Automated Welding & Bending
Workstation for Hoppers.

Delivered to a leading domestic manufacturer of conveyor system components for the building materials industry. The client required automation of the full hopper production process — from assembly and positioning through welding and bending — across 11 different hopper specifications.

The previous manual process required repeated repositioning and fixture changes between models, with inconsistent weld quality across the 36 weld seams per unit. The bending operation was performed separately, adding cycle time and handling risk.

Automated hopper welding and bending workstation Hopper welding and bending station — robotic handling, 11-model fixture system, integrated bending unit
Challenges in this application
  • 11 hopper models requiring repeated repositioning and fixture changes — manual changeover time was eliminating production efficiency gains
  • 36 weld seams per unit demanding uniform quality — manual process produced variation between operators and positions
  • Welding and bending performed as separate manual operations — additional handling between steps created quality and throughput risk
AGR engineering approach
  • Integrated robotic handling, arc welding, and bending in a single workstation — full process from assembly to finished component without manual transfer
  • System accommodates all 11 hopper specifications — fixture engineering designed for the actual variant range, not the primary model with workarounds
  • 36 seams automated with consistent parameters — no operator-dependent quality variation. Cycle time reduced 35% versus the previous multi-step manual process

Agricultural Vehicle
Frame Welding.

Agricultural vehicle frame welding station for multi-model production, optimised for accuracy, speed, and high adaptability across model variants. FANUC M-10iA with MAG welding and mixed shielding gas — stable arc and reduced spatter across varying frame geometry.

Modular welding programs allow fast product switching with compact line layouts. Automated seam searching minimises manual input and improves repeatability across all model variants without requiring separate programming for each.

  • FANUC M-10iA — MAG process, mixed shielding gas
  • Modular programs for fast model switching
  • Automated seam searching — minimal operator input
  • Compact layout with high production flexibility

RV Chassis Frame
Production.

Dual-robot welding workstation for RV chassis frame production. Large frame geometry required coordinated dual-robot operation, servo-driven positioners, and intelligent monitoring to maintain dimensional precision throughout complex welding sequences.

Anti-collision torch system with automatic cleaning unit ensures stable operation across long production cycles. End-to-end automation from manual loading to weld completion significantly reduces manual workload while maintaining consistent process quality.

  • Dual FANUC M-10iD/8L — CO₂ gas-shielded arc welding
  • Servo-driven positioners with coordinated robot motion
  • Automatic torch cleaning — stable long-cycle operation
  • Intelligent monitoring and quality management
RV chassis frame dual-robot welding RV Chassis — dual FANUC robots, servo positioners, large frame structure

The Industry Label Matters Less
Than the Engineering Problem.

The assessment begins from the specific welding challenge — material, section, joint type, inspection requirement, production volume — and produces an engineering recommendation matched to that constraint, regardless of industry category.
