A large rotary turntable with two integrated 4’ x 8’ modular weld tables is used to robotically weld a variety of sheetmetal enclosures. An operator can load and unload parts while the robot welds behind the divider panels. After the welding is finished, the rotary turntable indexes 180° and the process is repeated. A complete line of interchangeable tooling components can be used on the tables.
Fixture Highlights
Sheetmetal enclosure is pre-tacked prior to being loaded onto tables
When a job is finished, the tooling is disassembled and put away
If a job repeats in the future, a fixture can be rebuilt to within 0.005”
Tables can be used in manual work cells if the robot becomes obsolete
