Robotic Welding – 2600 Rotary Positioner — Large-Format Robotic Welding

The 2600 Rotary Positioner welding cell is the large-format sibling of our rotary positioner system—built to handle bigger parts and wider assemblies while keeping the same production advantages: coordinated rotary motion, stable fixturing, and a dual-bay workflow that keeps the robot welding while parts are loaded.

Where the standard rotary cell is ideal for compact assemblies, the 2600 format opens up the working envelope for longer, wider, and more awkward geometries—without sacrificing weld access or repeatability.

What the 2600 Rotary Positioner cell does

This cell performs robotic MIG welding on parts mounted to a large-format rotary positioner. The positioner rotates the component during the weld cycle to maintain optimal joint presentation. For larger frames, long weld runs, and multi-face components, the 2600 format helps keep the weld in the robot’s “happy zone” rather than pushing the torch into compromised angles.

How it works (process)

• Load & clamp: operator loads the component onto the positioner fixture in Bay A and confirms ready.
• Coordinated motion: the robot welds while the positioner rotates to keep the joint in the best orientation.
• Parallel operation: while Bay A runs, the operator unloads/loads Bay B outside the active weld zone.
• Bay swap: once the cycle completes, interlocks allow access and the cell switches to the next bay.
• Repeat: alternating bays keeps production moving and reduces robot idle time.

Key features

• Rotary positioner axis coordinated with the welding robot
• Improved weld access through controlled part orientation
• Dual-bay production layout to maintain high arc-on time
• Fully enclosed cell with guarding, interlocks, and weld-arc protection
• Operator-ready controls: teach pendant operation with clear cell status indication
• Power source flexibility (Fronius options to suit your process requirements)
• Engineered to applicable AU/NZ safety expectations with risk-based design and guarding

Applications

• Fabricated assemblies with multiple faces
• Frames and structures requiring consistent weld presentation
• Components with long seams or awkward torch access
• Production MIG welding where repeatability and cycle time matter
• General manufacturing and fabrication with mixed part geometries

Delivery formats

• Standalone welding cell for integration into an existing workshop flow
• Integrated production cell with upstream/downstream material handling, data capture, and inspection (as required)
