Optimized Cobot Welding Cell Design: How the Full Footprint Protects Throughput

Optimized Cobot Welding Cell Design: How the Full Footprint Drives Throughput In a cobot welding cell, arc-on time is already on your radar, and your fixtures, programs, and changeovers are dialed in. At that point, productivity improvements come from a different place: keeping the entire cell running smoothly and predictably, shift after shift. Because in…

Custom Fixtures for Robotic Headstock-Tailstock Welding Cells

Custom Fixtures for Robotic Headstock-Tailstock Welding Cells Manufacturers often turn to robotic headstock–tailstock welding cells to automate the welding of long, round, or rotational parts. While these systems are great for providing steady rotation, repeatability, and efficiency, they are rarely a complete solution on their own. Most suppliers offer headstock–tailstock welding systems as rotation units…

Welding Barrier

Custom Welding Cells & Barriers Designed Around Your Work

Custom Welding Cells & Barriers Designed Around Your Work When a welding space forces operators to work around the cell instead of focusing on the job, productivity and safety both suffer. Too often, manufacturers accept these limitations because they assume “custom” means complicated, expensive, or disruptive. In reality, a well-designed custom welding cell improves both…

A black metal workbench with clamps and fixtures on top. Large text reads “SPATTER RESISTANCE,” with “No Chemicals Required” beneath—an ideal choice as EPA bans methylene chloride. The bench features “Flextur” branding on the leg.

EPA Bans Methylene Chloride: Why Nitride+ Welding Tables are the Smart Alternative

EPA Bans Methylene Chloride: Why Nitride+ Welding Tables are the Smart Alternative The welding industry is changing. In 2024, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) finalized a ban on methylene chloride, a chemical commonly used in anti-spatter sprays. As a result, welding shops are being pushed to rethink how they protect welding tables without relying…
