems, or laser engraving systems to put 2-D bar codes onto your most compact products and materials.
Contract/Build to Print
While our entire process is a collaboration between our automation experts and your team, our build-to-print solutions offer greater control and involvement on your end. Send us your mechanical drawings, bill of materials, and even complete control programming, and our engineers and machine building experts will handle the custom development and integration of your machine.
Manual Welding Machines
A manual welding cell can add value to your welding processes. At Melton, we customize cells, from the size and configuration to the included welding equipment. From a simple cell to a complex configuration that includes operator work instructions, we produce a manual welding machine that integrates perfectly with your existing system.
Beyond the Machine: System Integration
Cutting-edge technology is only as good as its integration. Our dedicated team of engineers integrates more than 200 robots every year for companies in vastly different industries across the country.
Whether a customer has worked with us for a custom robotic system or a turnkey automated system, or we’re starting with a customer-supplied robot, we handle every aspect of integration, from programming the machine at our plant in Washington, MO, to managing the initial startup on your plant floor.
