MAKING A DIFFERENCE
Since the 90’s, the founder of Inrotech, Flemming Jorgensen, has been working as an independent consultant within the robotic industry.His diverse background as a blacksmith, certified offshore welder, Mechanical Engineer and on top of that a degree in electronics and software development made him well suited to work specifically with welding robots. A long-time engagement at Odense Steel Shipyard (OSS), Lindoe (Maersk owned), which was one of Europes largest and most well-known shipyards, he was working with the very large welding gantry systems which OSS had in operation. This sparked the idea of a totally different concept: Instead of gantries and robots of enormous proportions and work intensive off-line programming, make small and mobile welding robots provided with a technology based on sensing and logic instead.
Lincoln Electric has acquired Inrotech A/S, a Denmark-based company headquartered in Odense, and now owns 100% of the business. The acquisition strengthens Lincoln Electric’s global position within advanced welding and automation and expands its presence in Northern Europe.
SELF-PROGRAMMING
Presenting this idea to the OSS management, they immediately caught the idea and ordered Flemming to produce such robot systems.
The systems became an immediate success. At the end of Flemming’s journey at OSS he had developed two different solutions, one for double bottoms and one for the welding of wing tanks, in total counting 10 active welding robot systems at OSS. Smart, mobile and “self-programming” welding robots. SensLogic was born and so was the foundation of what soon to become the company Inrotech.
Industries
WELDING ROBOTS FOR VARIOUS INDUSTRIES
Inrotech is redefining and revolutionising shipbuilding, offshore, renewables and heavy welding industries with its unique, innovative mobile welding robots. Thanks to its cutting-edge technology, agility and flexibility, Inrotech is rapidly redefining the global welding market. Inrotech’s core business is the development of the software that integrates the welding machine with the robotic arm, as well as sensing and scanning technology.
This combination allows the welding robot to automatically identify objects that has to be welded. It makes it quite easy for customers as it doesn’t require any advanced programming nor any transfer of CAD-drawings.
