Robotic Welding Services That Increase Quality and Cost Savings
Robotic welding services need to be both reliable and cost effective, and at Westlake Tool & Die we stand out from the competition by offering advanced robotic welding services. Our facility has three state-of-the-art robotic automated welding systems that operate all day to deliver high-quality products for our customers.
With our team of experts overseeing routine maintenance and delivering customized solutions, customers can rely on our robotic welding services to provide accurate results, high repeatability, and significant cost savings.
A One-Stop Shop for Stamping, Machining, and Welding
Plenty of suppliers offer metal stamping. Far fewer run three dedicated robots that weld all day long. That difference is what makes robotic welding one of the primary ways Westlake Tool & Die sets itself apart from other shops.
When metal stamping, CNC machining, and robotic welding all happen under one roof, you stop juggling multiple vendors for a single part. One supplier handles the raw stamping, the machined features, and the finished weldment. That means fewer purchases, fewer hand-offs, and one team accountable for the entire assembly.
For customers searching for complex structural welding and finished weldments, this combination is the draw. It turns a stack of separate processes into a single managed supply relationship and removes suppliers from your vendor list rather than adding them.
Robotic Welding Overview
Robotic welding is made possible via an automated welding system equipped with welding tools that are programmed to handle an array of welding operations. This technology is commonly used in industries that require mass production and high-quality welds. Key features of automated welding systems include:
- Automation – Operates without the need for constant human supervision
- Versatility – Capable of performing multiple welding processes
- Precision – Maintains consistent quality and accuracy in welds
- Integration – Can be integrated with other automated systems for streamlined production

High-Value Weldments and Welded Assemblies
A weldment is more than a few parts tacked together. It’s a complete welded assembly, built to spec and ready to move straight onto your line.
Our robotic welding services produce full weldments that combine stamped components, machined parts, and consistent fastener attachment. We weld bolts, screws, and other fasteners into the assembly with the same repeatability the robots bring to every joint. That consistency matters when the weldment feeds directly into your own production and must fit the same way every time.
Pairing robotic welding with our metal stamping and assembly capabilities means your finished welded assemblies leave our floor closer to ready, with fewer steps left for you to manage.
Our Robotic Welding Services and Beyond
We offer a comprehensive range of welding services to meet your unique project needs. At our facility, we employ advanced automated welding systems that provide high-quality MIG welding services for large-scale, repetitive jobs.
Metal Inert Gas (MIG) Welding and More
MIG welding, one of our primary robotic welding services, is known for its speed, precision, and efficiency. Our systems ensure consistency and precision for high-volume production tasks, reducing the risk of human error while also maximizing productivity.
While our robotic welding services provide efficiency and precision on larger, repetitive jobs, we understand that not all welding tasks are suited for automated welding services. In addition to robotic welding, we offer manual welding services as well. These include:
- Tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding – TIG welding is known for its versatility and its ability to be used on a variety of materials. This type of welding is performed by hand and offers a level of precision that is ideal for projects that require a delicate touch.
- Spot welding – Spot welding is particularly effective due to its quickness, reliability, and production of strong joints, especially on thin materials. This makes it an ideal solution for high-volume production where speed is a critical factor.
Details on Our Robotic Welding Process
Our 84” turntable further enhances our capabilities, allowing us to accommodate a variety of projects, including everything from welding 18-gauge sheet metal frames together to welding heavy-gauge, 3/8-inch-thick plates to tubing and special bar stock. Our automated welding system, powered by cutting-edge Lincoln welding power sources and controlled by FANUC robotics, ensures accurate and efficient welding results every time.
We focus on optimizing each weld for different materials and thicknesses, using MIG as our primary robotic welding method. This allows us to quickly meet your needs.
Hands-on experience has allowed us to develop a robot welding process that puts the customer first and accommodate the most complex jobs. We constantly create and design fixtures in-house to ensure complete part reliability and repeatability for a long period of time. We also produce fixtures that weld one assembly together per robot cycle, or as many fixtures as the welding turntable can fit (to maximize robot runtime and reduce costs).
Robotic Welding for Battery, Renewable Energy, and EV Applications
The battery and renewable energy sectors need more than basic frames. They need structural components that hold up under load and stay consistent across high production volumes.
We use robotic welding to assemble major structural components, battery-mounting fixtures, and garage-mount systems for these markets. These are the parts that carry weight, locate other components, and have to be correct every time. Automated welding keeps every unit consistent, which is exactly what high-volume battery and energy programs depend on.
This work serves customers across the energy, electric vehicle, solar, and HVAC industries, where a strong, repeatable structural weld is a core part of the finished product.
Benefits of Our Automated Welding Systems
Whether used for arc welding or spot-welding jobs, our robotic welding systems offer compelling benefits of economy and quality compared to manual welding, including:
- Improved overall weld consistency
- Increased weld efficiency
- Increased material conservation
- Reduced production time
Proven Results: Reducing Lead Times Through Robotic Welding
Robotic welding is not just a capability on paper. One customer who came to us was welding and fabricating by hand, resulting in long lead times and a crowded floor as their volumes grew. We built the tooling and fixtures, applied MIG robotic welding, and finished the assembly by hand. The result cut their lead times by several weeks and freed up a large amount of floor space.

Why Westlake Tool & Die Is Your Robotic Welding Company
Our team has experience in both customizing robots and programming them to perform with precision. We use our comprehensive knowledge to optimally position each robot in our shop, where it will create the highest-quality welds at extremely high rates of speed, which keeps your cost of production low. Each of our robots has a special head design that allows it to weld difficult-to-reach joints together, something that normal stock robots can’t accomplish.
Because we can precisely weld many material types using various thicknesses of welding wire, we’re able to meet your needs quickly and efficiently while providing top-quality weldments that elevate your products to the next level.
It’s also worth knowing what happens before and after the weld. The same shop that builds your weldment can stamp the parts that go into it and machine the features that need tight tolerances. Explore our CNC machining and assembly services to see how the full process fits together.
