SUCCESS Robotic Welding Increases Productivity In Unlikely Applications NX-4.420 03/09 • 1,500 individual parts per lift truck had to be welded in one of only nine welding stations. • Increased downtime associated with changing welding procedures and fixtures for each part. • Manual MIG and stick welding processes resulted in inconsistency and variable weld quality. • Lincoln Electric System 30 Robotic Cell • Lincoln Electric System 30HS Robotic Cell • Lincoln Electric Power Wave ® 455M • Lincoln Electric SuperArc ® L-56 • 80% decrease in lift truck production time. • More consistent welds of a higher quality—passing destructive testing after each run. • Reduction in welding stations enabled the addition of a new production line and increased manufacturing capacity without adding more
