Custom Robotic Welding
Fixtures and Tooling

Welding automation performance depends on more than just the robot. Without purpose-built fixturing and positioners, even the best system will struggle with part consistency, access, and cycle time.

That’s why Kinetic Technologies designs and builds custom robotic welding fixtures and tooling to ensure every weld starts with the right foundation; engineered for your parts, your weld process, and your production goals.

Onsite Installation & Runnoff

Proper Fixturing and Tooling Maximizes Robotic Welding Performance

Quality welds start with how the part is held. Our custom robotic welding fixtures and positioners eliminate common sources of error, so your robot can weld faster, more accurately, and with less downtime.

Our robotic welding positioners, fixtures, and tooling solve:

Welding Robot Arc-On Time

Inconsistent Joint Fit-Up

Precision locators and clamp designs hold every part within tolerance.

Limited Torch Access

Limited Torch Access

Fixtures and positioners are designed to rotate or tilt parts into optimal weld positions.

Slow Load Unload Times

Slow Load/Unload Times

Ergonomic designs and repeatable nests speed up every cycle.

Our Approach to Robotic Welding Fixtures, Tooling & Positioners

At Kinetic Technologies, every system is tailored to the application, but we don’t start from scratch.

We begin with proven components like our positioners and build from there. Our team designs custom fixtures and tooling to match your parts, weld paths, and production needs. This approach reduces risk, speeds up deployment, and gives you a system that performs from day one.

Robotic Welding Positioners

Robotic Welding Positioners

Lots of integrators treat the positioner as an add-on. At Kinetic, it’s part of the system from the start. We use proven designs like our RT1, RT Lite, or headstock-tailstock models, but we don’t stop there. We adapt each setup to your parts, your weld paths, and the motion your robot needs to do the job right.

Positioner Options
  • RT1: Heavy-duty rotary table for larger parts
  • RT Lite: Compact table for smaller cells and cobots
  • Headstock-Tailstock: Coordinated motion for complex parts
  • Custom multi-axis positioners such as Sky-hook, Drop frame, indexing stations, gantries, and more 
  • Integrated designs for fixture mounting and part rotation
Robotic Welding Fixtures

Robotic Welding Fixtures

Most fixture providers just build what you ask for. At Kinetic, we challenge the design. We ask how the weld needs to perform, how the robot moves, and how the operator loads the part. Then we engineer the fixture to support the whole system, not just hold the part.

Our Process: From Design to Production-Ready

Every fixture, positioner, and tooling system we deliver goes through a structured, engineering-driven
process designed to reduce downtime and set you up for long-term success.

Here’s how we work:

Part Review Weld Requirements

Part Review & Weld Requirements

We start by understanding your parts, joints, and weld process. Our team evaluates how the fixture needs to function in a real production environment.

Simulation Access Validation

Simulation & Access Validation

Using SolidWorks, RoboGuide, or CENIT, we simulate the weld paths and validate reach, angles, and interference before any steel is cut.

Custom Design Fabrication

Custom Design & Fabrication

Our in-house team designs and builds all fixtures and tooling components, from heavy-duty workholding to sensor mounts and custom brackets, ensuring full control over quality and lead time.

Integration Positioners Robots

Integration with Positioners & Robots

We fit everything together, including any positioner model, to ensure alignment, clearance, and coordinated motion.

Onsite Testing Support

Onsite Testing & Support

We help you install, test, and fine-tune the system, including programming and operator training.

Not Sure Where to Start?
Let’s Talk.

Whether you’re planning a new cell or troubleshooting an existing one, we can help.

We’ll recommend the right combination of positioners, fixtures, and tooling, including everything from heat sinks and sensor brackets to coordinated motion, so your system runs smoothly and produces high-quality welds.
