A Machine Tailor-Made for Your Business
Rotary welding is part of what we refer to as dedicated welding systems. The torch is usually fixed or designed to oscillate to fill a larger area with weld beads. There are multiple versions of rotaries, depending on floor space available and on weld constraints like using gravity to assist the weld.
The key benefits of a dedicated system like a rotary station are that they usually have higher throughput than a robot cell, usually have a lower installed cost, and are easier to maintain at facilities where high-tech set-up mechanics are in short supply.
Ease of set-up, ease of operations, and ease of maintenance all add up to a viable solution for welding the same part in quantity.
Types of Automated Rotary Welding Machines
Rotary welding machines are essential production systems for various industries, from manufacturing to construction. To ensure optimal performance and efficiency, it's crucial to select the right type of welding machine for your specific application.
At Melton, we can help you find an automated welding solution for your needs, including a customized version of one of the following rotary machines:
Horizontal Welding Machines
Horizontal welding machines are designed to weld parts in a horizontal position, promoting efficient welding of multiple parts simultaneously, particularly large and heavy components. Key features include:
- Single-axis control: For precise movement of the welding torch.
- Cam-controlled torch motion: Ensures consistent weld quality.
- Flexible axis configurations: Adaptable to various welding tasks.
- One-piece fixture frame: Provides stability and rigidity.
Incline Welding Machines
Incline welding machines utilize gravity to assist in the welding process. This is particularly beneficial for welding parts of different thicknesses. Key features include:
- 360-degree weld angle: Offers flexibility and precision.
- Expanded working space: Accommodates various workpiece sizes.
- LED lighting: Improves visibility.
- Modular fixture frame: Customizable for different applications.
Vertical Welding Machines
Vertical welding machines are ideal for welding parts in an upright position, saving valuable floor space. They are particularly suited for welding tall or narrow components. Key features include:
- Modular fixture frame: Adaptable to various workpiece configurations.
- Flexible spindle face plate: Accommodates different workpiece sizes and shapes.
- Safety features: Arc curtains, area scanners, and safety light curtains.
- Advanced features: Torch oscillation, barcode scanners, and vision systems.
Linear Welding Machines
Linear welding machines are used for long, continuous welds on flat or angular components. The welding torch moves in a straight line, ensuring consistent weld quality. Key features include:
- Precise linear motion: For accurate and repeatable welds.
- High-speed welding: Increases productivity.
- Reduced operator fatigue: Minimizes physical strain.
Press Welders
Press welders use pressure and heat to join metal parts. They are ideal for high-strength welds and are commonly used in the automotive and aerospace industries. Key features include:
- High-pressure capability: Ensures strong and durable welds.
- Precise control: Accurate control of pressure and heat.
- Versatile applications: Suitable for a wide range of materials and thicknesses.
- Reduced cycle times: Efficient welding process.
