Bräuer Schweißtechnik – Systems house for welding and robotics technology
Arthur Bräuer GmbH & Co. KG (Bräuer Schweißtechnik) is a systems house for welding, cutting and robotics technology based in Finnentrop-Bamenohl in the Sauerland region. The company develops, designs, manufactures and installs custom robot cells, fixtures and special systems for welding and handling tasks and is an official systems partner of KUKA Industries. On around 20 individually programmable robotic systems, the company offers contract manufacturing of welded assemblies in series or as prototypes, including gas shielded welding (MIG/MAG/TIG), resistance welding, laser welding, spot welding, projection welding, arc welding and clinching. Metallic components are manufactured such as automotive locking systems, hinges, sheet-metal crash structures, gearbox components and fasteners for customers from the metal, automotive and electrical industries. The service portfolio also includes service, maintenance, remote maintenance and training as well as trading in welding machines, accessories and new/used systems. Since 2004 the company has been certified to DIN EN ISO 9001 and delivers to Germany, Europe, Mexico and China, among others.
