Migatronic
Description
The welding machine manufacturer Migatronic – established 1970 – has consolidated its position as one of Europe’s leading manufacturers of welding machines OUR HISTORY
Migatronic has always made welding easier
☛ What a slimming-down process!
The very first Migatronic electrode welding machine from the mid 1970’s weighed 200 kilograms. Today, the smallest portable electrode welding machine in the assortment weighs only 4.9 kilograms. A 195.1 kilogram difference in weight!
Since September 1970, from day one, we have focused our attention on how to employ advanced technology to make welding processes easier for welders. Every single day. In every workshop or garage and on every factory floor.
☛ From mechanics to software
Welding machines are highly complex but must be easy to operate. On the other hand, technology must provide the best possible conditions for making perfect welds.
Inverter technology, electronically controlling welding processes, has replaced traditional transformer technology. Inverter welding machines are lightweight and enable better control of welding. Mechanics has gradually been replaced by automatic software control. This makes welding easier.
☛ It all started with an old car
It started back in 1970 with a CO2 welding machine for repair of old cars. During the first year, we produce a total of four welding machines and sell for 1,300 Euro.
Already in 1973, we get our first major order to Sweden. In the following years, we begin exporting to countries throughout Europe. We comply with market requirements. In addition to welding machines for the auto business, we develop welding solutions for the professional industry which demands advanced technology for all imaginable assignments and environments – large and small manually operated welding machines and automated welding solutions.
And we will go on. We will continue to develop and market intelligent technology that makes welding easy.

With a view to optimising its complex manufacturing process, Danish subcontractor Svend Frederiksen Maskinfabrik recently invested in a Migatronic CoWelderTM, a collaborative welding robot. "We are very pleased with the flexibility and user-friendliness of the CoWelder, as it fits perfectly with our need for an automated solution that can accommodate a great variation in design and batches."
De næste tre dage står vi sammen med Car-o-liner på Automässa i Lilleström, Norge, for at vise det bedste inden for svejsning til bil reparation.
There is real value in being able to weld workpieces with consistent quality and speed. Time and error rate is alpha and omega in any production. If you are welding many different pieces in serial production batches, a collaborative welding robot is a serious time saver. Make the most of your ressources with the CoWelder.
A small peak at our CoWelder production floor. Machines are right now being assembled, tested and packaged, before they are delivered to their new teams around the world. Stay tuned for a new informative CoWelder video very soon!

Have you thought about investing in automated welding? The benefits are clear; faster production and higher return-of-investment on your time and resources. But if your production is smaller batches of many different products, a fully automated solution might be overkill. Designed to bridge the gap between manual welding and automated welding - we present the CoWelder. The worlds first CE approved collaborative welding robot. Begin production same day as you get it. No coding needed - everything is controlled with a user-friendly control panel or physical instruction. And of course, fitted with some of our best welding technology.
