Large robotic welding cells

Standard solutions to tackling large, complex, and high-mix parts.

Powerful robotic welding systems engineered for performance. Orion’s large robot welding cells bring Panasonic’s 45+ years of welding robotics expertise to Australian and NZ manufacturers

Optimised cell access for easy operation and loading

Loading and unloading of large parts or jigs is simple with a large cell entrance, and a steel sliding door for side access for programming and maintenance.

Highly capable, fully integrated robots designed for welding.

Using Panasonic’s dedicated welding robot manipulators and integrated welding power source, and options for MIG or TIG, this system is flexible to suit your specific needs.

Harmonised movement options for large parts and part manipulation

By using Panasonic’s servo motor systems and integrated rotators, it’s possible to perform welds on large or complex parts where it’s a requirement for the part and/or robot to move whilst welding to maintain the ideal welding position.

Our international partnerships ensure tested, reliable and world-class solutions for large format robot welding systems

Orion’s direct partnership with world-leading integrator of Panasonic robots, Valk Welding, enables us to provide the Australian and New Zealand market with large-scale robot welding systems and advanced welding technology that not only outperforms the competition, but does so reliably using tried and tested, standardised technologies and mechanics engineered by Valk Welding.

Program your parts remotely using Panasonic’s DTPS offline programming software

Programming of large and complex parts can be done off-line, meaning the robot system can continue production while programming happens on a digital copy of the system on a computer.

This improves programming speed and robot arc-on time, as well as enabling your team to test production viability of parts on the robot system using CAD files before physical parts arrive.

World-class system calibration, combined with seam finding technologies like touch sensing, ensure that the programs made in DTPS can be sent straight into real-world production with confidence.

This option is essential for large systems to maximise your productivity, and enables the use of robotic welding even on high-mix, low volume production runs.
