Horizontal Welding Machines
Robotic Precision for High-Volume Welding
Automated welding technology eliminates inconsistencies, optimizes efficiency, and keeps production moving at full capacity. Melton Machine & Control Company’s horizontal welding machines are designed to handle high-volume, repetitive welding applications with unmatched accuracy and speed.
These robotic rotary welding machines provide fully automated, precise control over torch positioning, weld sequencing, and cycle timing, resulting in repeatable, high-quality welds without operator fatigue or manual variability.
With over 55 years of expertise in automation, Melton engineers every horizontal welding system for seamless integration into your existing production lines. Whether working with large, heavy components or intricate multi-part weld assemblies, our custom robotic welding machines are capable of any welding task your production line requires.

Customized for Control. Engineered for Efficiency.
Our horizontal welding machines use robotic torch control and customized fixturing to handle multiple welding tasks in a fixed, automated setup. Unlike manual or traditional automated methods, these machines are tailored to handle long, continuous welds across flat or angular components without repositioning.
Each machine includes programmable torch motion, automated material handling, and real-time quality monitoring. For single-axis control for straightforward welds, Melton delivers a fully integrated solution that enhances your production line while minimizing manual intervention.
The Advantages of Robotic Horizontal Welding
Automating your horizontal welding processes with a robotic rotary machine from Melton offers a range of benefits that directly impact production output and efficiency.
- Optimized Workflow: Automated operation reduces bottlenecks and streamlines production flow for consistent cycle times and minimal downtime.
- Precision Welding: Robotic torch positioning and real-time weld monitoring deliver exceptional accuracy to help operators reduce errors and material waste.
- Scalable for High-Volume Runs: Suited especially for mass production, horizontal welding machines efficiently handle repetitive tasks at maximum throughput.
- Enhanced Safety Measures: Integrated arc shielding, light curtains, and enclosed workspaces protect operators from hazardous conditions.
- Seamless System Integration: These machines are designed to work in tandem with robotic loading systems, material handling automation, and vision inspection technology.
