Mini-Shuttle™

Mini in Size, BIG in Productivity!

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
  • ZERO index time*, unlike cells incorporating a turntable or indexer (>2.5 seconds per index)
  • Fully assembled and wired, simply set in place with a forklift, connect the input power, and begin welding. Easy plug & play setup!

    * When load time is less than weld time
