Large and complex metal products in construction and heavy industries are fabricated partially by semi-automatic welding machines and largely by expert welders, a highly labor intensive task.
Robots repeatedly perform welding operations efficiently and accurately with a consistent level of quality. They relieve welders of the drudgery and difficulties associated with repetitive, unhealthy, dangerous, complex, and difficult tasks.
Welding automation is more commonly implemented in simple and repetitive fabrication, while in one-off and small batch production it barely exists. While industrial robots’ ability to perform complex tasks has matured, robots must be programmed in order to act. Robot programming is complex and time consuming, making it too costly for complex one-off and small batch fabrication.

At the end of a production line for aligning and cutting aluminium plates, subsequent automatic stacking is required. The speciality of the production lies in the wide range of formats and the versatile, virtually simultaneous switch between the various dimensions of the batches. The dimensions range from 1 x 1 m to 3.15 x 15 m (plate thickness 2 ? 15 mm) and all the intermediate formats. The system is designed for a capacity of 5 strokes per minute in normal operation or 10 strokes per minute in alternating operation. The maximum vertical stroke is 900 mm, the horizontal travel from the removal position to the stacking station is 3500 mm. Read more ...

A manually operated manufacturing line for insulated sheet metal panels has to be automatized maintaining the flexibility in regard of the broad product range. Panels ranging from 1x1 foot in size up to 4x8 foot have to be assembled from two blanks bent on press brakes and an optional layer of insulation material. A competitors proposal uses standard market solutions with a transfer system. The high cost and low flexibility of this alternative result in tipping the scales on the GÜDEL side. Read more ...

Production of bevel pinions for drive trains of construction equipment. In full automation mode the cell has to be able to produce parts with a cycle time of 3 minutes. Included in the cell are two shaping, one deburring and a washing machine. A further difficulty is to handle 200 different parts with a maximum setup time between products of under ten minutes. Finally the available height of the building is limited so that a special solution has to be found to be able to load the machines from the top side.
