Production-specific engineering

Custom Welding Automation

Custom welding machines and automation concepts developed around real workpieces, process requirements and production constraints.

Production challenges

Built for these production challenges.

01

Production-specific welding machines and cells

02

Integrated handling, clamping and process control

03

Modernisation or extension of an existing production concept

Engineering context

Technical decisions behind the right solution.

These factors are reviewed before HST confirms a machine family, project scope or production concept.

01When standard is not enough

Custom engineering starts at the process boundary.

A dedicated concept is appropriate when the required fixture, movement, workpiece handling or weld sequence cannot be covered responsibly by standard equipment alone.

  • Part-specific fixture and tooling requirements
  • Connected handling and controlled movement
  • Existing equipment that must remain in the process
02Control and safety

Automation includes the operator and the workplace.

The control architecture, safe access, guarding, operating modes and recovery from interruptions must be developed alongside the welding sequence.

  • Manual, service and automatic operating modes
  • Welding-source and production-system interfaces
  • Repeatability, diagnostics and process visibility
03Consultation process

A useful concept begins with verified inputs.

HST reviews drawings, materials, production volume, the current workflow and the intended project boundary before recommending an automation scope.

  • Application and feasibility review
  • Machine concept and interface definition
  • Configuration confirmed before commercial scope
HST machine families

Relevant systems from the current portfolio.

Open a family to compare its published models. Exact suitability is verified against the workpiece and process.

Selection guide

How to choose the right system.

01

Describe the current workflow and the production challenge.

02

Share the workpiece, welding and operating requirements.

03

Define the project boundary, interfaces and expected operating concept.

Buyer guidance

Frequently asked questions.

01When is a custom welding machine appropriate?

A custom concept is considered when the workpiece, process, handling or production sequence cannot be covered responsibly by a standard machine alone.

02What should be prepared for the first consultation?

Useful inputs include drawings, materials, welding methods, current workflow, production constraints and the intended scope of automation.
