GMAW (Mig) robotic welding cells have been used by Lou-Rich for over two decades, and have played a major role in improving welding processes. GMAW (Gas Metal Arc Welding), also known as Mig robotic welding cells, are specialized automated systems that integrate robotic technology with GMAW welding processes. These cells consist of robotic arms or

We recently added a new lathe to our Lou-Rich Front Street facility. The new Doosan Puma 2600SY II is a twin spindle, single turret lathe and has a 10-inch main and an 8-inch sub. It offers us more opportunity to automate larger diameter parts and will allow us to streamline our setups. The new

Many Lou-Rich customers know we provide fabrication, welding, and machining solutions – but some customers may not be as familiar with our assembly capabilities. Did you know Lou-Rich has a dedicated assembly team that can assemble anything ranging from small medical devices to large all-terrain vehicle frames? We manufacture assemblies for a variety of

At Lou-Rich we have a cutting-edge 8 stage wash and paint system that can handle a wide variety of powder coat paints. With finishes ranging from textured to semi-gloss, rest assured our industrial powder coating experts will get your project finished just the way you need it. Paint line department supervisor, Joe McBeain says,

This year, Lou-Rich has budgeted 3.3 million dollars for capital investments in 2022. Some of this year’s budget will go towards updating our current infrastructure and rearranging some of our equipment and workflows. However, most of the 3.3 million will be spent on purchasing new equipment for our various facilities to increase product quality, capacity,

The Haas VF5SS Axis Vertical Mill recently replaced one of our older 4 axis machines. This new machine has the capacity for 51 tools, which means we can virtually eliminate set-up times for recurring parts on this machine, and in turn, reduce lead times. The Haas VF5 also has a higher

We’re increasing our production capabilities with the addition of a new laser to the Lou-Rich facility. We’ve recently purchased and installed a BySmart Fiber 3015; Fiber 10-kilowatt laser and added it to our arsenal of manufacturing equipment. This new laser has 10kw of power and will be replacing two Mazak CO2 laser cutting machines. This

The Genesis Versa 2H robotic welding workcell is a two-station system that consists of a Fanuc robot mounted on a servo driven linear track. This workcell has the ability to accommodate large tool lengths and a high weight capacity. The mounted track allows the robot to access larger parts that need weldments. Lou-Rich utilizes

Lou-Rich Electronic Material Tracking Process This past year Lou-Rich implemented an electronic material movement tracking process at the 505 Front Street location. This new process will track material movements from point A to point B. Similar to a road atlas, our plant’s location numbering scheme is based on a building location layout. The sections of

One of nearly 50 machining centers, the DMG Mori NHX 6300 is a high performance machine center that allows us to machine aluminum, cast iron and stainless steel.
