A dual fixed-table robotic welding cell for manufacturers looking to enhance productivity on small- to medium-sized welded parts is shipped assembled and ready for immediate production.

Marathon is pleased to introduce the Z-Weld dual fixed-table robotic welding cell for manufacturers looking to enhance productivity on small- to medium-sized welded parts Shipped assembled and ready for immediate installation and production, the Z-Weld is particularly suited as an alternative to semi-automatic arc welding

Robotic welding can be three times more productive than a manual welder.

Marathon's Z-Weld is adaptable to all models of robots and welding power supplies and can be pre-programmed to meet specific material and application needs.

The cell's 85 by 105in 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 included are as follows.

* Customer specific power supply and robot.

* Two 30 x 40in tables mounted on a common machine base.

* Manual or automatic doors at load/unload stations.

* Full perimeter guarding with maintenance access door.

* Air- or water-cooled torch assembly.

* 'Watchdawg' for welding ('Watchdawg' is the Orbitform Group's line of process monitoring and process control products.

Besides welding, Orbitform offers Watchdawg for various other assembly related processes).

* 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.

* About marathon - Marathon is part of the Orbitform Group and specializes in design, engineering, process development, and manufacture of a wide range of resistance and robotic welding machines and workcells.

Marathon also offers comprehensive plant management and data acquisition devices and software.
