David Viñolas, Managing director of Viñolas Metall

The challenge

Viñolas welds beams for swimming pool enclosures from chrome-nickel steels 304 and 316. When manufacturing these series components—which are put to use in corrosive environments—it is essential to take industry specifications and welding standards into account. Welding autonomy, high welding quality, and guaranteed reproducibility were therefore key when Viñolas went looking for a suitable system.

The solution

The welding solution consists of a robotic welding cell equipped with TPS 400i CMT welding technology and a reversible positioner, which has two vertical turntables on a horizontal axis on both sides. Once one side of the positioner is loaded, the components rotate into the welding cell and are joined in a single cycle. On the other side, the finished welded components can be removed and new ones positioned, thereby saving valuable cycle time. When performing automated and manual tasks where rapid process changes between MIG/MAG and TIG are required, Viñolas turns to the iWave Pro 400i AC/DC multiprocess welding machines.
