Robotic Welding Solutions Backed By Experience & Innovation
Robotic welding is the clear answer for production lines that aren’t hitting output goals due to limitations in the manual welding process. Whether you’re battling labor shortages or want to decrease safety risks for operators during complex tasks, robotic welding cells from Melton Machine & Control Company provide an efficient solution.
There is no limit to the number or scope of different parts you can weld with a custom robotic welding cell. Get a one-of-a-kind robot to address even your most intensive welding needs.
How Do Robotic Welding Systems Work?
Robotic welding systems use robotic arms equipped with welding torches to precisely execute welds, following programmed instructions. These systems enhance productivity, consistency, and safety in manufacturing processes.
At Melton, every project we work on is centered around one thing: your unique needs. Like all our automated solutions, our robotic cells can be tailored to whatever automated welding tasks you need to be optimized.
A robotic welding cell from Melton can use custom tooling to precisely position your part, whether it is manually loaded into the fixture or you use automated material handling to automatically load. After welding, your part can be manually unloaded or it can be equipped with a fixture-mounted eject mechanism.
Once the assembly is unclamped it could be automatically transferred from the fixture tooling to a staging area. This would allow the operator to load the parts for the next weld cycle without having to first remove the previously welded assembly.
With a Melton robotic welding robot, the possibilities are nearly endless. Learn more about options for your robotic cells by contacting our knowledgeable team today.
Specialized RoboCell Solutions
Melton has the expertise to provide a wide range of robotic solutions for your welding processes, including:
MIG Welding Robots
MIG welding cells, or metal inert gas welding cells, offer greater control and maneuverability for precise, sensitive welds. Our detailed design-build approach and integration will result in a RoboCell that revolutionizes your MIG welding tasks.
TIG Welding Robots
When working with thin metals, a tungsten inert gas RoboCell, or TIG welding robot, will provide more control than manual alternatives. When you get a custom TIG welding cell from Melton, you can increase your productivity around TIG welding processes.
General Options on Robotic Machines
While customization is at the core of what we do, we also equip all our robotic cells with some critical, standard components to ensure optimal operation. Our included features for welding cells include:
- Safety features, such as arc shield curtains, area scanners, safety light curtains, robot-defined safe zones
- Torch oscillation (known as weave) is available for a wider weld for multiple-layer parts
- Barcode scanner
- Vision systems
- Adaptive torch gauging
Continuous and On-Site Support for Robot Success
One of the biggest issues our customers encounter that keeps them from pursuing automated and robotic machines is finding and retaining a qualified, in-house robot technician to maintain the robot cell. At Melton, we go beyond simple product delivery and help your team throughout the entire process of owning and operating a robotic cell with continuous services such as integration assistance, training programs, and maintenance support.
Does your problem require a hands-on solution? We’ll even send our robot experts directly to your facility to tackle the issue side-by-side with your team.
Say Goodbye to Manual Limitations with Melton
We get it. Turning your production line into an automation process can seem overwhelming. But trust us – we’ve been building robotic cells for welding for more than 55 years and can help you reach a productive solution without disrupting your production.
Robotic welding has many advantages over dedicated welding systems, including:
- Greater flexibility in welding different parts in the same fixture
- Ease of adapting the weld path to new parts
- Setting up safe areas in the machine while the robot is still in motion
With our unparalleled experience and dedication to a customized solution, you can have peace of mind that the robot we deliver will work for you because it was made for you. Schedule your free assessment with our team today to get started.
