Watch: Robotic Welding Solution in Early Stages of Commissioning
To meet the customer’s cycle time requirements, Facteon elected to deploy two synchronised MIG welding robots to partially assemble a commercial washing machine drum. This single cell welds multiple points, including the shaft to rear cover and to the diaphragm top.
Constrained to a tight space, these two robots work in unison to deliver a robust weld our customer can trust to perform in market. Facteon and the customer selected a robotic welding solution to deliver unmatched flexibility and adaptability which will allows for the processing of numerous products on a single production line.
