FABTECH 2026

Robotics Booth
with Drives & Motion
Booth S18060

Robotic Paint Application
Booth S40020

At FABTECH 2026, we will show a range of robotic welding and related technology solutions designed to help manufacturers get more value from raw materials and maximize the impact of their skilled labor, both of which are in increasingly short supply. We hope all visitors to our booth got to see our easy-to-use systems. Each have been engineered to streamline processes, boost profitability, and tackle production challenges.

F011: AI For High-Mix, Low-Volume Workflows
Conventional robotic welding excels in high-volume, repetitive production where fixtures are precise and parts are identical. However, a significant gap remains in high-mix, low-volume fabrication for job shops and contract manufacturing facilities. Tasks such as welding assemblies with inconsistent fit-ups, tacking custom structures, and handling irregular raw materials often remain manual due to the unpredictability of non-standardized workpieces.

This presentation explores the shift from rigid programming to autonomous adaptivity.

F007: Integrated Robotic Solutions: From Prototype Laser Automation to Heavy-Duty Plasma
Plasma cutting remains one of the most versatile and cost-effective cutting processes in manufacturing, when paired with robotics, its advantages multiply. This presentation explores why robotic plasma cutting continues to outperform manual cutting and alternative technologies such as laser cutting and trim presses across demanding applications including diecast deflashing, pressure vessel fabrication, and large plate processing.
