New OCEAN MACHINERY Challenger Robotic Welder | Welding

Description

With the number of skilled welders available in the workforce dwindling, and the cost of recruiting and retaining them rising, NOW is the time to consider a robotic welder.

Typically, a structural steel fabricator spends a substantial amount of time on labor intensive, repetitive operations such as fitting and welding. Imagine how much simpler things would be if any part of this process could be affordably automated – Not only done faster, but also with consistent quality. It would increase output and free up man-power to perform other tasks.

Robotic welding of beams and columns is the next stage of automation. Imagine tacking all your attachments, placing the beam or column at the robotic welding station – hitting start – walking away to tack the next set of attachments, then coming back a short time later to a completed piece.

In the short time that the Challenger has been on the market, we already have customers with multiple Challengers in operation. No one buys a 2nd machine if the first machine doesn’t exceed their expectations!!!!
The Ocean Challenger structural steel robotic welder is designed and built exclusively for Ocean by AGT, world leaders in robotic technologies. It is specifically designed for fabricators looking to increase production output and reduce labor costs. The compact footprint, fast robotic automation and easy to use software makes the Ocean Challenger welding robot the ideal solution for any size shop striving to be more efficient and cost effective.

AUTOMATED: The entire welding process is automated; the Ocean Challenger robotic welder only requires a fitter to tack the parts in place and position the beam or column into the production zone. The Ocean Challenger handles the mundane welding tasks by automatically welding the attachments to your beams and columns, allowing your experienced welders to work on more challenging projects.
FLEXIBLE: The Ocean Challenger is designed for beams and columns up to 40” high, it is compatible with attachments such as angles, stiffeners, gussets, fin plates, base plates, end plates and other standard parts.
EFFICIENT: The Ocean Challenger welding robot is designed to fabricate most steel assemblies and attachments for structural steel, typically able to weld 75% to 95% of all attachments.
QUALITY: Robots are designed to work in harsh conditions for years with minimal maintenance ensuring consistent high-quality and repeatable results.
EASY-TO-USE: Compatible with Tekla & SDS2. Simply export the CAD model to the Ocean Challenger, run the simulation, select the exported simulation file using the Ocean Challenger’s user-friendly interface, load the part and start production!
SAFETY: The Ocean Challenger comes with a laser light curtain that automatically stops the machine when the perimeter is crossed, ensuring operator safety. Meets American ANSI/RIA R15.06-2012, and Canadian CSA Z434-14 safety standards.
SUPPORT: Any issues are handled directly by the experts at AGT. Most problems can be addressed quickly using remote web support with qualified technicians logging in remotely and accessing the machine interface & webcam so they can see what you see. For more complex issues a field technician can be dispatched to ensure you are up and running quickly.
