As its production of specialist containers for the defence sector expanded, Zamet Głowno faced the challenge of optimising the welding process for large structures. To meet these requirements, we designed and implemented a modular welding table system CUBEWELD. The modern welding station was tailored to the specific requirements of military container production.
The challenge: welding large structures while maintaining production flexibility
Military container production involves machining and welding large structural components. For projects of this kind, unrestricted access to every work area and the ability to position welded components precisely are essential.
Another important requirement was the ability to adapt the station quickly to different versions of the components being produced. Our client needed a solution that combined structural stability and welding-station ergonomics with rapid adaptation to changing requirements. Reducing changeover times and increasing efficiency without expanding the machine fleet were also important considerations.
The CUBE Engineering solution: a modular welding table system as part of the production process
We began the welding-station project for Zamet Głowno with a detailed analysis of the production process, technical documentation and the operators’ actual working conditions. This enabled us to create a solution tailored precisely to the production of large structures.
The key element of the implementation was the modular welding table system CUBEWELD, which provides high rigidity and stability for clamped components. In processes such as welding large structures, even small deviations can affect the quality of the finished product. A properly designed welding station is therefore crucial to the accuracy and repeatability of the work carried out.
CUBEWELD welding tables CUBEWELD are made from DURONEX 1200 steel, which offers excellent resistance to mechanical deformation and intensive use. We also protected the work surface with a NitriCorr coating, which effectively guards it against corrosion and the adverse effects of a demanding production environment. This combination of materials ensures the station remains durable for many years.
Welding-station ergonomics and operator comfort
Improving working ergonomics was one of the project’s key objectives. The arrangement of the clamping points and the system’s modular design provide convenient access to every part of the structures being welded.
Operators can therefore complete each operation more quickly and precisely without having to adopt uncomfortable working positions. This improves comfort while also raising weld quality and the efficiency of the entire production process.
Rapid station reconfiguration for different production variants
One of the greatest advantages of the implemented solution is the ability to reconfigure the station in moments. The modular welding table system CUBEWELD makes it possible to adapt the clamping layout quickly to different component types, from floor sections to container frames. This allows the company to respond flexibly to changing production needs and reduces the cost of downtime. Crucially, changing the configuration does not require additional stations or time-consuming modifications to existing infrastructure.
Results of the implementation
Implementing the modular welding table system CUBEWELD delivered a range of organisational and technological benefits for the client:
– a more efficient process for welding large structural sections,
– improved operator ergonomics,
– better access to weld locations,
– shorter station changeover and reconfiguration times,
– greater production flexibility,
– highly repeatable operations,
– station stability and durability even under intensive use.

The Zamet Głowno implementation shows that a properly designed modular welding table system can become an important part of the production process. It increases production efficiency, improves operator comfort and helps maintain high welding quality even on the most demanding projects.
A similar implementation can be based on ready-made CUBEWELD welding table sets or on the base product CUBEWELD ULTIMATE 28. For larger projects, it is worth contacting a technical adviser.
