Solutions

MacGregor Welding Systems offers clients the choice of purpose built integration and part handling systems. The welding systems are designed, based upon customer and process requirements, and provide a tailored solution for industry.

Automation projects are defined by cooperative value engineering. This allows the customer to actively define the welding system requirements and design focus to be influenced by these requirements. The use of design validation and process development and testing is conducted throughout the project to ensure the system provides the required value and efficiency. For data, click here
