AGT Robotics is the world leader for robust automated welding systems. With its advanced Cortex automation software and SNAPCAM vision system customers can automate in situations that were previously impossible and/or too time consuming. With up to 10-axis of movement BLOK-HEAVY systems are capable of reaching deep into restrictive and complex geometries.
AGT Robotics BLOK-HEAVY 400 & 500 series welding systems integrate multi-axis axis mobility, intelligent auto-programming, and built-in seam tracking. This engineered platform delivers the high-speed throughput of standard automation combined with the extreme precision and multi-geometry adaptability required for complex heavy fabrication.
AGT Robotics BLOK-HEAVY 400 & 500 series welding systems maximize manufacturing efficiency by combining fully automated Cortex programming with precision plunging Z-axis and SnapCam 3D vision system. This allows operators to consolidate multiple fabrication steps, eliminate manual path teaching, and cut production time significantly compared with standard manual cells.

A: The BLOK-HEAVY system is powered by Cortex Prime software, which reads weld information directly from your CAD files to generate complete robot programs and welding paths automatically in just a few clicks without manual path teaching.
A: These modular cells are engineered for oversized and heavy assemblies, with specific configurations like the BLOK 500 accommodating massive parts up to 45 feet long and handling positioner capacities of up to 25,000 pounds.
A: The Cortex batch processing engine enables profitable automated welding even for unique, one-off parts and high-mix workflows by instantly adapting programs with little to no human intervention.
A: The system features a specialized plunging Z-axis and multi-axis movement capability that allows the welding column to lower and reach deep into intricate or confined areas of heavy machinery components.
A: It integrates a SnapCam 3D joint detection system alongside laser-finding routines that locate joints in real time and accurately place welds despite minor assembly or tolerance errors.
A: The BLOK architecture uses pre-engineered building blocks that allow you to configure dual zones, add floor tracks, or integrate headstock-tailstock positioners tailored precisely to your evolving workflow.
A: By automating multi-pass welding on thick sections and running autonomously, shops frequently see lead times drop dramatically from weeks down to a matter of days while freeing up capacity for new contracts.
