Automated Welding Applications
Automation For Welding and Fabrication
If you’re regularly using welding in your manufacturing process, you know the quality of a weld is non-negotiable. That weld needs to ensure the strength, safety, and longevity of your products. However, manually producing consistent, high-quality welds presents a significant challenge for modern manufacturers. Not only is it becoming increasingly difficult to find skilled welders, but repetitive welding tasks can lead to operator fatigue, which in turn results in inconsistent quality and potential hazards. You know automation is a potential solution for this, but finding the right automation integrator can be a challenge on its own. We can help with that.
At Cross, we specialize in integrated automated welding solutions that are able to fully address the manufacturing challenges your operation is facing. By integrating robotics, automation equipment, and other welding technology into your production process, we can help you achieve reproducible, high-quality welds, even on small batch sizes. This allows you to reallocate your skilled welders from monotonous, repetitive tasks to more complex, higher-value work where their expertise is truly needed while also improving your facility’s safety, throughput, and weld quality.
Automated Welding Solutions for Your Application
Integrated automation for welding is critical to meet the demand for fast, high-quality, and precise welds. Our automated welding systems are able to meet these standards, providing consistent welds that manual processes often can’t reliably match. With advanced features like torque sensors in axes or custom sub-assemblies based on application, integrated welding automation delivers precision on every pass.
The welding solutions provided by Cross offer versatility and flexibility, making them economical solutions even for small batch sizes. We’re also able to configure automated welding systems to the design of your own facility, meaning you may not have to redesign your whole line. From compact footprints to full stations, these systems can be integrated into a wide range of production lines, offering automation benefits to operations of all sizes.
The QINEO ArcBoT from CLOOS offers an easy entry into the world of automated welding. This system combines a high-tech MIG/MAG welding power source with a precise, user-friendly collaborative robot. Perfect for welding even small batch sizes economically, the ArcBoT delivers reproducible, high-quality results while freeing your employees from monotonous tasks.
