What is the Steelworks Robot Weld Cell?
Our automated weld cell features a single welding robot with dual part-positioner trunnions—one on each side. This setup allows the robot to weld parts on one trunnion while the operator loads or unloads the other, creating a continuous workflow with minimal downtime and maximum efficiency.
- Motoman MH50-20 3m reach robot
- Gooseneck WH500T 22D MIG welding torch
- 2x Motoman MH1600 Positioner Trunnions
- Capable of accepting up to 3m long parts
- Miller Auto Axcess 450 MIG welder
Seamless Integration and Throughput
This dual-trunnion configuration allows for high-mix, low-volume flexibility while still maintaining production speed. We can adapt the weld cell setup to suit your part requirements—whether it’s single-pass welding or complex multi-angle joints. The system is ideal for batch runs, recurring parts, or early-stage prototypes that need precision, consistency, and repeatability.
Built for Efficiency and Safety
With programmable positioning, repeatable motion control, and high-quality MIG welds, our robot weld cell minimizes manual handling and reduces the risk of defects or inconsistencies. Operators remain safely outside the weld zone while the robot performs its task, ensuring compliance with workplace safety standards without compromising production timelines.
Weld-Ready Support for Your Projects
Our team can assist with fixture design, weld development, and compatibility checks to ensure your parts are optimized for automation. If you’re new to robotic welding, we’ll walk you through the process—from concept validation to weld sample trials—so you can make informed decisions without investing in your own equipment.
Frequently Asked Questions
We typically work with carbon steel parts up to 3 meters in length. Common projects include brackets, frames, handrail components, and custom assemblies requiring precision and repeatability.
We offer a free initial assessment. Just send us a CAD file or drawing, and we’ll review its geometry, material, and weld requirements to determine fit and fixture needs.
Yes. Our team can develop custom fixtures to ensure proper alignment, accessibility, and weld integrity within the cell. Fixture design is critical to robotic welding success.
Absolutely. Many of our clients use the cell for 10–100 part runs. You avoid upfront equipment investment while still getting the speed and consistency of automation.
Typical turnaround time from approval to first weld is 1–2 weeks, depending on part complexity and fixture needs. We’ll provide a clear timeline once we review your part.
