Clad Cell Automation System

Among Redrock’s newer line of weld automation equipment is our clad cell automation system, offering a combination of TIG welding quality with the speed of MIG welding systems.

Our clad cell automation station offers an easy to use interface for computerised pre-programmable weld operations and is suitable for Hot/Cold Wire Pulsed TIG. All weld parameters including positional information can be stored for reproducibility, allowing the automatic welding of complete components.

Programming can be configured by client preferences – operators may be approved to make minor changes decided by engineers or senior operators, or more enhanced and complex changes may be uploaded to the programmable logic controller (PLC) by approved engineers.

This can include altering the stored data from earlier operations so only senior weld operators or technicians can make configuration changes to existing stored processes.

The PLC provides easy programming, reliable control and fast fault diagnosis, which is fully configurable to individual requirements. Set your processes, monitor the progress, change as necessary, watch your quality and speed soar.

Clad Cell Automation at a Glance

  • Set minimum and maximum parameters on the PLC to give alarm messages to operators when the values are out of range.
  • The data logger module can store the data of weld conditions and store operator input records.
  • Arc voltage controls provide automatic height control of the welding torch above the workpiece.
  • Fully programmable programmable logic controller (PLC).
  • Intuitive screens for full control and ease of use.

Benefits of Clad Cell Automation

Clad cell automation equipment offers multiple benefits across your welding processes:

Quality and Consistency

Clad cell automation systems ensure that cladding is applied with high levels of precision, resulting in uniform, high-quality layers. The PLC is capable of performing the same operation repeatedly without variation, ensuring consistency across all welds and workpieces.

Enhanced Productivity

With the ability to operate at higher speeds than other manual welding processes, clad cell automation systems offer a critical opportunity for increasing throughput. Automation of tasks means reduced downtime and faster cycle times, meaning a better utilisation of resources and manpower.

Safety

Automation allows for the removal of your workforce from hazardous environments, reducing the risk of injury, whilst eliminating the need for manual handling of heavy or awkward workpieces.

Cost Savings

Benefit from reduced skilled labour requirements with clad cell automation, which in turn lowers your overall labour costs. Waste is minimised with precise control over material deposition and weld quality, resulting in cost savings on cladding materials.
