Applications for igm Robot Systems

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

The igm reputation as a specialist for large-scale projects is based on a steady stream of major contracts from the heavy engineering industry since the 1980s. Indeed, the floor track systems of up to 100 m in length are designed to cater for the special requirements of this industry. Components with larger than standard dimensions such as those found in bridge construction and ship building for example, are manufactured using portal welding units capable of taking components of up to 25 m in width and 8 m in height.

The robotic systems are utilized amongst others for manufacturing excavators, railway wagons and locomotives, for boiler making, the construction of gantry cranes as well as for bridge construction and ship building.

 

Earthmoving with igm welding robots

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.
