Custom-engineered welding cell protection for hybrid manual/robot cells, multi-station weld lines, non-standard equipment layouts, and applications where standard screen and partition systems can't address the combination of arc hazards, part flow, and cell geometry in your facility. Modular Solutions works from your cell layout and welding process requirements to engineer a system aligned with OSHA 1910.252 and ANSI Z49.1.

Standard welding screens and four-sided partition kits work well for straightforward manual welding bays. Complex cells require an engineered approach from the start.
Cells where manual and robotic welding share a floor zone require coordinated protection for both robot motion hazards (interlocked guards per ANSI/RIA R15.06) and welding hazards (UV, spatter, fumes per OSHA 1910.252) in the same system.
Multi-station weld lines with continuous UV and spatter exposure zones, multiple operator access points, and product pass-through openings require a line-level partition design rather than individual cell screens stacked together.
Cells with large rotary positioners, headstock/tailstock systems, or multi-axis weld fixtures have rotation envelopes and loading clearances that standard four-sided partitions can't accommodate without custom sizing and access provisions.
Unusual machine geometries, equipment with hazard zones on multiple sides, and imported welders without standard footprints require partition systems designed around the equipment — not forced to fit a standard panel module.
Complex cells often require fume extraction designed into the partition system — overhead canopy mounts, extraction arm brackets, duct routing provisions, and ceiling track systems coordinated with the cell partition frame layout.
Modular aluminum framing is bolted at T-slot joints — not welded. As welding cells evolve with equipment upgrades or production changes, partition systems can be modified, extended, or repurposed rather than replaced.
Custom weld cell systems from Modular Solutions are fully engineered from your cell layout and process requirements through fabrication and documentation.
We work from CAD files, cell layout drawings, equipment photos, and field measurements. No existing documentation? We conduct a site assessment to gather the data needed for an accurate cell protection design.
Cell protection geometry is developed in 3D and reviewed with you before fabrication — confirming panel placement around equipment, access door locations, strip door positions, and fume extraction routing.
Shade ratings, FR vinyl grades, panel infill materials, and frame finishes are selected to match your specific welding process — MIG, TIG, plasma, spot, or multi-process — and the hazard distances in your cell layout.
For hybrid and robotic cells, we design interlock provisions and provide wiring specifications for coordination with robot controllers, weld timer I/O, and facility safety relay systems.
Every custom weld cell system ships with a full documentation package: CAD files, bill of materials, assembly drawings, shade rating specifications, and interlock wiring diagrams for your safety and maintenance files.
Urgent OSHA 1910.252 compliance needs and pre-audit timelines can be accommodated with expedited engineering. Contact us with your timeline and process requirements to discuss fast-track options.
Custom weld cell systems from Modular Solutions are specified when standard welding screen and partition products cannot address the full scope of the application.
Representative system parameters — all specifications are fully custom-engineered to your welding process, equipment, and cell layout.
A custom weld cell application is one where standard screen and partition templates cannot address the layout, process, or hazard combination. Common examples include hybrid manual/robot cells sharing a floor zone, multi-station weld lines with irregular part flow, positioner-heavy cells with large rotation envelopes, and equipment with unusual geometry that standard four-sided partitions can't close out.
Yes. Hybrid cells require coordinated protection addressing both robot motion hazards (ANSI/RIA R15.06 interlocked guards) and welding hazards (OSHA 1910.252 UV and spatter containment) in the same floor space. Modular Solutions engineers hybrid cell systems with defined zones for each operation and coordinated interlock logic.
Multi-station weld lines require continuous UV and spatter protection across the line with individual operator access provisions at each station. Modular Solutions designs shared perimeter partition systems with station-specific screen configurations, strip door provisions at material pass-throughs, and fume extraction routing integrated into the partition frame.
Yes. Modular aluminum framing is bolted, not welded. Partition sections disconnect at T-slot joints and panels can be removed, relocated, or replaced as cell layouts evolve. This protects your investment when equipment is upgraded, added, or repositioned.
Simple custom configurations can be engineered in days. Complex hybrid cells or multi-station line systems may take 1-3 weeks. We provide a lead time estimate after initial scoping. Contact us with your cell layout, equipment types, and process details to get started.
