Robot technology centre for non-repetitive production

Robot Technology Centre for Shipyard Automation

KRANENDONK is the Robot Technology Centre for advanced shipyard automation. With a range of innovative robotics and machines, we automate key parts in the process chain. We continuously focus on improving the shipbuilding production flow, by developing complete and integrated solutions. A KRANENDONK consultant will assist you with the optimal production flow and cycle times. In this way, we automate complete profile shops, pipe shops and welding shops.

Profile Cutting Lines that maximize your flow in profile processing

KRANENDONK supplies complete solutions for profile processing. By integrating plasma cutting robots, marking, printing and grinding, we enable maximum output of the profile cutting line. Productivity is further increased with smart logistical software and hardware, e.g. our intelligent high-rise storage. The plasma cutting robot enables fast 3D profiling and is directly linked to CAD.

Complete Pipe Spool production solutions with robotic flange assembly

The Robotic Pipe Shop gives an enormous boost in your pipe spool production. Our Pipe Shop solution involves complete automation of all units: pipe storage, pipe sawing, grinding, flange assembly and pipe welding. Our robots are equipped with vision cameras to perform flange assembly and flange welding within tight tolerances. By integrating logistics and software, we optimize your pipe spool fabrication.

Robot Welding Lines for web welding and micro panel welding

Our Robot Welding Lines for welding of webs and micro panels offer high production flexibility, because all programming tasks are automated. Both straight-forward and very complex panel designs can be welded on the same line, without any need for manual setup or programming. The robot welding line boosts productivity and quality in your welding shops.

Robotic Double Hull Welding of 3D blocks offers intelligent robot welding

The KRANENDONK Double Hull Welding Line is the most flexible robot welding solution for shipyard automation. All robot programming is fully automated by the RinasWeld software; therefore there are no limitations to what can be welded. Two or more robots are suspended over the block and move independently. We use small robots that can reach the tightest spaces of double hull sections. RinasWeld software takes care of automatic programming and control.
