At Vectis, Absolute Customer Focus is one of our core values: not just something we say, but something we do every day.

We strive to delight you, the customer, in your pursuit of increased productivity and quality through our cobot welding and cutting tools.

But don’t just take it from us - here’s what some of our hundreds of customers have to say:

  • "With the Vectis, welding is no longer our bottleneck. We went from 150 parts/day to 760/day with the cobot. A 5x increase!" - Jim H. (Owner, H&H Metals)

  • “An automation solution that started contributing the day it was delivered.” - Dean H. (CEO, Noffsinger Manufacturing) "Vectis has changed the game." - Perry K. (Senior Director of Ops. and Eng., Noffsinger

  • “It paid itself back within less than 3 months. It’s the easiest money I’ve ever made.” - Chris S. (Owner, Centerline Brackets)

  • “The sheer size of our parts led us to invest in our first cobot welding system from Vectis Automation. The system paid for itself on the first job it was deployed on..." - INTERCON (Marine, Defense, Heavy Industry MFG.)

  • “We increased throughput by 450% with the Vectis, and eliminated post-weld grinding thanks to the perfect bead.” - Travis H. (COO, YB Welding & Fab)

  • “We do 3-4 days of work in one shift, with greater precision and quality. The Vectis cutter is out of this world." - Production Supervisor, Heavy Equipment Manufacturing

  • “23 years in automation, this is the first system that I have purchased that has come out of the box and worked 100% as advertised.” - Jeff M. (Production Manager, Weller Metalworks)

  • “An 8.5x productivity boost — 70 min. manual time to 8 min. with the Vectis. What you have for a team is special." - Kevin W. (Plant Manager, D&G Machine Products)

  • “We were cutting shrink-wrap in the morning and in production by the afternoon.” - Travis J. (President, MT Solar)

  • “The Vectis Rover is pulling its weight helping combat the shortage of highly skilled CJP welders that our U.S. steel fabrication industry is facing. We're running 100% UT satisfactory per AWS D1.8 with the Vectis on our moment connections.” - Roy E.

  • “My guys’ least favorite weld takes them 12 minutes. The Vectis did it in 3. Blown away." - President, Aluminum Products Manufacturing

  • “That part takes 4 hours to manually weld. The Vectis cobot welds it in 15 minutes.” - Kohle D. (Cobot Operator, Ram Manufacturing)

  • “With the Vectis, we complete 20-foot welds in 30 to 45 minutes instead of 8 hours manually. Unmatched customer service." - Blake F. (Welding/Finishing Supervisor, Sharp Iron Mfg.)

  • "We'll take 4 more systems...and another 6." - Omar S. (Production Manager, Breeo)

  • “To keep up with demand...while still delivering precise, durable welds, our factory line features a Vectis cobot, which doubles our production capabilities.” - SuperVac

  • “We tripled production by leveraging the Vectis Cobot Welding Tool.” - Josh R. (Owner, RCI Metalworks)

  • “It has been a godsend, we cut structural shapes with it every single day.” - President/Owner, Maryland bridge fabricator

  • “We had our Vectis rent-to-own for one day and my lead fabricator said you’re dumb if you don’t buy this thing.” - Brad H. (Director of Ops. and Eng., Impact Fab)

  • “I want to thank [the Vectis application engineers] for their help in guiding me to learn using our Vectis robot. Above and beyond customer service.” - Russell W. (Founder/CEO, Warren Equipment, Inc.)

  • The results speak for themselves. One operator produced 37 landing beams in a single 8-hour shift. That’s 740 welds totaling 125’. This used to be a 3-man job for 2-3 days with doing the layouts and welding manually. (President, All Metal Fab, Inc.)
