This was cool. A fully automated robot welder ! Similar to the ones that build the stang on the assembly lines. Mustang control arms are put into a moving holder for welding. Different kinds of parts can be made with the robot.

 

The robot welds the parts automatically. At Mustangworld some of us are robot arm enthusiasts (we're nerds) so this was a neat show for us :-)

 

When finished, they are laid on the palette for powder coating and bushing assembly.

 

This is a computerized mandrel tube bending machine. It can bend heavy wall pipes with precision and OEM accuracy. BBK calls their headers, h-pipe and other exhaust parts "CNC Series" to note this quality method of creation.

 

The CNC bent pipes are then laid into holders like this. This one is for an h-pipe. There are others for headers, etc.

 

Skilled welders then assemble the headers, h-pipes and other parts.

 

Each and every part is then pressure checked in a testing area to ensure that there are no leaks. The machine above puts pressure inside the header and an operator checks for leaks on a gauge.
