Fully automated robotic spot and stud welding station for steel enclosures

Robotic spot and stud welding station for steel enclosures model SP-8/4×75/AC/R, was designed for high-precision spot welding of steel enclosures (14 points) and projection welding of studs. The welding process is carried out across three stations, with fully automated workpiece transfer between them.

The process begins with manual loading of the housing and start confirmation by the operator. The first phase involves spot welding the housing edges at the input station, from where a Cartesian gripper transports the part to a corner spot welding station. Next, a 6-axis robot picks up the welded housing and moves it to the projection welding area. An integrated feeder automatically delivers studs onto the bottom electrode, and the welder performs a sequence of four welds. The automated cycle concludes with the robot placing the finished housing onto the output conveyor.

The system ensures full repeatability, the highest quality of steel component joining, and cycle time optimization.
