MACSTUD2D
The MACStud2d (Gantry format for automated stud welding) is a professional-grade, pre-engineered, gantry-based flexible automation cell. The MACStud2d is designed for stud welding on horizontal metal products and put inline with an automated material handling system. 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 by using the Nexen roller pinion system with profiled linear bearings, unparalleled fit, and finish, modern globally available hardware, precision design for product repeatability, and low process variability and features like our available parametric programming that allow for push-button changeovers and batch size of one processing.
MESH has partnered with a variety of well-known industry leaders to outfit the MACStud2d with the following top of the line Stud Welding specific components and features:
Stud Welding Power Supplies and stud guns for capacitor discharge and drawn arc HBS and Nelson
