Inrotech-Classic
Inrotech-Classic
Mobile welding robot with SensLogic® technology
The Inrotech-Classic® is a mobile welding robot, which has been in operation in shipyards around the world for almost a decade. This welding robot is intended for the welding of webs and bulkheads in the shipbuilding industry, yet this welding robot can be used for
a number of other purposes as well. The modular light weight rail system can be extended as you please. The welding robot identifies the structures and welds automatically with SensLogic technology.
Get to know our Inrotech-Classic®
The Inrotech-Classic® is Inrotech’s very first welding robot– hence the name. The first welding robot was delivered to Odense Steel Shipyard, Lindø in Denmark and introduced in the block welding hall, welding both open panels as well as in closed blocks. It is intended for the welding of webs and bulkheads in the shipbuilding industry, yet it can be used for a number of other purposes as well.

The operator
Benefits of mobile welding robots
One operator is able to handle six Inrotech-Classic® with Inrotech’s intuitive user interface that does not require any robot programmer experience or knowledge. Introduction of this welding robot is made into a very foreseeable process where everyone can participate.
No need to remember program, lines or codes. Start, stop, pause, continue. The operator makes use of few and simple menu options. The built-in intelligence of the system thus reduces the operator’s ability to make mistakes.
- Arc ratio: High welding arc time and multiple robots per operator at low investment
- Arc density: A high number of welding arcs per section at low investment
- Introduction in existing facilities: No changes to the production layout and facility are required
- Introduction during running production: Swift implementation without disrupting/interrupting the production flow
- Adaptable to fluctuations in production workload; the robots are not tied to specific tasks through pre-made programs
- Flexibility in workflow: The operator or the shop foreman can be allocated all robots to one section or spread them across several sections
- Ease of use and low operator skill requirements
- No engineering support and no dependency on CAD data and quality
- A proven track record from numerous shipbuilding applications worldwide
Simpel operation
Only two simple instructions
Operating the Inrotech-Classic® is very simple. The welding robot on the rails must be positioned in approximate distance to the welding job. The operator is only required to give two simple instructions to the robot in order to start up the welding process: Which direction (right or left) and how many jobs. Once the system has been given this information, it starts a short sensing sequence, where the object is identified by means of a laser sensor.
What are mobile welding robots used for?
Mobile welding robots are a highly advanced version of automated welding, in which the welding robot conduct the welding. The use of SensLogic Technology allows for precise and quick results, less waste, and greater safety. The mobile welding robot is capable of reaching otherwise inaccessible locations and can perform complicated and precise welds more quickly compared to manual welding. This frees time for manufacturing and allows for more flexibility and efficiency shipbuilding.
Once the object has been recognized, the welding process is commencing automatically. This continues until the entire panel is welded. The user panel consist of an intuitive, icon-based windows touch panel. Here the operator will find all commands in clear language, no codes and no programming are involved. No special education is required. The operator, who do not need to have any robot experience, is ready to operate the system after a short introduction.
