Turnkey welding production
Automation for welding processes in industrial manufacturing
Automation in welding is a key success factor for industrial manufacturing processes. With our turnkey systems, you can optimize your welding production in a sustainable manner – economically, precisely, and flexibly.
As a specialist in automated welding solutions, we offer robotic systems that ensure reproducible quality, accelerate processes, and can be seamlessly integrated into your production—even with changing components or batch sizes.
Production
Produce more – with less effort
Automated welding systems reliably perform repetitive tasks around the clock. This reduces the workload on your employees and ensures stable capacities—regardless of the staffing situation.
Quality
Consistent quality – for every component
Automated processes ensure reproducible results at a high level. The weld seams are precise, uniform, and documentable—even over many years.
Efficiency
Efficiency that pays off
Automated welding reduces unit costs, speeds up processes, and makes your production more economical. The investment pays for itself quickly—while also increasing capacity utilization.

Robot automation for industry
Turnkey automation solutions for efficient welding production
Whether for individual cells or entire production lines, automated welding opens up new possibilities for ensuring quality, speed, and availability in the long term. The key is to have the right system: one that is precisely tailored to your processes, components, and cycle time requirements. LEWA Attendorn offers two platforms for your industrial welding automation.
SpeedLine®
High-speed systems for spot welding
SpeedLine® is the benchmark for industrial spot welding processes: cycle time savings of up to 40% and part feeding in less than two seconds. With highly dynamic components such as SpeedGun® and SpeedFrame®, you can measurably increase your productivity – while maintaining consistent quality and minimizing space requirements.
CompactLine
Immediately productive with preconfigured robotic welding cells
The CompactLine combines powerful robotics—including cobots—with a modular design and practical operation. Whether MIG/MAG or laser welding: the compact robotic welding cells are ready for immediate use, easy to integrate, and enable a safe entry into automated welding production—with reproducible quality from the very first component.

Technology kit for your production
Specialized high-speed components are behind every solution from LEWA Attendorn. Whether state-of-the-art robots, extremely lightweight welding guns, automated rotary tables, intelligent sensor technology, or digitalization—our modules are designed for maximum cycle times, process reliability, and flexibility.
A comparison
Manual vs. automated welding
Manual welding quickly reaches its limits in industrial manufacturing—in terms of cycle times, quality assurance, and the availability of skilled workers. Automated welding systems offer real advantages here: they ensure consistent quality, increase efficiency, and enable economically stable series production—regardless of shift operation.
| Criterion | Manual welding | Automated welding |
| Quality | Dependent on the operator, variable | Reproducible and documentable |
| Speed | Limited by humans and breaks | Constant cycle times, 24/7 operation possible |
| Personnel requirements | High, difficult to cover | Reduced staffing requirements |
| Susceptibility to errors | Higher, visual inspection required | Process monitored, sensor-based security |
| Scalability | Difficult with increasing demand | Flexibly adaptable, consistently scalable |
| Cost | High labor and rework costs | Lower unit costs, fast amortization |
Customized for each industry
Every industry has its own requirements in terms of processes, materials, and quality assurance. Our automated welding systems are designed to meet these requirements precisely: flexible, economical, and with a clear focus on reproducibility, cycle time, and availability. With over 2,000 systems implemented worldwide, we have the experience to automate even complex manufacturing environments in a process-oriented manner. Our systems are used in the following areas, among others.
Capabilities and processes of our automated welding production
Automated welding is more than just robotics. It is crucial that our experts and technicians understand your processes, master the interface technologies, and think and design your plant solutions holistically. Turnkey systems from LEWA Attendorn combine technological diversity with reliable implementation—from engineering and commissioning to series production.
Engineering from a single source
Planning, construction, integration, and service—all services come from one organization, with clear responsibilities.
Process understanding in every line
We design every system from the component level up, focusing on speed, quality, and availability.
Integrated sensor technology
Our systems test, measure, and monitor directly in the process—for maximum safety and complete traceability.
Digitalization included
Our software specialists develop your system to be future-proof—with intelligent control and integrable interfaces.
Capabilities
Our systems are developed through close collaboration between design, IT, robotics, and application engineering—tailored to your line, your components, and your cycle times.
MIG/MAG welding
For steel and aluminum, with consistent seam quality—ideal for load-bearing structures and series components.
Laser welding
Maximum precision with minimal heat input – for thin-walled materials and visible seams.
Spot welding
High-speed process with cycle time savings of up to 40% – fully automated with SpeedLine® components
Other processes on request
Resistance spot welding, projection welding, stud welding, TIG, plasma, bonding, clinching, or flow hole screws—we integrate exactly the process that suits your component and your line.
Process
Depending on the application, we combine suitable joining technologies – from proven welding processes to specialized solutions.
References that speak for themselves
Each line is a different component. Each customer presents their own challenge. Our references show how automated welding works in practice. Whether tight cycle times, changing materials, or a shortage of skilled workers—we develop solutions that secure processes, relieve the burden on personnel, and make production economical.
