Key Robot-Based Products:

• FD Series Arc Welding Robots: The flagship line of 6-axis industrial robots optimized for arc welding. These robots feature high-speed motion, excellent repeatability, and advanced welding capabilities. Models range from compact arms for smaller parts to high-payload variants for large components. They integrate seamlessly with OTC DAIHEN welding power sources and offer intuitive teach pendants for easy programming.
• Collaborative Welding Robots (Cobots): Designed for safe human-robot interaction, these cobots allow manufacturers to automate welding tasks in environments where traditional industrial robots would require safety fencing. They are ideal for smaller shops and flexible production lines.
• Ready-to-Ship Welding Cells: Pre-engineered, standardized robotic welding systems that can be deployed quickly. These cells include the robot, positioner, welding equipment, and safety features, significantly reducing integration time and cost.
• Material Handling Robots: In addition to welding, OTC DAIHEN offers robots for material handling, palletizing, and machine tending, expanding their automation capabilities beyond welding.

OTC DAIHEN USA stands out for its free-for-life robotic programming training for customers who purchase FD Series systems, strong local support, and a focus on practical, high-ROI automation. The company continues to innovate in welding automation, digital integration, and collaborative technologies to help manufacturers address labor shortages and improve quality.
