Welding of trailer axles is a highly demanding task
Welds on vehicle components are exposed to high dynamic loadings, as a result?of which welding trailer axles is one of the most demanding tasks in joining?technology. Reliable welding processes and state-of-the-art production technology?are essential prerequisites for guaranteeing maximum component quality at the?same time as unrestricted flexibility.
Two welding cells increase flexibility
For its production of rocker arms, anti-theft devices and various add-on parts?for commercial vehicle trailer axles, AL-KO relies on two identical welding cells?from the leading system integrator, Robolution. Production in these stations is?dominated by small batch sizes of between 10 and 500 parts, with an enormous?number of variants. The Robolution universal cells with their two different?special positioners bring an incredible flexibility to bear, while using the six-axis?KUKA KR 16 welding robot guarantees both outstanding quality and productivity.
