More than a dozen different large components for slewing tower cranes, for example slewing platforms or undercarriages for fast-erecting cranes, slewing gear bearings, or slewing ring supports for slewing platforms can be welded by igm welding robots.

igm has great experience in the realization of robotic systems for the production of forklifts and plays a key role in customized welding solutions for lift masts, lattice masts, main frames, engine frames and hydraulic cylinders.

When igm robots weld, precision comes into play: Our robot systems weld many parts for rail vehicles all over the world. Engines, frames, bogies, side walls, roofs, front walls for freight or passenger cars, locomotives, high-speed trains, suburban trains, subway and tram cars are products igm robots are working on.

Our installations for the manufacture of excavating machines consist of stand-alone machines or complete production lines with multiple welding cells and systems for automatic loading and unloading. Welding requirements are often demanding due to extreme material thickness, however, our robots are able to cope with position tolerances, seam displacements and welding distortions by means of laser camera systems which allow extremely accurate welding.

There are applications supported by igm Robotersysteme AG in every area of the welding and cutting industry.

From 06.-08.02. the fair SAMUEXPO celebrated its 20th anniversary! Since 1947, Pordenone in the province of Friuli, located about 30 km west of Udine, has served as a trade fair location for a wide range of economic sectors.

Bell Equipment Germany was founded in 2000 as the third European branch of the South African construction equipment manufacturer Bell Equipment. The Bell dumper truck plant was completely rebuilt on almost 10 hectares of total area, with a production area of around 16,000 m², and it is designed for flexible production of all current vehicle sizes.

The components are dumpers of the articulated dumper trucks with a loading volume of 18 t to 46 t and in the future up to 60 t. The production takes place in two steps: First, the subassemblies (rear and end walls) are manufactured in the smaller igm welding robot cell, then - after manual tacking - the complete dumper is welded in the large igm welding robot station.

The Company Stilfer is one of our longstanding customers, who are trusting completely on igm robotic systems in terms of automatic welding. Fifteen robot cells are filling the production halls of the manufacturer of diverse components for industrial machines from the building sector to the earth-moving sector. 2020 will follow 3 new igm installations to strengthen Stilfer´s workshop. Especially lifting- and hydraulic component equipment up to 12 meters in length and 6000 kg are processed by our robots.

We would like to express our appreciation for your valued partnership and collaboration during the last year. Best wishes for a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
