Custom Welding Systems

We sell the complete robotic laser welding system, customized around your part.

The product is not a generic workstation. It is a configured production cell: robot, laser, welding head, wire feed, controls, fixture, safety, process package, training, and handoff, selected after we understand the part and the weld.

System Input File

Before the quote, we map the application.

A custom robotic laser welding system starts with the same practical file set as a service trial.

PART Part geometry, weld seam locations, access limits, and loading method
WELD Material, thickness, joint type, gap range, and inspection target
CAP Cycle time, annual volume, staffing target, and automation budget
Custom fixture and robotic laser welding system validation
The fixture and weld access decide the system layout.

ROI Calculation

What changes before and after one robotic welding system.

Before Automation

Traditional MIG / TIG manual welding

  • 5 skilled welders producing about 40 pieces per day
  • High labor exposure: roughly $60K-$90K per welder per year in Western markets
  • Quality shifts with fatigue, staffing gaps, and operator variation
After One System

Integrated robotic laser welding system

  • Daily output around 120 pieces, with peak cases higher
  • Reduce 2 skilled welders and replace with 1 general operator for load / unload
  • Labor savings of about $8,000-$12,000 per month
  • Typical payback target: 6-10 months
“One robotic welding system can conservatively replace the productive output of three skilled welders. Once stable quality is part of the equation, the math gets even better.”
Reference Platform

Robot and laser platforms selected around the job.

Representative platform notes extracted from the supplied laser welding robot deck. Final configuration is customized after application review.

Platform Representative Specification Typical Use
ER15-1400 15 kg payload, 1400 mm reach, ±0.03 mm repeatability, IP67 Precision autogenous laser welding on compact fixtures and repeatable thin-sheet parts.
ARC12 series 6-axis platform, 1400 / 2000 mm reach, ±0.03 mm repeatability, IP67 Small-to-medium robotic laser welding systems with swing head, wire feed, and vision options.
ER25 / ER35 25 / 35 kg payload, 1800 mm reach, ±0.05 mm repeatability, IP67 Higher power heads, larger fixtures, and medium-thick laser or hybrid welding layouts.
Reference production case 3000+ operating hours and 35,000+ completed parts on ER15 robotic laser welding systems Useful benchmark for buyers who want production history, not only catalog specifications.

Arc

Hybrid process control

Coordinates current, voltage, wire feed, arc start, arc stop, and feedback signals.

Wire / Gas

Fit-up compensation

Manages wire speed, wire detection, wire retract, pre-flow gas, and delayed protection gas.

Variable

One seam, changing recipe

Supports variable parameters along one weld to handle unequal thickness or inconsistent gaps.

Optional Modules

Quote the assist hardware only when the process needs it.

Positioning

Dual-axis positioner

300 kg reference load, ±180° horizontal rotation, ±135° vertical rotation, and 1 arc-minute repeat positioning.

Tracking

Seam tracking

Laser seam tracking and smart control options can be added when joint position variation is the production risk.

Safety

Enclosure and guarding

Fence, viewing panels, interlocks, gas management, and fixture access are specified around the final layout.

Training

Robot operation package

Robot operation materials support commissioning, teaching, and maintenance handoff.

Custom Build Logic

From application review to a configured production cell.

You 1

Share application data

Part drawings, weld targets, volume, inspection method, and current pain points.

SkyFire 2

Select process route

Autogenous, wire-fed, or laser-arc hybrid based on gap, penetration, and material.

SkyFire 3

Design fixture concept

Clamping, reach, part access, positioner need, and loading method are mapped first.

SkyFire 4

Configure the cell

Robot, laser power, head, wire feed, chiller, controls, safety, and HMI are specified.

SkyFire 5

Trial weld when needed

For hard materials or tight quality targets, we prove the weld before final scope.

SkyFire 6

Deliver and train

Commissioning, operator training, recipe handoff, and maintenance notes complete the package.

Selection Inputs

What to prepare before asking for a quotation.

  • Material grade and thickness
  • Joint configuration and expected fit-up tolerance
  • Maximum assembly gap
  • Inspection and certification requirements
  • Target throughput and cycle time
  • Current welding process, filler wire, and shielding gas
  • Photos or videos of the part and current weld
Proof Before Purchase

Sampling is still the fastest way to reduce buying risk.

Before the final system configuration, send challenging parts for real trial welding. We can return a package that includes metallography, tensile testing, and cycle-time evaluation.
