Robotic welder provides alternative to manual welding

Marathon's new “personal weld cell” is the answer to repetitious manual applications (Figure 2). The Mini-Z can deliver the same punch as the bigger cells – at a fraction of the cost! The Mini-Z is a competent, stand- alone, option for short-run shops, or can be easily integrated into large-scale production manufacturing operations.

A small footprint gives the unit ease of mobility and accessibility for tooling changeover. Shipped assembled and ready for immediate installation and production, the Mini-Z is a flexible alternative to manual welding.

The Mini-Z welder comes complete with:

Compact footprint. Lean cell design. Work window 24×16in. (W×H). Easy-to-program Kawasaki robot. User friendly teach pendant controls. Fronius weld control. 3D weld path modelling. Turnkey tooling/fixturing. DeviceNet options.
