Konya is the agricultural machinery capital of Türkiye. Plows, seeders, trailers and combine chassis produced here are exported to Europe, the Middle East and Africa. Welding for agricultural machinery requires high volumes, short cycle times and durable results. ArmaWeld supplies welded manufacturing services to OEMs and tier suppliers in Konya.
1. Steels Used in Agricultural Machinery
Agricultural equipment usually relies on S355 structural steel, HARDOX 450/500 wear plate and special heat-treated alloys. Wear plates are HARDOX while frame structures are produced from S355 J2 or S420. These different material families require different WPS and consumable strategies.
2. Serial Production Strategies
- Robotic welding: high repeatability for identical chassis or sub-parts
- Fixtures/jigs: reduce tolerance and cycle time
- Synergic MIG/MAG: reduces operator dependency
- In-cell quality control: VT on every part plus sampled NDT
3. Typical Agricultural Machinery Components
| Component | Material | Process |
|---|---|---|
| Chassis frame | S355 J2 | MAG (135) |
| Wear plates | HARDOX 450/500 | FCAW (136) + preheat |
| Tube/profile | S275 / S355 | MAG (135) |
| Plow shares | Boron steel | SMAW (111) repair |
| Cabin | S235 / S275 | MAG / robot |
4. ArmaWeld Agricultural Machinery Capacity
At the Konya OIZ facility, ArmaWeld produces thousands of chassis and wear parts annually for agricultural machinery. Robotic welding cells and calibrated fixtures deliver high repeatability. Per customer quality requirements, delivery is made to EN ISO 5817 quality level B or C, with surface blasting and electrostatic powder coating included under the same roof.
