This move has significantly transformed the company’s production capabilities at its manufacturing facility. With engineering expertise at the centre of daily operations, Albert Jagger takes pride in its commitment to innovation, efficiency, and sustainable growth.
A Strategic Move Towards Automation
As Albert Jagger’s engineering operations expanded, so did the need for increased production capacity. However, creating space for an additional welding bay without affecting the rest of the factory became a challenge. The new robotic system provides a smart, space-efficient solution that increases capacity without requiring major changes to the factory layout.
Compared to traditional welding methods, which carry risks from heat, fumes, and potential injuries, the robotic welding machine reduces these hazards. Its compact design eliminates the need for dedicated large areas, allowing it to be installed anywhere in the factory without disrupting operations.
A Bespoke Solution for Precision and Productivity
The robotic welding machine is a bespoke system designed specifically for Albert Jagger, increasing both productivity and quality. Delivering high-quality MIG welds in a short cycle time, the system has quickly become a crucial asset in the production process. It enables the company to meet growing demand without compromising on quality.
Setting New Benchmarks in Manufacturing
Albert Jagger is setting new benchmarks for quality, accuracy, and safety in precision manufacturing. The automation of repetitive tasks ensures consistency and exceptional precision, reducing human error. Faster production cycles allow the company to shorten lead times, remaining competitive while meeting customer demand.
With increased in-house capabilities, Albert Jagger can now offer more comprehensive services and higher production rates. Operating around the clock, the manufacturing facility can maintain continuous production, even during evenings and weekends, boosting overall efficiency. This productivity supports Albert Jaggers reputation for reliability and responsiveness.
Minimising Defects and Ensuring Consistency
The robotic system’s ability to produce clean, uniform welds reduces the need for rework and minimises defects. This ensures that every single product is manufactured to meet Albert Jagger’s stringent quality standards, in line with its ISO 9001:2015 certification.
By reducing errors made by manual processes, the company has improved both quality control and customer satisfaction by delivering products that meet and exceed expectations.
Prioritising Safety, Efficiency, and Employee Development
Rather than replacing workers, the robotic system is designed to take over dangerous tasks, improving workplace safety and minimising risk. It also cuts downtime, boosts operational efficiency, and reduces material waste.
It was important to Albert Jagger to reassure employees that the technology is here to support, not replace them. The company has invested in upskilling its workforce, training current employees to operate and maintain the new equipment, ensuring continued growth and opening up new opportunities for learning and growth.
Introducing the ARC Mate 100iD
The system features a turntable, welding set, welding wire, and the latest generation ARC welding robot, the ARC Mate 100iD. This six-axis arc welding robot is engineered for compact welding cells, with a sleek, curved design that allows for seamless operation in confined spaces. A hollow arm and wrist enable agile, obstruction-free cable routing.
Advanced motion control and a user-friendly interface enable seamless integration into the production process. Capable of supporting payloads up to 12kg and reaching 1441mm, the ARC Mate 100iD delivers fast, precise welds.
Albert Jagger’s Commitment to Innovation and Growth
As the manufacturing industry continues to move towards automation and AI, Albert Jagger recognises the importance of staying ahead of technical advancements. With the growth of artificial intelligence and continued developments in automation, the company is committed to strengthening its operations and adapting to the changing demands of the manufacturing landscape.
