Excavator Attachment Manufacturing
Problem
Positioning for manual finish welding of 2,000 lb – 8,500 lb excavator sheer assemblies.
COMPLEXITY
Approach
- Multiple 16,000 lb 3-axis positioners (P3X)
- 10,000 lb tilt-rotate welding positioners with custom tooling
Result
- Reduced material handling
- Improved weld positioning with additional axes of movement
- Improved part loading with adaptive tooling design for multiple product lines
