Robotic welding, cutting, assembly and production automation solutions in heavy steel processing industries.
We offer high-end automation solutions for the shipbuilding industry. With smart robotics, we automate welding and cutting processes throughout the shipyard.
We have built a strong reputation in offshore and energy construction automation. Following the success of our world-class beam cutting lines, we improve key processes at leading offshore and energy construction yards around the world.
We are leading the robotic revolution in structural steel. KRANENDONK delivers highly connected and adaptive robot lines, which can handle your one-piece production flow.
The designs of bridges, stadiums, truck trailers etc. are moving away from standard designs towards production on demand. This requires a smart factory that is ready for the future. We deliver integrated production lines that deliver this manufacturing flexibility.
Buying and installing a production system is the start, but it is years of reliable production that make the difference. We assists operational and maintenance managers with keeping production at top-level. This is done with inspections and spare-parts, but also with training programs. Our service engineers are strategically stationed around the globe, to quickly respond to any problem.
In order to keep providing innovative solutions and keep our technology updated, we have our own in-house KRANENDONK academy. All our engineers are continuously learning the knowledge needed to develop new solutions. We keep close partnerships with ABB, Fronius and ESAB and we continuously test new technologies in our testing facility.
Robots are fast and accurate tools, but here is one deficit: you have to tell them exactly what to do. This can take up a lot of manual programming time. We take away all robot programming overhead with smart software, making them easy to use and more versatile.
Traditionally, robots are used for repetitive tasks. At Kranendonk, we make the opposite possible. Our robot lines are designed for non-repetitive production, tailored to industries where products are never the same. This opens a world of automation opportunities for manufacturers.
From the start, we saw the potential of industrial robotics. Robots were accurate and quick, but lacked efficient control software. We solved this by developing smart sensors and software and quickly became a renowned international player. Over the years, our robot lines and software merged to integrated solutions that are able to control full production plants.
Your productivity has to improve every year to maintain a competitive edge. But, you face so many challenges and opportunities every day that it can be hard to identity where to begin. We can assist you. Over the years, we have optimized the work flow of nearly 300 fabricators in the manufacturing industry.

International health and safety organizations have recognized the importance of protecting workers from welding fumes. As a result, strict exposure limits have been implemented. These regulations are more stringent for certain materials such as stainless steel. Nevertheless, weld fume from mild steel is now considered carcinogenic.
Finally, after more than 1.5 years of social distancing and working from home, it was time for our yearly company event again. In the morning we moved back to our normal workplaces and in the afternoon we we aimed for the future together.
Shanghai Waigaoqiao Shipbuilding Co. Ltd invests in 4 panel welding gantries. The thin-plate plane assembly line is an important process equipment for the final assembly of China's first large cruise ships. The demand for welding automation provides a guarantee for the modernization of the shipyard's technological equipment.
This article (in Dutch) recently featured in a renowned Dutch welding magazine. It describes the need for smaller shipyards in the Netherlands to automate the welding processes and to produce more efficient. The Artemis Micro Welding Gantry can help improve the competitive position of Dutch shipyards.
The special delivery of this 26 meter long and 18 ton heavy welding gantry beam marks the beginning of a special project. Robotic welding of heavy steel offshore oil platform decks with adaptive welding technology.
Automated robotic welding system with 1 or 2 robots, specially designed for the automated welding of profiles, micro panels, sub assemblies and T-beams. Boosts production and optimizes product quality and shopfloor safety.
