Precision-Engineered Tooling Fixtures
AMS welders are designed to maximize accuracy and efficiency in every welding operation. Our tooling fixtures provide:
- Secure & Repeatable Clamping – Ensures parts are firmly positioned on datum surfaces for consistent weld quality.
- Adjustability – X-Y-Z adjustments are achieved via NAAMS-style shims, allowing for fine-tuning of part positioning.
- Presence Sensing – All parts are verified before welding begins, preventing errors and ensuring process integrity.
The system is powered by a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) for seamless
machine operation and monitoring. Operators can access:
- Fault diagnostics for quick troubleshooting
- Process parameters to ensure precision
- Maintenance and production counters for tracking efficiency
- Manual control options through an intuitive HMI operator interface
- Light-touch run button for effortless operation.
Every AMS weld cell is fully assembled, programmed, and tested in our facility before shipment. Our team will handle on-site installation and setup, including:
✔ Reassembling and securing all machine components
✔ Leveling, aligning, and anchoring the equipment
✔ Powering up and running full diagnostics
✔ Conducting equipment trials and final testing
