From beams and girders to full modular frames — KRANENDONK automation brings precision, speed, and flexibility to every part of your steel workflow. Our robotic systems handle cutting, welding, and fitting with millimeter accuracy, helping you meet tight tolerances, reduce rework, and boost output across high-mix projects.
Why structural steel needs a smarter approach
Projects are growing in scale and complexity, while lead times are shrinking and competition is fierce. Automation helps fabricators stay accurate, efficient, and ready for variation — even in high-mix, low-volume production.
Bigger projects, tighter specs
Architectural steel is getting larger, heavier, and more complex — but still demands millimeter-level precision. With automated welding based on your 3D CAD input, KRANENDONK ensures you meet tolerance requirements at scale, reducing the downtime in your beam shop.
Global pressure on efficiency
The global structural steel market faces overcapacity, tight margins, and fierce competition. Robotic lines from KRANENDONK help you produce faster, with fewer errors, and at lower cost per ton — even when handling continuous product variation and small series.
Labor-intensive steps slow down production
Plate mounting and welding are some of the most time-consuming tasks in the beam shop. KRANENDONK automation can reduce manual work drastically, running 24/7 with minimal supervision.
High mix, low volume — without delays
No beam is the same. With CAD-based processing and automated fit-up, KRANENDONK’s Robotic Beam Constructor ensures reliable, top-quality welding — even in high-mix, low-volume production environments.

Built to master beam and profile work
Structural steel projects are rarely uniform. Beam sizes, hole patterns, and assembly needs vary by job — sometimes by part. Our automation adapts to this complexity with CAD-based workflows and smart fit-up tools, delivering precision, speed, and flexibility across your entire line.
