What Are Complex Welded Assemblies in Industrial Manufacturing Applications?
Complex welded assemblies are unique products made from multiple components, which are pieced together and precisely welded to create a complete assembly.
The ability to join separate components and materials into a fully finished assembly allows for more freedom and flexibility in the design process. For example, tubular components can be connected to forged structural members, or stamped metal parts can be integrated into weldments to create turnkey products which are fully ready for use or installation.
Flexible Manufacturing Services for Custom Welded Assemblies
Complex welded assemblies come in many shapes, sizes, specifications, and functionalities. These products are commonly manufactured for a variety of different commercial and industrial applications including the automotive sector, agricultural equipment, HVAC components, and consumer appliances, to name a few.
Today’s customers throughout these industries increasingly demand the efficiency of lean manufacturing to remain cost-competitive and to simplify their supply chains. Welded assemblies achieve these goals by streamlining the production of highly complex products which would otherwise require multiple manufacturers and numerous post-production assembly processes.
Combining Multiple Materials and Components
The separate components that make up a complex welded assembly can be made from any variety of materials. Typically, structural components are metals such as steel and aluminum so that they can be welded with high-strength joints. However, plastics, rubbers, and composites can be integrated into the finished assembly as well.
Robotic Welded Assemblies
The actual assembly process requires the use of various specialized welding techniques which are optimized for the required materials and operational application. Modern robotic welding services can automate much of the process, allowing manufacturers to produce highly complex welded assemblies at a much lower price point.
Robotic welding processes also help ensure consistency and repeatability from one product to the next. This is crucial for the manufacturing of highly complex products which demand close tolerances.
