Kemeling Kunststoffen in Naaldwijk develops and produces high-quality industrial plastic bins, tanks, pits, crates and cabinets using a robot. The company pioneered this six years ago and now has three welding robot installations with which round and rectangular plastic products are made in larger numbers.
The robots support the employees and take over the work where it becomes monotonous. By using the robots, we can now serve new markets with larger quantities and larger dimensions, which we were not equipped for before,’ says owner Robert Kemeling.
For the past two years, Kemeling has been working on preparing a robotic cell to also be able to extrusion weld straightforward products. ‘Think tanks for water treatment and sprinkler tanks. Meanwhile, a large installation, also by Valk Welding, has been set up for this purpose, with the robot hanging from a gallows and the gallows themselves moving over a track. This allows the robot to reach all positions within the product with the welding extruder. We could not have made such large products without the robots.’
