The article focuses on the significant aspects of metal active gas (MAG) narrowing gap welding in the operation of Siemens AG. It notes that the use of narrow gap welding improves the company's production efficiency and the working environment for employees. It adds that the company is collaborating with the welding specialists Cloos Robotic Welding Inc. to develop a special narrow gap blade to manage the robotics. It also discusses the installation of a complex robot welding plant by Siemens.

The article offers information on the efficiency obtained by Apparate Maschinen Systeme Technology GmbH (AMS), a stainless steel processor in Limbach-Oberfrohna, Germany, from using plasma cutting robot in Cloos plant. It says that AMS reduce into four hours the two days of manual work hours required in the metal cutting process. Sigfrid Frenzel says that the technology offers accuracy and maximum longitudinal cut tolerance of 1 millimeter (mm). INSET: AMS - High quality stainless steel container.

The article offers information on the welding process of SMW. It says that the company is preparing the course for the future with "Rapid Weld" process from Cloos company, in which the process distinguishes with short production and low spatter seam results. It mentions that the "Rapid Weld" high performance welding process indicates its advantages with mid to thick wall steels, where optimum penetration depths and high deposition rates are required.

The article reports on the use by Ridge Tool Co. of the Z-series compact cells from Cloos for its welding processes. Herbert Lorbach, Ridge Tool's works director, comments on the cells. It states that the cells have a robot that is controlled by Rotrol, the robot control of Cloos, and all components are surrounded by protective housing.

The article focuses on the production cell composed of welding and handling robots and torch carriers being installed at SSI Schäfer in 2010. It says that both handling robots in the production cell track guide the attachment plates to the profile where they are synchronously welded by four robots. It adds that the production plan can be considered as an economical success with the constant production quality and high output.
