The Time to Take Action is Now!

Forecast: 400,000 less welders will be in the workforce by end of 2026.

The Flextur Cobot Welding System solves these three major issues:

  • 1.

    Faster Change Overs Increase Arc On Time.

    The ideal solution for high mix low volume parts, with less downtime and the ability to do offline part setup. A Flextur customer using the Flextur Cobot Welding System increased productivity from 20 manually welded parts per day to 80 parts per day. A 300% Increase in productivity. In another example, set up time was reduced from over 45 minutes to under 5. A 900% increase in efficiency, creating more Arc On Time.

  • 2.

    Ease of Use – Simplicity & Repeatability

    This benefit of a Cobot is often lost when it comes to holding parts or fixturing. There are always complexities setting up a part or changing to a new part. Additional challenges occur designing a productive work flow or maintaining operations after the first shift automation engineer or tech leave for the day. These challenges are often why Cobots become under-utilized, or even worse… pushed into a corner. The Flextur Cobot Welding System featuring Quick-Change Fixture Tables solves these complex issues in a simple way that works.

  • 3.

    Transitioning Your Team From Hand Welding to Automation.

    This is especially important in times of skilled labor shortages in the welding sector. The Flextur Cobot Welding System makes difficult welding applications accessible to AWS Certified Welders with the tools they need to be more productive. Allowing manual welders to transfer knowledge to automation without the hurdle of more advanced programming necessary when trying to complete similar tasks with a traditional robot.

In summary, Flextur’s Cobot Welding System creates an extremely accurate, efficient, safe, and highly productive welding cell. A modular system that greatly simplifies fixturing and repeatability within the welding process. We reduce complexity by creating a system that anyone can walk up to and change over in minutes. A turnkey solution for the Cobot environment to reduce the time from last good part (Part “A”) out - to first good part (Part “B”) out.

    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.

  • B.

    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 +/- 0.015" 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.

"Back then we figured it would be simple to build our own weld table. When we tried it, the surface warped, the hole spacing pulled together, and the holes shrunk. We’re too busy to waste time like that again."

Laverne B. Hoover - Wheelshop Welding

“It creates a sense of pride for my guys to create their own workstations and yet it’s one standardized system throughout the shop. My guys love them.”

Dave Ligget - Production Manager

“We’ve probably made over a million dollars worth of products on this table, and have only scratched the surface, literally. Don’t think about it. Just get one.”

Foster Welding

“Our QC guy is very pleased with how the bus walls come off as they laminate the walls with a thin skin and any offset at the joints show up... We’re really appreciating our Flextur products.”

John Martin - Owner, Southwest Welding

“Mobility is Key. We are tight on space and being able to roll our tools in and out based on what we are doing is a game changer, even cleaning up is easier.”

Conrad Schrock - Rockwood

“Excellent Versatility, with the 2” Grid pattern they are able to accurately meet every dimensional requirement of our weldments. We’ve been able to hold tolerances not only on flatwork but vertical weldments as well by utilizing fixture blocks. We’re Very Happy… Very Happy with our Flextur Tables.”

Jon Jesse - Quality Control Manager, Southwest Welding

“Well satisfied with product and the price. We’re experiencing an ROI of less than a year.”

John Martin - Owner, Southwest Welding

I love my table! Everyone who sees it compliments it as well. You guys surely have great products!

Jeff Gleason - Eastern Welding Supply

"This cart is a must have when running multiple jobs together. It is working well and helps us be more efficient, keeping everything better organized. Thank You!"
