Vectis Automation

06/19/2026

Recently, we had the opportunity to welcome local students from Poudre High School's P-TECH program to Vectis HQ for a hands-on look at modern manufacturing and the role automation is playing on today’s shop floor.

It's always an honor to host students and get the next generation excited about the possibilities of advanced manufacturing!

We appreciate the P-TECH team for spending the morning with us and asking thoughtful questions along the way.

“Our biggest differentiator is our ability to scale. Our Vectis cobots in welding have helped us to do that.”

As grown from 1 Vectis system to 7 in production, they’ve been able to continually scale as company alongside their customers, taking on increasingly large jobs that previously would’ve been limited by their manual welding capacity.

Now, Caltech looks back on that initial investment into welding automation as “one of the best decisions we ever made.”

We’re honored to partner with Caltech and the 800+ fabricators increasing their welding capacity with the help of Vectis tools!

Showcasing flexible cobot solutions all across North America!

Last week saw the Vectis and Advanced Motion & Controls Ltd. teams at FABTECH Canada, where we enjoyed a very busy week of application discussions, live welding demos, and new product debuts.

The team also had the opportunity to join Kopar and Universal Robots in Monterrey for Automation Match Day, showcasing what practical automation can look like on the shop floor.

Thank you to our great partners who make these events possible, and thank you to everyone who took the time to connect with the team and discuss your challenges – we’re looking forward to continuing these conversations and seeing if Vectis tools can lend a hand!

“The support with Vectis has been the reason why we keep coming back. The [cobot] integrator is absolutely everything.”

When Caltech Manufacturing INC first invested in welding automation, their goal was to eliminate their bottleneck in welding to continue growing as a company.

What began with 1 Vectis cobot has expanded to 7 systems as the company continues to scale, enabling Caltech to tackle demanding production schedules, build internal automation expertise to tackle a wide variety of applications, and create a sustainable foundation for continued growth.

By partnering with Vectis, Caltech was able to:
⚡ Sustainably grow as a company through long-term application support and technical expertise
⚡ Scale alongside their customers and take on increasingly large projects
⚡ Run production schedules up to 20-24 hours a day, 6-7 days a week
⚡ Shift repetitive aluminum weldments from manual TIG welding to automated MIG welding

Robust equipment and software capability are crucial - but just as important is choosing a cobot integrator/automation partner with the service & support to help you continue growing long after the initial deployment.

Hear in Caltech's own words why the right automation partner makes all the difference as your business continues to grow:

Day 2 of FABTECH Canada is underway!

We're running live programming & welding demos and showcasing cobot fabrication tools designed around a simple philosophy: helping manufacturers increase productivity with tools that are extremely flexible, easy to use, and built for real shop-floor success.

Visit us at Booth 12069 alongside Advanced Motion & Controls Ltd. to discuss your applications and see the latest Vectis innovations in software and cobot deployment, and swing by Translas North America Booth 9051 to see live welding in action.

There's still plenty of time to connect with the team this week - thank you to everyone who has already stopped by, and we look forward to more great conversations throughout the show!

“Perfect weld. No stop-starts."

With FABTECH Canada just days away, take a look at this recent story from KYJO Steel - one of the 800+ fabricators putting Vectis tools to work across a wide range of applications every day.

Join us alongside Advanced Motion & Controls Ltd. at FABTECH Canada, June 9-11 in Booth #12069, to connect with the Vectis team and learn how fabricators are leveraging cobot welding & cutting to increase consistency, quality, and productivity on the shop floor.

We’d love to discuss your unique applications and explore how Vectis tools could fit into your operation.

A sincere thank you to everyone who has taken the time to connect with the Vectis team at the American Welding Society Welding Automation Expo & Conference this week. The conversations and presentations have reinforced an important theme: successful automation is about far more than technology alone. It requires the right strategy, the right processes, and the right people to champion it.

It’s been especially encouraging to see so many manufacturers taking the time to approach automation the right way by learning from the experiences of others and focusing on sustainable, long-term success.

We were honored to have Vectis Chairman & Co-Founder Doug Rhoda and Regional Manager Kyle Anderson contribute to the conversation this week, and we appreciate everyone who joined us to share their perspectives and make this week such a valuable learning experience.

10,368 welds and 0.34 miles of weld bead in one week.

Thank you to the team at H&H Metals for sharing these impressive production numbers from their Vectis system!

Applications like these are a great example of where cobot welding can provide real value, taking on repetitive welding tasks while skilled welders stay focused on fit-up, complex fabrication, quality, and the many other jobs that require their expertise.
