There are many items that can impact this answer... What is wire type and diameter ? What are the weld requirements with respect to penetration ? What is the chemistry of the steel ? Armor plate, cold roller, etc ?

25~30 ipm is not unreasonable. Consider 1/16" metalcore wire to increase the deposition rate. Motoman is the leader in robotic arc welding. Visit www.motoman.com for more info, or feel free to contact me directly at 937.287.5060. Erik Nieves
