If you're looking to improve efficiency, reduce costs, and boost output, bespoke robotic welding could be the smartest move your production line ever makes.

At Olympus Technologies, we’ve been helping manufacturers do just that since 1987.

With decades of experience in automation, welding technologies, and both collaborative and industrial robots, we build systems that are smart, scalable, and designed to fit your world.

Whether you need a one-off tailored solution or an off-the-shelf system to automate repetitive tasks, we’ve got your back and your welds.


Why Robotic Welding Makes Sense

Welding is one of the most common areas for automation and one of the most rewarding.

Robotic welding improves consistency, reduces rework, and creates a safer, more productive environment for your employees.

It’s especially powerful for:

  • Cutting down production time
  • Enhancing weld quality
  • Reducing physical strain on your team
  • Creating a repeatable, scalable process

And with our team of 15 engineers and technicians based in West Yorkshire, 95% of support is handled remotely, fast, efficient, and without the fuss.


Robots That Fit Your Workflow

At Olympus, we know that one robot doesn’t fit all.

That’s why we offer a range of robotic solutions to match your application, budget, and goals.

Whether you’re after collaborative robots to work safely with people, or industrial robots for fast, high-precision jobs, we’ve got you covered.

Robot TypeWhat It Does BestOur Focus Areas
Collaborative Robots (Cobots)Safe human-robot collaboration, flexible tasksWelding, press brake tending, machine tending, case packing, palletising,
Industrial RobotsHigh-speed, repeatable, heavy-duty workHigh-volume welding, material handling

We’re also the UK & Ireland agent for Dinse GMBH, offering top-grade welding torches, consumables, sockets, and wire feeders, perfect for building long-lasting, reliable systems.


Built Around Cobots: Safer, Smarter Automation

One of the fastest-growing areas in our work is integrating cobots into welding and assembly processes.

These clever systems work alongside human workers to tackle repetitive or complex jobs without needing safety cages.

That means more uptime and a smoother workflow.

Why choose cobots?

  • Easy to program and quick to deploy
  • Adaptable for small batch production runs
  • Help your skilled team focus on what they do best

Our cobots are especially effective for manufacturers juggling product variants or short-run contracts - they’re flexible, fast to set up, and offer a solid ROI.


The Olympus Automation Journey

Every great automation journey starts with asking the right questions. That’s where we come in.

Step 1: Understand Your Process

We’ll visit your site, look at how you work, and find areas where automation can really make a difference.

Step 2: Define Your Goals

Is it weld quality? Faster turnaround? Lower cost per part? We help you prioritise.

Step 3: Build the Right System

From off-the-shelf to bespoke turnkey projects, we tailor everything - robot arms, tooling, end effectors, and more.

Step 4: Deploy & Train

We set everything up and train your staff, whether it’s programming, maintenance, or process handovers.

Step 5: Ongoing Support

Our engineers are just a call away. Whether it’s tweaking a program or integrating a new product, we’re here to help.
