Incircioglu welds fans automatically with CLOOS

Haiger/Istanbul – The high quality fans by Incircioglu Ltd. Lti. are employed in many different industrial applications. Recently, Incirciogluinvested in a new robot welding system by the German welding technology specialist Carl Cloos Schweisstechnik GmbH. The new automated system improved the production processes and welding quality considerably.

The Turkish family-owned company Incircioglu is specialised in the development and production of industrial high efficiency radial, axial and portable fans and various types of filter units. The main production site of 9,000 square meters is located in Muratli/Tekirdag, where 50 people are employed. In addition, 25 employees work in the head office of Incircioglu in Istanbul. Although their main target market is located in Turkey, Incircioglu generates more than 20 percent of their revenue internationally.

The new welding system by Cloos consists of two stations with a 7-axis robot of type QRC-E 410, which is fixed on a high robot base. Here, steel as well as stainless steel fans are welded automatically. The fans are available in many different sizes, while the sheet thickness varies from 2 to 15 mm. “We decided to invest in the Cloos robot system, as they are widely known for their premium highquality welding technologies”, says Assistant General Manager Erdal A. Incircioglu.

7-axis robot facilitates workpiece accessibility

The wide range of the 7-axis robot facilitates and accelerates the welding process of the complex workpieces. The workpiece positioner QR-WP-TV with vertical rotation has a faceplate mounted at 90°. The workpiece which is fixed onto this faceplate can be rotated into the optimum process position by a horizontal turning axis. This is how positions which are difficult to access are reached.
