Transportation

High quality welds and uniformity are essential for manufacturing transportation industry products. In order to achieve high quality welds with an automated system, there must be consistent and repeatable motion. This requires control over the velocity and positioning of each welding axis.

Products in this industry are often very large. Robust fixtures are necessary to firmly hold the parts during welding and also maintain accuracy when performing repetitious tasks such as seam welding.

Manufacturers in this industry often create more than one product line. This usually requires more than one weld process to be present on a system. This can be especially challenging to implement multiple weld processes when the welds are performed on the ID of a part due to size constraints. This also makes monitoring the welds difficult.

AMET’s systems incorporate high quality motion components to ensure repeatability and uniformity for each weld. Our advanced controls are easy to program yet precise and powerful to ensure welds are performed consistently. We integrate servo motors with encoder feedback to provide precision motion for velocity and positioning control on all weld axes. These axes are controllable and programmable from the XM Controller.

We also offer a complete line of seam welders, manipulator systems, and lathes. Each fixture we produce is designed for precision performance and longevity. This ensures the system produces uniform parts for years to come, which provides a good return on investment.

Our unique controls allow us to integrate and control several weld processes and power supplies into one central control package. We design single or multi process systems to meet your needs. To monitor these systems when welding large parts or the ID, our systems are configurable with the AMET arc viewing camera systems. This allows the operator to completely monitor and control the system from a remote location.

We have been providing and supporting automated systems for the transportation industry for more than ten (10) years, and we have more than 25 years of automation experience.

AMET’s proven precision controls, robust welding fixtures, excellent customer service, and experience allow us to provide unmatched automated welding systems. Our ability to control and integrate multiple processes without the need for additional complex controls sets us apart from others in the automated industry.

With our ability to customize and adapt to the needs of our customers, we can provide the ideal system for virtually any application. Contact us so we can help you find your solution.
