The patented Mini-Shuttle™ by AccuBilt offers a complete “ready-to-weld” shuttle MIG welding system with an incredibly small footprint. Utilizing a compact ceiling mounted 6-axis robot, the usable work envelope is maximized, while minimizing the cell footprint to only 7′ x 10′. Each cell features two 24″ x 34″ tables mounted to pneumatically driven shuttles with a 500 lb capacity. The Mini-Shuttle™ is an economical solution that delivers unmatched productivity with ZERO index time*, making it more efficient than systems with turntables or indexers.
Features & Benefits
Economical
Small Footprint – 7’ x 10’
Unmatched Productivity – ZERO Index Time*
Forklift Portable for Plant Mobility
RIA Safety Standards Compliant
Features a ceiling mounted, compact 6-axis robot
Two 24” x 34” tables with 500 lb capacity offer part flexibility
Mini-Shuttle Advantages
Single load/unload area minimizes operator foot travel compared to fixed table designs
