Different Industries. Real Shop-Floor Challenges.
Increase Capacity
Take on more work without relying solely on additional skilled labor.
Improve Consistency
Reduce variability and build more dependable production processes.
Stay Flexible as Your Work Changes
Use tools that can move between parts, projects, and production requirements.
Reduce Rework
Achieve more repeatable weld quality and spend less time correcting avoidable issues.
Improve Throughput and Lead Times
Keep more work moving through the shop and deliver projects with greater predictability.
Make Better Use of Skilled Welders
Move repetitive arc time to the cobot while your team focuses on fitting, problem-solving, and higher-skill work.
See Where Vectis Tools Can Fit on Your Shop Floor
Contract Manufacturing
“With the ease of programming [the Vectis cobot]… doing small runs of 5 to 10 pieces is not a problem.”
— Kent J. (Owner, KYJO Steel)
Flexible Tools for Changing Workloads
Contract manufacturers need to move quickly between customer parts and shifting priorities. Vectis tools help your team automate more work while retaining the flexibility to handle different projects, short runs, and production requirements.
Common Use-Cases
MIG welding, stitch welds, boring arc-on time, long welds, heavy welds, multipass, plug welds, patterns, medium-volume batches, seal welds, x-ray & UT welds, and much more.
Structural Steel & Heavy Fabrication
“The Vectis Rover is pulling its weight helping combat the shortage of highly skilled CJP welders our US structural steel industry is facing.”
— Roy E. (VP of Operations, Central Texas Iron Works)
Bring Automation to the Work
Fixed automation can be impractical for large weldments and changing project requirements. Mobile Vectis tools help your team bring automation to the workpiece, automate more arc time, and keep skilled welders focused on higher-value work.
Common Use-Cases
Moment connections, bridge subassemblies, bracing plates, fabricated I-beams, base plates, anchor plates, embeds, bracketry, vertical-up welds, dirty material, slots in large formed parts, thick-plate beveling, and more.
Equipment Manufacturing
“We do 3-4 days of work in 1 shift, with greater precision and quality. The Vectis is out of this world.”
— Production supervisor, Mining Equipment Mfg. in Wyoming
Increase Capacity Across a Wide Range of Parts
Equipment manufacturers often need to handle brackets, frames, attachments, and large fabricated assemblies. Vectis tools help your team increase throughput while allowing manufacturers to handle both repeatable production and changing project demands.
Common Use-Cases
Blades, box beams, buckets, chassis/frames, couplers, grapplers, hydraulic cylinders, hydraulic tanks, motor mounts, outriggers, pump frames, rippers, towers, and much more.
Shipyards & Heavy Equipment
“Traditional ROI calculations don’t fully capture the value of preventing injuries, minimizing weld fume exposure, and improving welder comfort.”
— Intercon, Heavy Machinery & Shipbuilding | Kansas City
Mobile Tools for Large, Demanding Weldments
Marine and defense fabricators often work with heavy plate, long seams, and difficult weld locations. Vectis tools help your team bring automation closer to the workpiece and reduce time spent on repetitive or physically demanding welds.
Common Use-Cases
Complex paths, multipass welds, one-off parts, large fillet welds, groove welds, PJP and CJP welds, 3D cutting and beveling, joint preparation for as-built conditions, and more.
Education & Workforce Training
"[Young welders] really gravitate toward the self-guided training and conversational-style programming."
— Corey M. (Founder, Owner, and Operator, CM Welding & Machine)
Increase Productivity While Building Practical Skills
Schools, training programs, and workforce development organizations need tools that help students build practical fabrication skills while preparing for the technologies they will encounter in modern manufacturing. Vectis tools provide an approachable way to introduce cobot welding and cutting, giving learners hands-on experience with automation while reinforcing the value of skilled welders, fabricators, and Cobot Champions.
Common Use-Cases
Welding fundamentals, cobot programming, manufacturing automation training, workforce development programs, student capstone projects, operator upskilling, plasma cutting instruction, and much more.
Aluminum Fabrication
“My guys’ least favorite weld takes them 12 minutes. The Vectis did it in 3. Blown away.”
— President, Aluminum Products Manufacturing
Approachable Automation for Aluminum Welding
Aluminum fabrication brings its own challenges, from soft-wire feeding to maintaining consistency across repeatable parts. Your team can bring automation into aluminum fabrication without giving up the flexibility needed to handle changing parts, materials, and applications.
Common Use-Cases
Automotive aftermarket components, brackets, boxes (electrical, marine, toolboxes, etc.), handrails, light poles, structural aluminum, and more.
Is Cobot Welding a Good Fit for Your Shop?
How do I know if cobot welding will work for my applications?
The best way to determine fit is through an application evaluation. Our team will review your parts, weldments, production goals, and current bottlenecks to identify where cobot welding could make the biggest practical impact.
What sizes of shops are right for cobot welding?
Yes. Cobot welding is well suited for high-mix environments because operators can quickly program new parts and move between applications. This makes it practical for short runs, changing customer work, and even one-off weldments.
Can cobot welding handle high-mix production?
Yes. Cobot welding is well suited for high-mix environments because operators can quickly program new parts and move between applications. This makes it practical for short runs, changing customer work, and even one-off weldments.
Can cobot welding handle high-volume production?
Yes. Cobot welding can also support demanding, high-volume applications. For example, Centerline Brackets’ Vectis cobot completed more than one million welds without failure, demonstrating that cobot systems can deliver long-term reliability in repeatable production environments.
