High-Precision Welding for Modern Manufacturing
Press welding is a robust, reliable solution for jobs that require high-strength welds in demanding environments. At Melton Machine & Control, our robotic press welders are designed to handle the toughest welding tasks with consistent precision.
Ideal for applications such as spot welding, heavy-duty manufacturing, and projection welding, our robotic press welder systems help improve production rates while maintaining the integrity of your weld process. With our customized solutions, we provide machines that can handle any project, no matter the complexity.
A Streamlined Welding Process for Critical Applications
Press welding is a method that uses both pressure and heat to create durable welds, often in complex assemblies where high-strength joints are required. In robotic press welding, automated systems take over the welding process, allowing for precision that’s difficult to achieve manually. Melton’s press welder systems are particularly important for industries that demand efficiency and consistency on a large scale, such as the automotive and industrial sectors.
Our press welders come equipped with a weld head, weld arms, and dual voltage capabilities, offering a flexible solution for a variety of tasks, from spot-welding applications to heavy-duty operations. The press type system ensures uniform application of pressure, which leads to superior results across all weld points. Automating press welders not only saves time but also minimizes error and downtime.
Key benefits of robotic press welders include:
- Consistent weld quality with minimal variance
- Higher throughput and reduced labor costs
- Enhanced precision in tight spaces
- Improved safety for operators
- Ideal for dual weld time and projection welding applications
A Step Ahead of the Rest: Our Welding Solutions
At Melton, we understand that no two projects are the same. Our Press and Edge welding machines are built with your specific needs in mind. Available in single-cell or double-cell configurations, these systems can be easily integrated with other equipment, such as component part weighing machines, to create a seamless workflow across your entire production line.
Melton offers automated press welders with the following features:
- Maximum press force per station is 20,000 lbs (at 80 psi)
- Two robot programming platforms
- Each machine side enclosure is equipped with an access door
- Two tip change windows (one per side), accessible at floor level, with wire advance buttons
- Fluorescent work lights with auxiliary disconnect
- Enclosed top section for smoke collection and removal cuff
- Reversible start/stop station, and an additional e-stop within the cell
- 3D design using AutoDesk Inventor
- Detailed components such as an upper electrode with different electrode gaps to fit each specific system.
