Lincoln Electric is celebrating the sale of a further robot installation from its new Robotics Solutions range. This new System 100 robot (Plate 5), complete with Lincoln consumables and welding machines, was sold to Fortress Engineering,in Attleborough, Norfolk and installed just before New Year.

System 100 combines large component handling capability with a sophisticated automated welding system. One of the unique features of this installation is the use of the Lincoln STT Process. This new process provides continuous control of the metal deposition and results in consistent penetration with low fume levels and spatter.

The robotics cell, now in full production, has doubled the production of office furniture frames and has exceeded the design criteria.
