When you consider that most of our machines operate in challenging environments including mines, quarries and on construction sites, it’s no wonder that excellent durability and longevity are high on our agenda.
With this in mind, the booms of all our heavy machinery such as our demolition machines are reinforced for increased durability and reduced structural fatigue. All the joints are expertly welded in order to withstand some of the toughest conditions when operating in the field. Some of this welding, including on the boom and arm, is even completed by hand to ensure attention to detail and that the machines are as strong as possible. In addition, some of the welding work will need to be ground down by hand, to ensure a smooth surface ready for painting.

There are no doubt many advantages of robotic welding including increased productivity and consistency and you will find robotic welding machines in some areas of our factories where there are clear benefits. However, where preparatory or more detailed welding is required, hand welding is the most precise.
“In our section, we are passionate about quality and instill this in everyone on our production line,” continues Takuya. “While all our work is checked by the quality control team, we make sure all the welding we complete is of the highest standard. We take full responsibility for everything that comes off our line.”
