Indexing Ferris Wheel Cell

Welding Cell Highlights

The Indexing Ferris Wheel Cell comes with a full range of safety features and can accommodate two robots.

The loading zone of the cell is available in two variations: roll door or light curtain.

Rapid changeovers and high productivity are made possible by adaptive software and the high-speed drives of the positioners.

Positioners are offered in three variants and is designed to handle fixtures weighing up to 1,000 kg.

Featured Project

MWES provided a Standard Ferris Wheel Welding Cell to our customer, for the final welding of generator base frames. This system included one robot and one 2-sided, interchanging, welding positioner, as well as custom designed fixturing.
