Remote Welding Robot “WELDEMOTO” Deployed in Japan for First Time at Hozumi Alloy Manufacturing
“WELDEMOTO,” a remote welding robot developed by Hyogo Prefecture-based Takamaru Kogyo, has been deployed for the first time in Japan at Hozumi Alloy Manufacturing.
What happened
Takamaru Kogyo announced that it fully deployed “WELDEMOTO,” a remote welding robot it developed in 2024, at Hozumi Alloy Manufacturing on July 3. Hozumi Alloy Manufacturing decided to adopt the system to bring welding in-house and secure personnel.
Why it matters
For Hozumi Alloy Manufacturing, the system offers a way to bring outsourced welding in-house amid difficulties recruiting and training welders. Takamaru Kogyo said the robot has been fully deployed as a system that can be operated “anywhere, by anyone, with ease” using a standard PC, offering conditions for worksites that have hesitated to adopt industrial robots because of the difficulty of operating them.
