Marathon launches entry-level robotic welding cell
Marathon's new 'personal weld cell' is said to be the answer to repetitive manual applications; the Mini-Z can deliver the same punch as the bigger cells – but at a fraction of the cost. The Mini-Z is a competent, standalone option for short-run shops, or can be easily integrated into large-scale production manufacturing operations.
A small footprint gives the unit ease of mobility and accessibility for tooling changeover. Shipped assembled and ready for immediate installation and production, the Mini-Z is a flexible alternative to manual welding.
The Mini-Z welder comes complete with:
- Compact footprint
- Lean cell design
- Work window 24 x 16in (W x H)
- Easy-to-program Kawasaki robot
- User-friendly teach pendant controls
- Fronius weld control
- 3D weld path modelling
- Turnkey tooling/fixturing
- DeviceNet options
