How the cell works
For aluminum fabrication, the robot's role is usually decided by the fixture: when parts arrive in a repeatable position, the robot can run tack paths, hold pieces for a manual welder, or present assemblies to a positioner.
Each project reviews part tolerance, fixture design, and weld access before a path is proposed. The goal is a station where the robot handles the repeatable motion and the welder or weld package handles the process judgment.
