Designed specifically for structural steel fabrication, Autoa-SteelWeld is built to handle large, complex, and varied steel assemblies that fall well beyond the scope of standard robotic welding cells.

The system adapts to a wide range of structural steel components, including truss weldments, RHS and SHS sections, and beams incorporating end plates, cleats, web stiffeners, base plates, and other connection details commonly found in structural fabrication.

Autoa-SteelWeld is engineered to maintain consistent weld quality across diverse part profiles, joint configurations, and material sizes. Whether producing repeat components in volume or managing project-based fabrication with frequent changeovers, the system delivers controlled, repeatable welds without sacrificing flexibility. This makes it well suited to structural steel workshops that must balance throughput with variation.

Powered by AutoaWeld software, Autoa-SteelWeld enables efficient offline programming and weld planning for structural components, reducing setup time and reliance on specialist robot programmers. Fabricators can adapt quickly to changing drawings, part geometries, and job requirements while maintaining predictable weld quality and production output.

By combining structural-ready mechanical design with intelligent software-driven welding, Autoa-SteelWeld allows fabricators to automate demanding structural welds with confidence. The result is improved consistency, reduced rework, increased capacity, and a robotic welding solution purpose-built for real-world structural steel fabrication.

Autoa-SteelWeld includes a powered rotator system built to securely position structural steel components for optimal welding access. Capable of handling long beams, trusses and large welded assemblies, the rotator delivers precise, controlled movement to maintain weld access and consistency across every face.

• Payload Capacity: Up to 3000kg per side.
• Rotation Range: 360° rotation for full weld access.
• Tilting Motion: Optional tilt axis available for angled positioning.
• Clamping Options: Customisable jaws and support fixtures to suit different part profiles.
• Control Integration: Fully controlled through AutoaWeld software interface.
• Safety Features: Built-in limits and slow-start control for operator safety.

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.

AutoaWeld is the intelligent programming software behind Autoa-SteelWeld, simplifying structural steel welding with fast setup, fewer errors, and consistent results. Operators can easily create, modify, and execute precise weld paths with minimal training, helping teams get up to speed quickly and keep production moving.

It integrates seamlessly with Tekla Structures and SolidWorks, allowing direct import of models and eliminating much of the manual programming effort. Built-in weld libraries and adaptive sequencing generate accurate weld paths automatically, even for complex assemblies like cleats, stiffeners, and base plates.

By streamlining the entire programming process, AutoaWeld helps structural steel manufacturers reduce downtime, improve output, and maintain weld quality across every job.
