Automated Robotic Welding Services

Overview & Use Cases

Able Hardware provides robotic welding services in China for repeatable, export-ready welded frames, carts, bases, and brackets. We integrate laser cutting and CNC prep, dedicated welding fixtures, and ISO-aligned QA so your assemblies arrive consistent, dimensionally true, and ready for downstream operations.

Why this solution for production repeatability & cost control

Robotic welding drives uniform penetration and bead geometry across large volumes, reducing rework and scrap. Programmed torch paths, controlled parameters, and planned weld sequences keep distortion in check, while dedicated fixtures compress cycle time and stabilize quality. The result is lower cost per unit at scale and fewer surprises in your assembly line. Explore related services: laser cutting, 仕上げ, and our quality program.

Typical industries & applications

Material-handling carts and racks, industrial machinery frames and bases, warehouse fixtures, retail display structures, AGV/robot bases, and light to medium structural fabrications. See examples in custom metal frames そして welding trolley carts.


Technical Properties

材料, thickness range, weld quality levels

  • 材料: Carbon steel tube/plate is standard; stainless steel is available on request.
  • 厚さ: ~1.5–8.0 mm by single-pass robotic MIG; thicker sections via multi-pass with controlled inter-pass temperature (℃).
  • Joint types: Fillet, lap, plug, and corner joints; weld sequencing planned to minimize heat input and distortion.
  • Quality levels: Visual inspection per ISO 17637 with acceptance to ISO 5817 Level B/C by agreement.

制限事項 & alternatives (brief)

Very thick or highly reflective materials may require multi-pass regimes, specialized wire/process windows, or alternative processes. Where needed, we combine robotic MIG with light machining or post-straightening to meet tight datum requirements.

Manufacturing Options

Supported processes & 公差 (ISO 13920 / ISO 2768)

  • Prep: レーザー切断, sawing, and beveling; thermal cut quality per ISO 9013.
  • 溶接: Robotic MIG with programmed paths and parameter control for consistent penetration and bead profile.
  • Post-ops: Straightening, drilling/tapping, and light machining to bring critical features into tolerance.
  • Tolerances:
    • Welded structures per ISO 13920 (Class B/C by agreement).
    • Machined features per ISO 2768-m or to print.
    • Datum schemes with functional A/B/C datums; GD&T controls for 平坦度, perpendicularity, parallelism, and position. For guidance, see GD&T for welded frames (/resources/gdt-welded-frames/).

Fixtures & 表面仕上げ (powder/zinc/e-coat)

Dedicated checking and welding fixtures secure frames and maintain geometry over long runs. Finishes include パウダーコーティング (RAL/Pantone equivalent), zinc plating, そして e-coat to agreed corrosion targets. We protect edges and paint during export with KD/nested packing, corner/edge guards, そして ISPM-15 pallets/crates.

Types & Geometry

Common assemblies (frames, carts, bases, brackets) & sizing

We routinely build:

  • Machine frames & bases: Box tube and plate sub-assemblies with gussets and leveling feet.
  • Material-handling carts & ラック: モジュラーフレーム, 棚, とハンドル; caster brackets and tow bars.
  • Brackets & sub-frames: Precision tabs, hinge plates, and mounting features tied to datum A/B/C. Typical envelope sizes range from hand-carry brackets up to large welded frames that ship knock-down to optimize container loading.

品質 & テスト

What we verify (ISO/AWS methods—visual, NDT, CMM, PPAP basics)

  • Visual inspection: ISO 17637; acceptance to ISO 5817 Level B/C.
  • NDT (optional): MT/PT/UT/RT to ISO 17638/17640/17636 for critical welds.
  • Dimensional control: Checking fixtures for routine checks; first-article and periodic CMM for key characteristics.
  • Metallurgical checks: Macro-etch samples by agreement.
  • トレーサビリティ & docs: Heat/batch certificates, COA, そして PPAP basics per agreed element list. Review our QA approach at /quality/.

Pricing & Lead Time

Moq, sample policy, indicative cost drivers (no hard prices)

  • Moq: We support pilot runs; typical production MOQs start from 50–200 pcs per release depending on size and fixture complexity.
  • Samples/Prototypes: 1–5 pcs common for fit-ups and weld validation before fixture sign-off.
  • Lead time model: Prototype → fixture sign-off → SOP. After SOP, releases ship on cadence via blanket orders.
  • Cost drivers: Material grade and thickness; total weld length and joint type; tolerance class (ISO 13920 B vs C); NDT/inspection scope; finish (powder vs e-coat vs zinc); packaging method (KD vs assembled); and logistics lane. Request a line-item quote through /services/robotic-welding/.

よくある質問

Do you work primarily with carbon steel?

はい. Carbon steel tube/plate is our standard for frames and carts. We also support stainless steel on request when specified.

What thickness range do your robots handle?

Single-pass robotic MIG typically covers ~1.5–8.0 mm. Thicker sections are welded multi-pass with controlled inter-pass temperatures.

What tolerances can you hold?

General welded assemblies follow ISO 13920 Class B/C; machined features follow ISO 2768-m or your print. GD&T for flatness, perpendicularity, parallelism, and position is supported using datum A/B/C.

Which processes are included before and after welding?

We provide laser cutting, sawing, beveling, and after welding can straighten, drill/tap, and lightly machine critical features.

How do you verify weld quality?

Visual inspection to ISO 17637 with acceptance per ISO 5817. Optional MT/PT/UT/RT per ISO standards. Dimensional checks via fixtures and CMM for key features.

What is a typical lead time?

Prototypes often complete in 2–3 weeks, fixtures in ~1–2 weeks (parallel), and SOP shipments follow release schedules. Timelines vary by scope and finish.

What should I include in my RFQ?

Drawings with material grade and thickness, weld symbols (ISO 2553), GD&T and datum scheme, tolerance class, finish, inspection scope (例えば。, ISO 5817 Level), パッケージング, and target volumes.
