Heavy Equipment Manufacturing

Over 30 years Optimizing the

automation & the production of heavy equipment

Robotic automation systems have become a mainstay in manufacturing heavy equipment. As far as safety and insurance claims go, relying on manual labor to handle large, heavy components is an unrealistic expectation. Additionally, robots reduce labor costs and increase competitiveness by repurposing manual labor and augmenting their capabilities. Robotics can be utilized for handling heavy parts and operator-assist devices for carrying assemblies through a factory decreasing the danger of injury to personnel and equipment.

Midwest Engineered Systems has for decades integrated automation systems for heavy equipment manufacturers. We have built automation systems that increase the quality, traceability, efficiency and throughput of manufacturing processes.

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.
