Robotic welding cells are proven to provide accuracy, reliability, versatility and speed for many industrial applications spanning diverse industries.
However, for some fab shop owners and manufacturers practicing lean principles concerns arise around floor space. How much valuable manufacturing space will a robotic welding cell consume? Is this welding cell the most efficient use of that floor space?
The OTC DAIHEN ECO-ARC 290 Compact Robotic Welding Cell
Introducing the new OTC DAIHEN ECO-ARC 290 compact production robotic welding cell. It is a dual servo-controlled, headstock parts positioning cell designed for small to medium-sized parts. 
The ECO-ARC 290 includes one arc-welding robot and two servo-controlled headstocks (station 1 and station 2), all on a single base that is easy to move. The two-station configuration allows the operator to prepare work on station 1 while the robot welds on station 2.
At approximately 2,500 kg in weight, its footprint is small compared to most other advanced robotic welding cells.
Welding Small to Medium Size Parts
The ECO-ARC 290 is an ideal production welding cell for manufacturers of small- to medium-sized parts, such as automotive parts.
Manufacturers already using or in line for the OTC DAIHEN ECO-ARC 290 include those producing motorcycle exhaust systems, aftermarket bumpers, ATV and SUV parts and more.
