Overview
Robot portals for ship panels and blocks
Robotic welding has changed ship panel welding, bringing efficiency, precision and safety to the yard. PEMA VRWP portals automate panel and block fabrication for shipyards, from single-piece work to high-volume production.
The compact VRWP-C handles flat micro panels with stiffeners and Tees up to 800 mm, with a 5 m working width and a working length that grows in 6 m modules. The VRWP-R2 / R2C adds a rotating beam with two robots for double fillet welding in any direction, on panels with stiffeners up to 1000 mm and a nominal working width of 3 to 6 m that can be extended.
For larger work, the single-arm VRWP-S / SH covers wide areas and higher assemblies, and the VRWP-X2 series carries up to four robots, each with an extra X2 axis for a longer reach in block fabrication. The dimensions of these portals are engineered to the product to be welded.
