The Flextur Cobot Welding System solves these three major issues:
Ease of Use – Simplicity & Repeatability
The benefits of a Cobot can be lost when dealing with changeovers, part holding, or fixturing, especially without the support of an automation engineer. The Flextur Cobot Welding System, with its Quick-Change Fixture Tables, simplifies these challenges, offering an efficient and effective solution.
Transitioning Your Team From Hand Welding to Automation.
This is particularly crucial during skilled labor shortages in the welding industry. The Flextur Cobot Welding System equips AWS Certified Welders with the tools they need to tackle complex welding applications efficiently, enabling them to leverage their expertise in automation. This system empowers manual welders to transfer their knowledge to automated processes, maximizing performance and productivity.
Faster Change Overs Increase Arc On Time.
The Flextur Cobot Welding System is the perfect solution for high-mix, low-volume production, minimizing downtime and allowing for offline part setup. One customer using the system saw productivity soar from 20 manually welded parts per day to 80 parts—a 300% boost. In another case, setup time was slashed from over 45 minutes to under 5, resulting in a 900% increase in efficiency.

The Time to Take Action is Now!
Forecast: 400,000 less welders will be in the workforce by end of 2026.
The Modular Design of the Flextur Cobot Welding System adapts with you.
Whether you are getting your first cobot, or your 21st cobot. Or, if you’ve been using fixtures or you just got your first welding table, Flextur’s Cobot Welding System can meet you where you are. And it will easily adapt and grow with you, as you become more advanced in your cobot usage.
Flextur Cobot Docking Station
The Flextur Cobot Docking Station is the heart of the Flextur Cobot Welding System. Your cobot, cobot controller, power supply and wire feeder will be mounted to this rugged, fork-able base. Because all of the other table options mount to and work with the Docking Station it is recommended that it be securely bolted to the floor.
Flextur Cobot Tables
Flextur Cobot Tables are available in 36”x36” and 72”x36”. These nitrated tables easily bolt up and accurately align and level to the Flextur Cobot Docking Station. These are great tables for prototyping, or scenarios where the pricing, volume or job do not merit a fixture. Tables also utilize Gridlok Technology, allowing you to keep the tools or parts you use most close at hand.
Flextur Quick-Change Fixture Tables
If you are like the majority of Cobot owners we’ve spoken to, you are doing a high mix of low to mid volume parts. You feel your Cobot is under utilized and you’re struggling with how to maximize your Cobot investment? The patent pending Flextur Quick-Change Fixture Table is the only one of its kind. It allows you to create highly accurate, repeatable, automated workflows that increase productivity in a big way. This frees up your Automation Engineer, Cobot Technician and Experienced Welder for other things, while the Cobot Operator simply burns wire and makes parts. Changing parts is as simple as releasing the pneumatic quick-detach Quick-Change Fixture Plate and returning it to the Quick-Change Fixture Plate storage rack. Choose the next Quick-Change Fixture Plate and safely clamp it into position with the touch of a button. Select the new program and keep your workflow humming.
Quick-Change Fixture Plate
These durable plates are engineered to be positioned and clamped in the exact spot every time on the Flextur Quick-Change Fixture Table. How accurate you ask? Plates are within +/- .015” every time. These serve as a consistent base for any fixtures. Our Quick-Change Fixture Plates work with all types of fixtures, from basic welded stops and clamps to the latest full 3D designed tab and slot fixtures. Flextur can assist anyone using a Flextur Cobot Welding System by designing and/or building fixtures for their specific application.
Working with Automation
Create a Lean & Efficient Workflow While Increasing Productivity
Robotic welders only increase efficiency when they are burning wire. Whether loading a robot or interacting with a cobot, having all the material you need within easy reach is vital... we engineer our workstations to solve this issue. Only when using a variety of Flextur products, including Wall Mount and Mobile Tool Boards, Workbenches, and Welding Tables to support an automated operation, can you find true efficiency, increase safety and reduce cycle times and defects.
Flextur solves for robot and cobot efficiency
Flextur Wall Mount & Mobile Tool Boards Keep Items within Easy Reach
Not only does Flextur make quality Welding Tables and Mobile Welding Carts for cobot and on-the-go welding stations. Flextur uses Wall Mount and Mobile Tool Boards panels to keep materials arriving on time and within easy reach of the robot operator.
