This “Cradle ” weldment is just one of four assemblies we make for the MK93 mod-2 machine gun mount used by US Army, US Marine Corps and NATO Countries to secure several small arm weapons like the M2HB .50 Caliber Machine Gun and the MK19 40mm Grenade Launcher to military vehicles, aviation, or maritime platforms.
Due to the tight assembly tolerances and weld requirements, the production process is labor intensive when compared to the size of the part. Laser-cut components of HRPO 4130 steel are formed to print and then robotically welded to create three different sub-assemblies. These are each machined before being robotically welded together. A final machining is required to hold assembly GD&T. The cradle is then phosphated and CARC coated. A variety of inspections take place between the multiple robotic welding stages as well as pre and post machining.
