Automated Welding Solutions for SANO Transportgeräte

This document is a case study detailing the implementation of the TruArc Weld 1000 automated welding cell at SANO Transportgeräte GmbH. Founded in 1989, SANO specializes in the development of stairclimbers and mobile electric transport solutions for heavy loads and individuals with restricted mobility. The company sought an automation solution to enhance the efficiency of producing safety-relevant series parts while simplifying the welding process for technicians without programming expertise. The TruArc Weld 1000 was chosen for its ease of operation, allowing untrained personnel to reload the machine after initial setup. The case study outlines the benefits of the welding cell, including consistent quality of weld seams and the ability to handle complex parts. It also discusses the integration of virtual training for immediate operation and the advantages of two-station operation for processing small parts. The document concludes with a forecast for future growth and increased automation in SANO's production processes.
