Industrial competence: Industrial vehicle industry Solutions for automated welding and cutting in industrial vehicle manufacturing

"Strength lies in quality." Friedrich Nietzsche

We understand your business In the past, lightweight design played a special role in the automotive industry, but now weight-reducing measurements are also in demand of the industrial vehicle industry Payload optimised lorries can transport more freight, save fuel and relieve the load on the traffic network - and here the lightweight design results in enormous increases of efficiency Some developments and concepts of the automotive sector can be applied to the industrial vehicle production, too. So, the use of components made of aluminium, steel, high-strength steel in different quality...

Fully-automated to the tiniest detail

Project description F.X. Meiller GmbH & Co. KG is specialised on manufacturing tipper bodies and trailers. At its Czech production site in Slaný the company recently invested in a new robot system by CLOOS.

Industry solutions MEILLER rear tipper "Classic" for MAN TGS bogies with front telescope cylinder, stable floor construction and scissor-type tipping stabiliser Project description Meiller produces tipper body sub-frames for three-way tippers, sensor and online laser sensor). Due to the 33 m long gantry the tipper bodies for rectangular rear tippers and half-pipe tipper two robots can reach all stations. bodies for rear tippers and semitrailers in three-shift operation. Tipper bodies for rear tippers are welded in Station A. Tipper body sub-frames for three-way tippers are welded in Station...

Industry solutions At the Slaný site the tipper bodies for rear tippers, three-way and two-way tippers are produced and later exported to Europe and Asia. A changing system allows the two six-axis QRC 350 robots to weld with the MAG Tandem and the single-wire process. The system comprises three workstations which are arranged in a line. Thus the processing time during production is reduced considerably. Highlights Fully automated production also in 3-shift operation Highest productivity due to the high deposition rate of the tandem process Maximum system flexibility with changing the...

Industry solutions The Variopress container with a built-in compaction press and rear loader has a volume of 7 to 30 m³. Project description Faun as the most successful manufacturer of waste disposal vehicles in Europe offers customised solutions for the most different waste types. An individual robot system for welding the waste collection containers was designed according to the specific customer's requirements. The 42 m long floor-mounted linear track is equipped with a vertical and horizontal track and a C frame. Thus the QRC 350 robot can perfectly access the workpiece, particularly in...

Industry solutions The QRC 350 robot welds the external seam of the container. The container is 3 mm thick and Tandem welded. The different container types are welded in 4 stations which can be operated independently from each other. The completed container meets the highest standards of tensile strength and weld quality and allows an optimum waste compaction. Highlights Clear speed advantage with the Speed Weld process at 120 cm per minute Optimum component accessibility due to the positioner uaranteed high speed with a constantly high weld quality G due to the Tandem Weld process lexible...

Industry solutions The Grove GMK4115 mobile telescoping crane with a max. capacity of 100 t, 11.3 m boom length and a boom angle of -1.5° to max. +82°. Project description The Manitowoc Group is one of the world's leading crane man- The CLOOS QIROX robot with its 7 axes is suspended below a ufacturers. The US Group produces its GROVE brand auto-cranes gantry which travels along a precise rail system through the at the Wilhelmshaven site. There, CLOOS realised a laser hybrid 26 m-long cabin. Processing is in the PC position, i.e. at 3 and system for welding and cutting of the booms. The boom...

Industry solutions The boom of a mobile crane comprises a main element and up to 6 six telescopic sections, each of which can measure up to 14 m. The lower half is made of a thicker plate than the upper half. High-strength fine-graded steels with material thicknesses from 4 to 15 mm are used to produce the boom sections. The automatic position marking for the holes is now made 80 % faster compared to manual cutting. By hand, each hole took 15 min. The laser produces up to 30 holes in the same time. Highlights Flexible use of the laser, also for automated position Cost reduction as there is...

Industry solutions The axle components for the voestalpine industrial vehicles meet the highest demands in the field of safety, lightweight design and cost reduction and are characterised by a maximum functionality. Project description At their location in Linz, the steel specialist voestalpine weld drive axle casings for industrial vehicles with a chained CLOOS robot system. The complex system consists of four welding stations, two processing stations and seven robots in total. The axle casings are fully-automated moved from station to station by means of a shuttle system. At the first...

Industry solutions The system comprises a total of six stations which are operated by only two workers. The output quantity in 3-shift operation is 75,000 axles. The stations are chained, the components are loaded via a shuttle system. Measurement of the axle casing by means of a laser offline sensor and then root pass welding to both sides Welding of the interior cover seams with best accessibility due to the 90° special torch at the QRC 320 robot Highlights Meets the highest demands when welding safety-related components by using laser sensors, test systems and high end technologies...
