A Compact Robotic Welding Solution
Melton Machine & Control Company designs robotic vertical welding machines to maximize efficiency while conserving valuable floor space. These automated systems provide the accuracy, repeatability, and control required for high-volume welding applications, ensuring each weld meets your strict quality standards.
Melton boasts more than 55 years of automation experience, which our engineers put to work for your production line, delivering robotic welding solutions that take your welding capabilities to new heights.
A Vertical Approach to High-Performance Welding
Unlike traditional horizontal or incline welding configurations, vertical welding machines secure parts in an upright position, allowing for improved weld control and accessibility. This positioning helps reduce material distortion, improves weld integrity, and enhances penetration consistency.
By incorporating robotic motion, precise torch control, and real-time monitoring, Melton’s vertical welding machines provide a fully automated solution for high-precision welding tasks. Whether working with tall components, multi-part assemblies, or complex geometries, our systems deliver uniform, high-quality welds across every cycle.
Robotic Vertical Welding: The Benefits of Automating
Upgrading your vertical welding machine to a robotic system provides key benefits for your production line, including:
- Optimized Weld Integrity: The vertical configuration minimizes warping and distortion, creating stronger, more uniform welds.
- Space-Saving Design: Vertical welding machines maximize floor space so they’re ideal for facilities with limited room for additional equipment.
- Consistent, Repeatable Quality: Robotic control ensures precision across every weld, eliminating inconsistencies associated with manual welding.
- Streamlined Production: Automated welding processes maintain continuous operation, improving cycle times and reducing downtime.
- Workplace Safety Enhancements: Fully enclosed workspaces and arc shielding reduce exposure to hazardous welding environments.
- Addressing Skilled Labor Shortages: Automation reduces dependence on manual welders so operators can oversee multiple processes simultaneously and your skilled welders can focus on more high-value welding tasks.
Melton’s vertical welding machines provide a robust and reliable solution that keeps your production running at peak efficiency without compromising quality.
A Machine That Works for You Because it Was Made for You
Every production line has different requirements, which is why Melton’s robotic vertical welding machines are fully customizable to meet your specific needs. Our systems can include:
- Modular Fixture Frame: Adaptable to various workpiece configurations for proper positioning for optimal weld penetration.
- Flexible Spindle Face Plate: Accommodates different part sizes and shapes, allowing for greater versatility in production.
- Advanced Safety Features: Includes arc curtains, light curtains, and area scanners to keep operators protected.
- Torch Oscillation & Positioning Controls: Enhances welding accuracy for complex joints and varied material thicknesses.
- Integrated Vision Systems: Enables real-time quality monitoring to detect inconsistencies and improve overall weld precision.
No matter your industry or production application, our automation experts will work closely with your team to develop a tailored robotic welding solution that seamlessly integrates into your existing environment.
