Why Choose Autoa-Steelweld?

Structural Steel Welding Simplified.

As labour costs rise and skilled welders become harder to find, Autoa-SteelWeld gives fabricators a simpler, more efficient way to stay productive. It streamlines repetitive welding tasks, reduces bottlenecks and helps maintain consistent quality across a growing workload.

Powered by AutoaWeld Software and servo-controlled rotators, it enables fully autonomous welding of even complex assemblies — from cleats and stiffeners to base plates. Whether you’re scaling up production or stabilising output with a smaller team, Autoa-SteelWeld is built to take pressure off your workshop and simplify structural steel welding from start to finish.

It’s a proven way to boost output, reduce overhead, and bring consistency to every weld — no matter the scale or complexity.

the process

Robot Welding Engineered For Structural Steel.

The process starts with a 3D model created in Tekla or similar software, which is then uploaded into AutoaWeld, Autoa’s robot programming software. AutoaWeld determines the optimal weld paths and generates detailed reports on time, accuracy and efficiency.

The operator loads the pre-tacked weldment into the rotators, runs the program, and initiates the welding cycle. A built-in laser sensor verifies weldment placement before welding begins, alerting the operator if realignment is needed. Once welding is complete, the robot resets to home position, ready for the next cycle.

This fully integrated process handles both simple and complex assemblies with ease — reducing errors, maintaining quality and improving overall throughput. By automating every critical step, Autoa-SteelWeld boosts productivity, minimises downtime and delivers reliable, repeatable results across every job.
