MACArc
MACARC
The MACArc (MESH Automation Cell for arc welding) is a professional-grade, pre-engineered, robotics-based flexible automation cell. The MACARC is ideally designed for welding type processes, The pre-engineered features and options make for a great value with quick deliveries, while also allowing for easy size and layout customization.
This third generation of design has been fine-tuned to provide a service life greater than 15 years, unparalleled fit and finish, modern globally available hardware, precision designs for product repeatability and low process variability, and features like our “large frame servo fixture” that allows for push-button changeovers and a batch size of one processing.
MESH has partnered with a variety of well-known industry leaders to outfit the MACArc with the following top of the line Welding specific components and features:
Welding Power Supply: Fronius, SKS, Miller, Lincoln, others
Torch: Fronius, SKS, Abicor Binzel, others
