 - small wrist enables access inside intricate shapes.
- ultra-fast servos reduce air-cut time.
- revolutionary Motoman robot control module handles multiple tasks.
- MIG.
- up to 500kg capacity x 2.6m long.
- twin pallets allow one job to be set up while another being welded.
- minimises handling time.

Although the majority of our welding is robotic, we still have a place for highly skilled coded welders. They're used on short runs and prototypes where it isn't cost effective to set up a robotic welding programme. They're also used in certain intricate shapes where the robot isn't able to access the weld.

 Over 100 million spot welds are made every day in the automotive industry in Europe alone. Here it's being used at Newfield to attach a captive nut to a bracket - a typical application. spot welder

 

In the late summer of 2007, Newfield will be adding a new Motoman two work-station gantry style robot to it's capacity list. The new state of the art machine will have a capacity of 5 tonnes, and will be able to handle workpieces up to 8 metres in length x 2.4 metres diameter. The two workstation design will enable one piece to be set-up, while another piece is welding, and will maximise the productivity of very large work pieces. This brochure picture is a single work-station version of the new machine.
