Using Your Spartan Welder
Program Your Welds in Minutes
No complex coding, no guesswork—just fast, intuitive programming directly from the pendant. The Spartan Welder makes it easy to set up linear, circular, stitch, and pattern welds with just a few simple inputs.
Watch the video to see how quickly you can go from setup to production.
Automated Welding Cells for Flexible Production
Having an extra axis of motion can make all the difference in welding. Traditional 6-axis robots are limited in their range of motion, often struggling to reach certain areas and execute complex welds.
This limitation can result in inefficient workflows and suboptimal weld quality.
We equip our welding cells with 7-axis cobots from Kassow Robots, allowing for greater flexibility, precision, and efficiency.
Expand Your Welding Abilities
Weld in Tight Spaces
7-axis robots can perform highly precise welding, even in extremely narrow spaces where other solutions fall short.
Here you can see the robot maneuver around a constrained workspace. This level of flexibility allows for the cobot welding cell to maintain consistent weld seams throughout a weld. This is critical when working in confined environments or require precision that only a 7-axis robot can provide.
Benefits of an Additional Axis
Flexibility for Complex Welds
One of the main benefits of the seventh axis is the enhanced flexibility. This additional axis allows the robot to reach areas that would be impossible for a traditional 6-axis robot. Whether you’re dealing with tight spaces or intricate weld patterns, the 7th axis provides the extra range of motion needed to navigate and complete complex welds.
Adaptability for Different Tasks
Welding operations often require frequent changes and adjustments. A 7-axis robot’s flexibility makes it easier to adapt to different tasks and work environments. Whether you need to relocate the robot or switch to a different welding application, the 7th axis simplifies these transitions, allowing for quick redeployment and minimal setup time.
Precision & Consistency
With the ability to position the welding torch more with more flexibility, consistent and high-quality welds are ensured every time - minimizing errors and reducing the need for rework.
Obstacle Avoidance
The 7th axis allows the robot to move in ways that a 6-axis robot cannot, effectively reducing collision risks. This not only protects the robot and workpiece but also ensures a smoother workflow.
Workspace Utilization
The 7th axis enables the robot to cover a larger workspace without the need for repositioning. With more welds performed in a single setup, downtime is reduced and throughput is increased.
Customization Options
Once we have a thorough understanding of your needs, we tailor the welding cell to match your specific requirements. Here are some of the customizable options we offer:
- Table Size: Choose from a selection of welding tables with Siegmund table tops with multiple configurations to meet your workpiece specifications. Our high-quality tables provide a stable and precise workspace, essential for achieving top-notch welds.
- Robot Size: Select from five different Kassow Robots sizes, ranging from 850mm to 1800mm reach. This variety allows you to find the ideal robot size for your workspace and welding application, ensuring optimal performance and results.
- Welding Package: Equip your Spartan Welder with the ideal combination of torches, wire feeders, and additional accessories from our extensive range of Fronius welding packages. Tailor your welding package to suit your particular welding process and achieve the best possible results.
- Additional Accessories and Options: Enhance your Spartan Welder experience with a variety of additional accessories and options. These include servo positioners, upgraded torches, advanced wire feeders, and more, all designed to optimize your welding process and maximize productivity.
An Added Layer of Automation
Key Benefits:
- No downtime for tool swaps – Keep production running without stopping to change tools manually.
- Improved precision – The robot maintains accurate positioning when switching between welding and cutting.
- Lower equipment costs – One robotic system handles multiple tasks instead of requiring separate robots.
- Optimized floor space – Reduce the need for multiple workstations by consolidating tasks into one automated cell.
This solution eliminates inefficiencies, helping manufacturers increase throughput while maintaining high-quality welds and cuts.
Cost-Effective Solution
Why Settle for Less?
Despite its advanced capabilities, a 7-axis robot is offered at a similar cost to 6-axis robots. This makes it a cost-effective solution for any welding operation, providing more value without a significant increase in investment. The increased efficiency and reduced errors translate to lower overall production costs, making it an economically sound choice for businesses of all sizes.
The additional axis provides significant advantages in flexibility, precision, productivity, and cost-effectiveness.

Welding Cell Planning FAQs
What determines the price of a cobot welding cell?
Robot reach, welding power source, cooling, torch, table, fixturing, optional equipment, process requirements, and engineering scope determine the final quotation.
Can Spartan review my parts before I buy?
Yes. The configurator accepts STEP or STP models, PDFs, CSV files, images, and video so the team can review weld access, workholding, and production goals.
Can I estimate ROI without every input?
Yes. Most ROI fields are optional. Blank inputs are excluded, and the result remains a planning estimate based on the information provided.
