MOD-WELD® ARC Mate robotic welding cells with fixed table, rotary table, H-frame, Ferris wheel, and headstock/tailstock options for advanced fabrication and training programs.
Mod-Weld Dual Station Ferris Wheel
DSFW-96-120 / DSFW-120-120L
The MOD-WELD® Dual Station Ferris Wheel from APT Manufacturing Solutions is designed for longer parts and high-efficiency robotic welding workflows. Its rotating configuration allows parts to move over the top to the robot, creating a more ergonomic way for operators to load and unload.
For training programs, this system demonstrates how robotic welding cells can be designed around workflow, part handling, and productivity. Students can learn how automation improves throughput while also addressing operator access, ergonomics, and safe production sequencing.
The Ferris Wheel configuration is ideal for advanced fabrication, manufacturing, and workforce programs that want to expose students to production-style robotic welding environments.
- Best for longer parts that benefit from rotating over the top to the robot.
- Improves operator ergonomics during loading and unloading.
- Supports continuous workflow with dual-station production concepts.
- Ideal for teaching production efficiency, part handling, and advanced cell design.
The Ferris Wheel configuration supports continuous workflow, so weld quality, repeatability, and process stability are important for consistent results across repeated cycles.
- Fronius TPS/i: Supports precise process control for advanced automated welding applications.
- Miller Auto-Continuum™: Provides reliable arc performance for cycle-based robotic welding.
