A better starting point
Start with the job.
Plan for success.
A useful automation conversation starts with your parts, your process, and your definition of success. Our project planner helps you organize the essentials.
Plan your application01
Define the process.
What arrives, what needs to happen, and what leaves the cell?
02
Understand the complete scope.
Parts, tooling, access, interfaces, and the full production cycle.
03
Have a more useful conversation.
Discuss your application, goals, and next steps.
The field guide
Less guesswork.
Better-informed decisions.
Payload and reach are the start. Not the answer.
Compare published robot specifications without losing sight of tooling, part variation, actual positions, and the complete application.
Read the guideA robot price is not a welding-cell budget.
Use this scoping checklist to compare welding-cell quotations, including tooling, fixtures, access, integration, and acceptance criteria.
