Automated Welding Solutions Designed for Precision and Speed
Joining materials with accuracy and strength is one of the most important steps in your production process. Melton Machine & Control Company builds robotic laser welding systems to support this critical task.
We offer a custom automated system that delivers fast, repeatable, high-quality welds—all while reducing manual labor demands and minimizing variability. With more than five decades of automation experience, Melton develops laser welding solutions engineered to meet the exact needs of your operation.
Whether you’re working with small, delicate assemblies or large-scale production, our systems provide the performance, flexibility, and reliability your welding applications require.
The Power of Automated Laser Welding
Laser welding uses a highly focused beam of light to create strong, precise welds with minimal heat input and distortion. When paired with robotics, this technology becomes a flexible solution for a wide range of joining applications. Each laser welding robot offers clean welds and efficient cycle times without compromising quality.
Melton’s robotic laser welding systems are built for integration. Our solutions are designed to work with your parts, your processes, and your production goals—delivering the consistency you need to keep your operation running smoothly.
Robotic Laser Welding for Your Production Line: Benefits & Value
Welding is a critical step in assembly. But when you have a manual welding process, you can introduce bottlenecks, defects, and safety concerns. Laser welding automation provides a smarter way forward, helping your operation produce stronger welds at higher speeds.
Here’s how Melton’s robotic laser welding systems add value:
- Cleaner Welds, Less Distortion: Focused heat application from the laser beam creates strong joints with minimal thermal impact, reducing warping and post-weld processing.
- Repeatable Quality: Robotic control maintains consistent weld paths, parameters, and penetration across every part.
- Speed and Efficiency: Laser welding operates faster than traditional welding methods to allow for higher throughput and reduced cycle times.
- Labor Optimization: Offload repetitive welding tasks to robotic systems and reallocate your skilled workforce to higher-level roles.
- Compact Integration: Melton designs space-efficient systems that fit within your available footprint and work in harmony with your existing equipment.
Every Melton solution is purpose-built, so you get a welding system tailored to the demands of your production floor.
Custom Features for Flexible Welding Automation
No two welding applications are the same. That’s why Melton develops robotic laser welding systems with features and configurations designed around your parts and processes.
System capabilities may include:
- Multi-axis robotic arms for precise positioning and weld path control
- Fiber laser or CO₂ laser options based on material type and thickness
- Integrated material handling systems for part loading and unloading
- Weld monitoring tools for real-time process control and quality assurance
- Quick-change fixtures for easy adaptation between part sizes and geometries
Whether you’re welding thin metals, complex assemblies, or large components, we’ll help you build the right system for your needs.
