The cell's 85 by 105 inch footprint minimizes floor space usage, and its forklift compatible base allows portability for flexible manufacturing layouts.
Designed to provide versatile automation, Marathon's robotic cell can be used to weld various materials, including aluminum, steel, and stainless. Features include:
o Customer specific power supply and robot
o Two 30 x 40 inch tables mounted on a common machine base
o Manual or automatic doors at load/unload stations
o Full perimeter guarding with maintenance access door
o Air- or water-cooled torch assembly
o Watchdawg(TM) for Welding
o Torch reamer, exhaust hood, side access doors.
Designed to meet today's safety standards the Z-Weld provides ergonomic placement of operator panels and controls. The cell is delivered with a complete metal surround flash and safety barrier, and requires just power, air, and welding consumables to begin working.
