KRANENDONK is the robot technology centre for non-repetitive production. We take responsibility for engineering, commissioning and maintenance of high-end robot solutions. All our hardware and software is developed in-house, meaning our systems are seamlessly integrated into your production facility.
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.
In today's fast-paced industrial landscape, speed and quality are paramount. Our new Robotic Pipe Shop is specifically designed to meet these demands head-on. From bevel creation for optimal fit-up to consistent, high-quality welds, this solution streamlines processes, reduces errors, and delivers exceptional results, ensuring you stay ahead.
Experience the versatility of the Spool Welding Station, a cutting-edge solution designed to handle a wide range of pipe spool components. From elbows and tees to flanges and reducers, this advanced station empowers you to tackle diverse welding applications with ease.
Robotic panel welding, the smart way. Our panel welding gantry operates on its own. No human setup, no human programming. Valuable production time is saved by automatically letting the robot find their paths, and distributes tasks between them. Fully automatic robot welding of complex one off designs is now available.
Fully automated welding of large hull sections of a ship. Double hull blocks are giant, one-of-a-kind work pieces, with hard to reach spaces. Suspended into this limited places, smart robots work together and weld without colliding.
Making optimal use of the minimal available space in hard to reach spots. A flexible and intelligent solution for continuous robotic welding of complex designs of micro panels and webs in shipbuilding. Make optimal use of the space available in your yard.
Combining robot welding and cutting, for ultimate flexibility. Creating and easy to use and reliable operation. Making optimal use of your limited floorspace with this combined beam and tube cutting cell, saving you hours of valuable time.
The beam welding gantry provides flexible welding of stiffeners and end plates to large sized beams. A travelling portal suspends one or more robots. While the robot is welding on one part, operators can assemble and tack weld beams elsewhere.
Besides the welding of tube to tubesheet connections, KRANENDONK also has supplied complete systems for tube expanding. Such a system is used for rolling of tube to tubesheet connections and the cleaning and end face milling of tubes.
Beam welding cell features on or more robots travelling alongside structural steel beams or even larger structures. Beams can be randomly placed and will be automatically detected by the welding robot. This gives you amazing flexibility.
No truck and trailer shop is the same. Nor are the products being fabricated. We design and engineer custom production lines that handle your continuously changing products. That's efficient automation for trucks and trailers, with 90% reduction in man-hours.
The welding of chassis is a labour intensive job. Robotizing this process reduces production time, increase weld quality and creates a more work friendly environment.
Various robot systems for welding aluminum or steel chassis have been supplied by KRANENDONK. If needed, the option of multi layer welds is added. Since most chassis have to be welded on both sides a product manipulator is used. Due to our smart ARAC software, various product parameters can be imported, so single piece production can be performed.
Since sizes of products differ per customer different solutions for robot extension(tracks, columns and gantries) can be supplied. This means all axis of the robot carriers are controlled by the robot and therefore are able to work together as one coordinated system. An additional working station can be added for increased efficiency of logistics.
Modern trailers are often made out of aluminum tippers. The production of these structures is complicated due to the large products that have to be welded. We have developed a special robotic welding system for this task.

Robotic Beam Constructor automates assembling and welding of structural steel beams. Save hours on manual preparation and welding, and greatly enhance your production flow. Are you ready to bring your structural steel fabrication to the next level?
This solution drastically reduces the time necessary to properly fit and tack-weld stiffeners onto steel plates. The vertical pressure that the cylinders provide on the stiffeners make sure that there are no gaps between the stiffener and the plate blanket when tack welding. Specifically engineered for a large variety of heavy profiles, including built-up profiles with height differences. The design and specifications can be customized to the requirements of the end-user.
The Multi-Process Robot on Track offers unmatched flexibility for the processing of steel parts. The robot uses up to 5 different tools to drill, tap, cut, weld and mark on any steel part. The track is a fully coordinated robot axis, giving the system a large working area.
No more rework! Due to the adaptive milling technology, the Edge Preparation System can achieve a perfect radius by adjusting to plate tolerances. This way you no longer have to worry about bottlenecks in production because of time-consuming rework activities. It contributes to the quality of your product with good coating lifetime.

You can reach maximum productivity in the profile cutting shop, by connecting all processes. We supply tailored profile production lines with smart software that can run day and night.
A reliable solution for your beam production. Accurate cutting for all typical offshore shapes, using a large robot. A durable system, producing razor sharp results in harsh conditions. 30 years of steel cutting experience in one solution.
The combined tube and beam cutting cell is the ultimate solution for flexible offshore construction. A continuous flow of production is achieved as the system is able to proceed cutting while loading or unloading takes place at the other side.
Heat deformation problems when beveling? Not with our plate beveling robot. To cope with heat deformation, we have made an adaptive cutting torch. The KRANENDONK laser DLHC-sensor adapts to the material in real-time. Razor sharp bevels are the result.
Many steel construction companies are confronted with tighter budgets, putting pressure on the production process. Robotic beam processing offers a solution to produce leaner, by replacing multiple traditional machines. The all-in one solution will improve your efficiency and flexibility.
