Robotic MIG Welding

In MIG welding, the robot moves the arc between wire and workpiece at constant speed and angle; every seam is identical.

MIG welding joins metals with the heat of the arc between the filler wire and the workpiece. Seam quality that varies with the operator when done by hand becomes repeatable with a robot: torch angle, travel speed and wire feed are the same on every part.

We design welding cells with two-station positioners; while the robot welds on one station the operator changes parts on the other. Camera-based seam tracking corrects deviations caused by part tolerances in real time.

Turntable Robotic Welding Cell

A 6-axis robot with a welding package welds the seam on a two-station positioner at constant speed and torch angle. While the robot welds, the operator clamps a new part on the station behind the arc-flash screen; the table turns and the cell keeps running without waiting.

stations (load / weld): 2
gas metal arc welding: MIG/MAG
