What we do, and what we do not do
A clear sheet to find out in two minutes whether your part fits within our scope. Values marked 'indicative' are confirmed case by case when the file is checked.
Materials and process
| Material | Non-alloy structural steel (S235, S355 type) |
|---|---|
| Process | MIG/MAG welding (solid wire, shielding gas) |
| Joint types | Straight and circular fillet welds (tube on plate, stiffeners, gussets), automatic tacking before welding |
| Thicknesses | Plates and sections of the usual thicknesses in welded fabrication, around 2 to 10 mm (indicative) |
Dimensions and batches
| Envelope of the finished part | Up to about 1 m x 0.5 m |
|---|---|
| Components | Laser-cut parts that the robot arm can handle (a few kilos per component, indicative) |
| Number of components | From 2 to around ten per assembly, typically |
| Batches | From a single part to a few hundred units |
Tolerances, finishes and quality
| Tolerances | General tolerances for welded constructions to EN ISO 13920, class agreed in the quote |
|---|---|
| Inspection | Dimensional and visual weld inspection before shipping |
| Finishes | As welded. Shot blasting, painting or galvanising through partners, to be specified in the request |
| Quality | Procedures to EN ISO 3834 (certification targeted), welders and operators qualified to EN ISO 14732 |
We do it
- Brackets, consoles, lugs, stiffened angle brackets
- Frames and chassis in tubes or sections
- Machine base sub-assemblies
- Steel fit-out elements
- Small and medium repeat batches
Not for now
- Stainless steel, aluminium and other alloys
- TIG welding and demanding full-penetration welds
- Large structures and structural steelwork
- Piping and pressure equipment
- Parts larger than about 1 m
If your part falls outside this scope, we tell you straight away and, where possible, point you to a partner workshop. The scope will widen as the cell is developed further.
