AORE A-W7 and A-W7 Pro Robotic Welding Workstations
The A-W7 is a seven-axis robotic welding workstation on a floor track, with 3D vision and offline programming, for large steel fabrications. The A-W7 Pro carries the robot on an inverted L-shaped cantilever, widening the working envelope to 2600 mm for larger box sections and plate assemblies.
Welds are produced to programmed parameters without point-by-point teaching, and skilled welders are released from repetitive work.
Key features
Reach for large fabrications
An enclosed floor-track layout with a 16 m X-axis, an 18000 x 1200 mm working envelope and 2010 mm robot reach covers crane girders, stiffened plates, brackets and bridge components. Most large workpieces are welded without repositioning.
3D vision finds the weld seam
The vision system reads weld position and angle before welding starts. Parts that are not seated exactly where the program expects are corrected automatically, absorbing normal variation in fabricated assemblies.
Program jobs away from the robot
Weld programs are built offline from an imported 3D model while the workstation keeps producing. Toolpaths, seam extraction and process parameters are generated in one click, and real-time arc tracking holds the weld on the joint.
Welding procedures ready to apply
The process library covers flat, flat fillet, horizontal, vertical-up and vertical-down welds. Proven parameters are matched to each programmed joint, holding weld appearance and penetration consistent across repeat work.
Several ways to build the job model
Programming accepts imported 3D models, reverse-modelled scans, 2D drawings converted to 3D, and parametric models for T-bar, H-beam and other standard sections. Tekla assemblies break down into individual parts in one click, and vision-assisted location lets parts be placed freely.
Modular workstation, faster to install
The layout is configured to workpiece size and multi-station production from standard modules. Site assembly and commissioning are shorter than for a fully customised fixed cell.
Digital twin for program and production visibility
A digital representation of the workstation links the programmed model to the physical weld. Seam extraction, robot movement and production status are reviewed before and during the job, so faults are identified before they become rework.
A-W7 Pro cantilever and teachless operation
The A-W7 Pro carries the robot on a patented inverted L-shaped cantilever, widening the working envelope to 18000 x 2600 mm for medium and large workpieces. It plans weld paths automatically without teaching or programming, so operators need only basic training.

Would robotic welding suit your work?
The A-W7 is specified for fabrication where the same joint types are welded repeatedly and welder availability is the constraint. Suitability is assessed from joint types, workpiece sizes and volumes at quotation.
