AMD Automation specializes in custom robotic welding systems that solve the challenges of modern manufacturing: skilled welder shortages, strict quality requirements, and increasing production demands. Our robotic cells integrate seamlessly into your production environment.
Robotic Welding Processes
Our team has deep expertise across all major automated welding processes:
MIG/MAG Welding (GMAW)
Gas metal arc welding for high-speed production of steel and aluminum components. We integrate advanced power sources from Lincoln Electric, Miller, and Fronius with adaptive controls for optimal results. Ideal for automotive frames, brackets, and structural assemblies.
TIG Welding (GTAW)
Gas tungsten arc welding for applications requiring superior weld quality and aesthetics. Perfect for stainless steel, aluminum, and exotic materials in medical device and aerospace applications.
Resistance Spot Welding
High-speed spot welding for sheet metal assemblies with precise electrode force and current control. Our systems achieve consistent nugget formation across thousands of welds per shift.
Laser Welding
High-speed, low-distortion welding for precision applications and thin materials. Fiber laser and CO2 laser systems available for electronics enclosures and precision components.
Welding Power Sources & Wire Feeders
We integrate industry-leading welding equipment:
- Lincoln Electric - PowerWave and PulsePower systems
- Miller Electric - Auto-Axcess and Continuum platforms
- Fronius - TPS/i intelligent welding systems
- SKS Welding - Specialized resistance welding equipment
- IPG Photonics - Fiber laser welding sources
Custom Welding Fixturing & Positioning
Successful welding automation requires more than just a robot. We design and build custom fixtures that:
- Locate parts accurately within ±0.5mm tolerance
- Provide optimal torch access for complex weld paths
- Enable quick changeover between part variants
- Include clamping for distortion control
Our servo positioners enable multi-axis manipulation for circumferential welds, tilting, and rotation.
Weld Quality Monitoring Systems
Our welding systems incorporate real-time monitoring to verify quality:
- Arc monitoring - Voltage, current, and wire feed tracking
- Seam tracking - Laser and through-arc sensing for joint following
- Vision inspection - Post-weld bead inspection and measurement
- Weld data logging - Complete traceability for quality records
Training & Ongoing Support
We provide comprehensive training for your operators and maintenance personnel, including:
- Robot programming and operation
- Welding parameter optimization
- Preventive maintenance procedures
- Troubleshooting common issues
Our support team is available to help optimize your welding processes and provide ongoing technical assistance.
