Real-World Manufacturing Experience

Kawasaki has a long history of manufacturing high quality metal fabrications for a wide range of industries. In order to efficiently and cost effectively address global market demands, extensive research, development, and resources have gone into Kawasaki's automation of fabrication processes for ships, bridges, trains, aerospace components, recreation vehicles, industrial and construction equipment, as well as numerous other Kawasaki products.

Technology & Process Expertise

Since beginning in robotic automation, more than four decades ago, Kawasaki has had a strong interest in arc welding and related metal fabrication processes. Kawasaki’s continuous focus to advance its own manufacturing methods has led to major improvements in robotic arc welding technology, techniques, and quality, as well as other robotic welding, joining and cutting solutions for metal fabrication. The ability to develop, refine, and implement automation processes, before they are ever offered to our robotics customers, has enabled Kawasaki Robotics to become a leader in metal fabrication automation solutions.

Proven Implementation Experience

Today, Kawasaki Robotics supports applications such as arc welding, laser welding and cladding, thick section resistance welding, friction spot joining, plasma cutting, and laser cutting with standard packaged solutions and custom turnkey systems. Arc welding applications range from basic lap joints to real-time adaptive fill. Our customers appreciate superior technology, process knowledge, proven reliability, and 24-hour technical assistance.
