Yaskawa, technology supplier with a global operation specialising in robotics and control technology, is teaming up with Lorch Schweißtechnik, one of the technology leaders in the field of MIG-MAG welding. Their future cooperation will make new and innovative welding solutions available to industrial businesses across Europe. Both partners see enormous potential for mid-size businesses to use the next couple of years to automate their production processes and update their existing structures to the latest developments in digital production.
Otwin Kleinschmidt, Division Manager Yaskawa Germany, said: “We are the market leader in the welding sector with our broad robot portfolio. In times of collaborative robotics and even closer work cooperation between man and machine, it is obvious that we should cooperate with well-known welding source manufacturers such as Lorch in this field.”
Wolfgang Grüb, managing partner at Lorch Schweißtechnik, said: “We are very pleased about the started cooperation with Yaskawa in the field of welding robotics. With this partnership, we will create joint solutions in the future, which will allow customers to further automate their production and to further increase their competitiveness. In the coming years, we see an increasing demand for automated welding solutions, especially in the medium-sized sector but also in large-scale industry. Here we want to jointly increase the efficiency of our customers”.
