"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., VP of Operations, Central Texas Iron Works

Central Texas Iron Works needed a way to maintain production capacity and weld quality while navigating a shrinking labor pool of highly skilled welders.

The team faced this problem head-on, achieving CJP welds that pass ultrasonic testing by deploying mobile Vectis Rover™ systems. Cobots support the team with these difficult, time-intensive welds while skilled welders work alongside the systems to maximize their capacity.

We’re excited to share that Vectis will be at Australian Manufacturing Week in Brisbane, 12-14 May, alongside our partners at Impact Machinery Pty Ltd!

Vectis tools are already hard at work in fab shops across the region, and we’re excited to continue bringing Australian fabricators the mobile, off-the-cart fabrication flexibility of Vectis tools.

Join us in Booth #1200 for live programming demos and real-world application discussions. Attendees can also hear from Vectis Regional Manager Graham Williams, who will be presenting on how collaborative robots are being implemented in modern fabrication environments, and providing a practical checklist to evaluate whether a cobot solution is the right fit for your operation.

We’re looking forward to connecting with more manufacturers across Australia! If you’re attending, or you’re interested in learning more about our mobile cobot fabrication tools, reach out to the team to start the conversation.

Good Luck and have a great show Vectis Automation and partners!
