Arc welding is the core of our company. Over the years we have developed more application-specific robots than any other company. Our welding process knowledge and path control has led the industry for the last 20 years.

With our comprehensive line of arc welding robots, integrated power sources, torch tips and peripherals, and our extensive family of fully integrated ArcWorld® and FabWorld® solutions, we provide reliable, low-risk building block solutions that deliver enhanced quality, productivity and ROI.

Welding Basics

Seam finding is critical for a successful automated welding operation. Variation in parts and loosely fixtured parts need to be precisely located to ensure an optimal weld seam. We have several options available for seam finding, including Touch Sense, AccuFast Laser Sensor (non-contact) and laser cameras (non-contact).

Seam tracking is necessary when the robot must follow a complex path as it applies the weld. This allows the automated welding system to weld parts faster while maintaining consistent, high-quality welds.

Coordinated Motion and Adaptive Controls

We were the first robot company to develop coordinated motion of multiple robots from one controller. Coordinated motion enables multiple robots to work within the same space without the risk of interference of one robot with the other. With this feature our robots can manipulate larger parts using two robots. Coordinated motion also extends to external servo axes in our positioners, simplifying complex welding operations.

We continue to refine our software capabilities around coordinated motion maintaining our #1 position in the industry. Our systems are the easiest to program and deliver the best application flexibility. For example, by combining material handling robots with arc welding robots we can provide "jigless" processing. Resulting in more flexibility and reduced tooling costs.

Multiple Robot Control and Coordinated Motion

Complex Part Welding

We understand complex part welding, from exhaust systems and ATV systems to vehicle frames. We employ more welding professionals than any other robot company. We have the expertise to help you navigate a project on the front end through delivery and support your production needs over the years.

Heavy Deposition Welding

We offer a vast array of robotic welding solutions for manufacturers of large weldments. Our extensive line of welding robots, robot transporters, part positioners and welding options are well suited for production of mining, rail, agriculture and construction equipment. We provide customized, low-risk configurations that deliver enhanced quality, productivity and ROI.

Customizations and Modifications

Projects often require modifications to our standard product offering of robots, positioners, platforms and peripherals. We offer an extensive array of customizations that ensure you get the system you need and start producing parts faster. Customizations and modifications include:

Trunnion positioners with custom pin-to-pin length and tool diameter
Custom cell (or ArcWorld) layouts
Modified positioners in a standard cell (or ArcWorld)
Additional robots in a standard cell
Additional positioning devices in a standard cell
Work stations added to a standard cell
Material handling robots added to a standard cell
Floor tracks added to a standard cell
Specialized welding equipment and configurations such as Tandem Wire (or Twin Wire), MIG, TIG and plasma welding
Specialized cutting equipment such as plasma cutters
MotoRail added to a standard cell
MotoSweep added to a standard cell

Work Holding and Positioners

We offer an extensive line of standard robotic positioners for work holding. Our patented MotoMount system makes installation easier, improves operation, reduces bearing stress and extends the life of the positioner. All of our positioners can be customized to meet the needs of your application.

Robotic Positioners for Welding Applications

Robot Transporters

We also offer transporters for light and heavy payload robots. The MotoSweep is a rotational robotic transporter and the MotoRail is a linear robotic transporter.

Welding Power Sources & Peripherals

We provide high level digital interfaces to the widest range of power source brands including Fronius, Miller, Lincoln Electric and OTC. With our digital interface the power source weld parameters can monitored and adjusted directly from our programming pendant.
