OTC DAIHENOTC DAIHEN designs, builds and installs robotic and manual welding systems, with arc-welding robots at the center of its work. The U.S. operation traces its roots to 1979 and moved its headquarters to Ohio after establishing a Dynamic Robotic Division there in 1996. Drawing on a company history that began in Japan in 1919, OTC DAIHEN supports customers with training, service and parts as well as integrated welding automation.TIPP CITY, OH
Mach MachinesFounded by CEO Jandre TerreBlanche after he saw welding robots sitting idle in U.S. fabrication shops, Mach Machines designs and integrates robotic welding automation for fabricators of all sizes. The Cincinnati-area company focuses on high-mix, low-volume work, pairing custom systems—including large-format gantries—with VC Robotics offline programming software so manufacturers can program and control production independently. Mach Machines also provides installation, training, and ongoing field support from system delivery through production.CINCINNATI, OH
Weld Systems Integrators (WSI)Founded in 2000 by industry veterans, Weld Systems Integrators manufactures resistance welding equipment and integrates robotic resistance and MIG welding cells from its Warrensville Heights, Ohio facility. WSI is especially known for capacitor-discharge systems that weld fasteners to hot-stamped boron and other press-hardened steels, backed by an in-house laboratory for process testing and validation. The company also repairs, rebuilds, and supports both its own and legacy welding machines.WARRENSVILLE HEIGHTS, OH
Path RoboticsDesigned and built in Columbus, Ohio, Path Robotics develops AI-powered welding automation for manufacturers handling real-world parts, from large structures to ship hulls. Its Obsidian system uses vision and adaptive software trained on tens of millions of welded inches to find seams and adjust welding in real time, while the newer Rove platform brings that capability to mobile, large-scale fabrication. Path also supports its welding cells through a robots-as-a-service model with 24/7 mission control support.COLUMBUS, OH
