No experience (yet) with CNC, but more than a little with full automatic
welding setups.

First place I would look, for ideas anyway, is

http://www.bugo.com/

(not a shareholder, just a user of some of their gear). I would be happy to
answer any specific questions you have, but I would suggest direct email may
be more appropriate. Alternatively, you may want to post the same question
on the newsgroup sci.engr.joining.welding

One possible pitfall is the work moving while welding. You want to get the
fixturing right, for a run that length.
