Special Welders and Automated Machines

Our design engineers and machine tool builders specialize in custom welders and automation equipment. These automated welding cells dramatically increase production rates over manual operation, while requiring minimal operating personnel.

Automated 180BX Inertia Friction Welder
Used for welding copier fuser rollers. This welding cell includes automated spindle loading, fixture loading and unloading, two conveyors for end cap and tube handling, and unload chute for off-loading welded parts. Cycle time is 45 seconds per welded assembly (two separate welds, one at each end of tube).

Special Model V120 Inertia Friction Welder
Special vertical 120 Inertia Friction Welder has CNC table to position space shuttle main engines for welding of injector posts. Superalloy injector posts are welded to space shuttle main engine. 600 posts per engine, 3 engines per shuttle

Model T120 Inertia Friction Welder
Used for welding automotive stabilizer bars. This twin welder has two independent spindles and fixtures to weld two solid ends to a hollow tube simultaneously. This welding cell includes automated spindle and fixture loading, flash shearing, flash removal conveyor, and part unloading conveyor. Welded assemblies are ready for fabrication and finishing. Production rates (dependent on tube diameter and wall thickness) are 250-300 welded assemblies per hour.
