Meltio Robot Cell – Turnkey 8-Axis Robotic Metal 3D Printing Cell

Large-format metal additive without boundaries: The Meltio Robot Cell integrates W-LMD technology with a 6-axis industrial robot and a 2-axis positioner inside a CE Laser Class 1 enclosure, manufacturing workpieces up to Ø 1,000 × 1,200 mm and 500 kg.

Meltio Robot Cell

8 Synchronized Axes for Complete Geometric Freedom

Coordinated motion between the 6-axis robot and 2-axis positioner maintains ideal flat-position welding orientation throughout the build, preventing molten sag and eliminating support structures.

Turnkey Production Cell

Zero integration complexity: robot, positioner, laser engine, shielding gas management, and safety enclosure arrive factory-calibrated and plug-and-play ready.

500 kg Payload & Ø 1,000 mm Envelope

Produce meter-scale near-net-shape blanks, elbow pipes, and heavy housings with dramatic lead-time and alloy savings versus forgings.

Dual-Wire Capability

Switch between two wire alloys dynamically within a single job – optimal for cladding cost-effective mild steel cores with wear-resistant Inconel surfaces.

CE Laser Class 1 Certified

Fully compliant industrial enclosure with safety interlocks, optical filtering windows, and integrated active fume evacuation.

Deposition Rates up to 2.5 kg/h

High-throughput wire deposition with bead widths between 1 and 2 mm for rapid deposition across large-volume metal structures.

Industrial Robotic Precision

Accurate trajectory control on ABB IRB 4600 robotics delivers repeatable tolerances and industrial uptime for demanding shop floors.

Frequently Asked Questions About Meltio Robot Cell

What is unique about the Meltio Robot Cell?

The Meltio Robot Cell is a turnkey, fully integrated manufacturing cell (Laser Class 1 CE certified). It couples a 6-axis ABB industrial robot with a 2-axis tilt-rotary positioner for synchronized 8-axis support-free deposition on complex freeform geometry.

What part dimensions and weights are supported?

The cylindrical working envelope spans up to Ø 1,000 × 1,200 mm height. The integrated positioner carries heavy workpieces up to 500 kg.

What advantages does the robotic cell offer over powder beds?

The Robot Cell vastly outperforms powder-bed machines in part size and deposition speed, achieving build rates up to 2.5 kg/h with 100% material capture from standard welding wire – without powder handling limits.

Is the Meltio Robot Cell safe for standard production floors?

Yes. The enclosure meets CE Laser Class 1 standards with certified laser-safety windows, interlocked access doors, integrated fume extraction, and gas monitoring, requiring no dedicated laser room.
