INDUSTRY FOCUS

Heavy Equipment Manufacturing

Over 30 years Optimizing the

automation & the production of heavy equipment

Companies integrate automated equipment into important areas for welding, material handling, pick and place, and repetitive activities since manufacturing and assembling industrial equipment is a difficult job. To increase quality, traceability, efficiency, and throughput, firms typically use a combination of robotic arms, sensors, conveyance, guided vehicles, artificial intelligence and machine learning. The types of heavy equipment consist of cranes, bulldozers, excavators, mixers, loaders and farming equipment.

Robotics can be used for heavy material handling and operator-assist devices for carrying engines, wheels, and parts through warehouses, decreasing the danger of injury to personnel. Robots in heavy equipment manufacturing can also reduce labor costs and increase competitiveness by reducing manual labor or augmenting their skills and capabilities.

Frame Welding

Welding of large steel frames is a difficult, labor-intensive task, not to mention ergonomically challenging for the welders. MWES can enhance any frame welding operations with the integration of robotic automation, which would provide consistent and reliable results every time. 

Storage Tanks & Vessels

Typically the highest standard of welding is needed for tank and pressure vessel welding. MWES provides unique large component manipulators, robotic welders, weld bead sensors, and robotic path and diagnostic software to support the manufacturing of these large parts while ensuring the highest quality. Weld diagnostic inspection and data acquisition help support the assurance that productivity and weld integrity is tracked and recorded for future reference by your engineering staff.

Structural Steel

Large building structures and earth-moving frame/boom-based fabrications require specialized material handling and process capability to create quality components in a safe manner. MWES provides systems for material handling and part orientation for operator ergonomics and accessibility. We also provide welding solutions in plasma and laser cutting in complex shapes and welding systems for joining heavy frames and structural components.
