Genesis Weld Cells
Genesis is one of the largest robotic welding cell manufacturer in North America and has designed three lines of cells that are all compatible with FANUC welding robots like the FANUC Arcmate 120ic. Each Genesis weld cell comes with a FANUC robot, welding torch, power source, and safety package. Their Versa Systems line allows for a configuration of one or multiple FANUC welding robots. These weld cells have a center mounted robot design for improved workpiece access. The Genesis GenS Systems line feature several compact models that are designed for medium to high volume productions. These cells offer flexibility with robot mounting options that include center, rear, or overhead. Their CRZ Systems line features a compact and narrow design that can be configured as a single or dual station setup. The compact design allows for multiple CRZ weld cells to be installed next to each other for maximum productivity.Lincoln Electric Weld Cells
Lincoln Electric specializes in the manufacturing of welding equipment. In fact, they are well known for their PowerWave power sources that are commonly used amongst various robot manufacturers, especially FANUC welding robots. Lincoln Electric also designs pre-engineered welding cells that are integrated with FANUC robots such as the FANUC Arcmate 120ic/10L and a Lincoln Powerwave R350. Lincoln has three lines of welding systems which are categorized into fixed table systems, turntable systems, and positioning systems. All of their pre-engineered weld cells include a FANUC Arc Mate robot, PowerWave power source, welding torch, wire feeder, and safety package.Lincoln’s fixed table systems are designed for arc welding applications that do not require part repositioning during the welding process. They offer fixed table models capable of handling small, medium, or large part sizes. The fixed table models have options for either single or dual zones. All models within the fixed table category have a weight capacity of up to 500 kg.
The models comprising their turntable group are built to allow for workpiece rotation or repositioning during the welding application with either a servo driven or manual turntable. These cells can handle small or medium sized parts with a weight capacity of up to 362 kg. These models are well suited for those with limited floorspace as they feature a smaller footprint.
The last group of Lincoln weld cells are their positioning systems. These models feature various positioning options such as headstock, tailstock, or ferris wheel design. These models offer greater flexibility as they can accommodate a variety of tool lengths and have a weight capacity of up to 3,629 kg depending on the model selected.
