Robots for the Real World
Industry trends and customer demands are ever-evolving. If you want to keep up, your production line also must grow and change. With the welder workforce shrinking and new welders not coming online quickly enough to help most of our customers, a new mindset is taking hold in this industry – robotic welding stations. Introducing precision robotics to your production line can help propel you to the front of the pack, improving accuracy and efficiency.
The path to robotic automation can be bumpy if you aren’t familiar with the necessary systems or integration requirements. Melton Machine & Control Company is your guide, paving the way to a future of fully integrated custom robotic welding systems that work for you because they were made for you.
Robotic Welding Cells
Robotic welding cells have become a mainstay in welding automation. Whether you want to increase production rates without adding resources, decrease risks to your skilled welders during dangerous tasks, or require high-precision welding with no room for human error, these innovative machines can transform the flow of your production line. For decades, Melton has specialized in the development and integration of custom robotic welders, including:
MIG Welding Robots (RoboCell)
Metal Inert Gas Welding Robots provide precise control over and maneuverability over highly sensitive MIG welds. Melton will facilitate the development and seamless integration of an automated MIG welding system for your unique application.
Robotic Welding with AI
Production welding on raw materials with varying tolerances can be challenging for robots. Melton can provide solutions to finding the proper weld path for many applications. These applications can be high deposition, welds, finding the weld path because of weld heat growth or finding the proper place to start welding in a trough of multiple passes.
TIG Welding Robots
Seeking greater control and stability for complex welds for thin metals? Tungsten Inert Gas Welding Robots developed and integrated by Melton are a go-to choice for diverse robotic welding process applications. Gas tungsten arc welding can help offset labor costs and concerns about skilled labor shortages.
Robotic Welding With Pressure Clamping
Using high pressure to forge a joint between two metal sheets, our robotic press welder systems create stronger joints consistently and quickly every time. Common applications include the automotive industry and other similar manufacturing markets. Designed for efficiency, our press welders minimize production time while maximizing joint strength, making them ideal for high-volume manufacturing environments.
Automated Fixed Welding Machines
Also known as stationary automatic welders, automated fixed welding systems perform a very specific, often repetitive weld, usually at weld speeds and part process speeds greater than possible with a robot. High-volume parts manufacturers can use this technology, especially if there are only a few variations of parts.
Ideal for simpler welding paths that need to be completed accurately and consistently in a timely manner, fixed automatic welders are often more cost-effective than robotic welding cells and can help increase product rates exponentially when integrated efficiently.
With our in-depth knowledge of these machines, we can help you reach a custom machine solution that delivers consistent quality without taking up too much space on your plant floor. Our fixed automated welding systems include:
- Rotary Welding Machines
- Horizontal Welding Machines
- Incline Welding Machines
- Vertical Welding Machines
- Linear Welding Machines
Your Business is Unique. Your Welding Automation Should Be Too.
No matter the type of robotic welding system, when you work with Melton, you can guarantee that it will work for you and your specific application. Every solution we offer is tailored to each client’s individual goals and needs.
