Robot welding & cutting integration · Schertz, TX
Robot cells that run on your floor, not just in a demo.
MPFab Robotics designs fixtures, programs OTC Daihen welding and plasma cells, stands them up at your plant, and writes load procedures your operators can actually follow.
Shop-floor first. NDA-friendly. Installs across Texas and out of state.
WHAT WE DO
Integration from fixture to first good part.
Not a brochure house. The work is designing the tooling, teaching the robot, proving it repeats, and leaving the floor with something they can run.
Robot weld cells — OTC Daihen arms and Welbee power sources. Single-robot, dual-robot, multi-station, and multi-unit cells with headstock/slave interlocks and home permissives.
Fixture design — Tab-and-slot fixtures built for real plasma- and waterjet-cut parts that drift. Pipe-nozzle fixtures from 2” to 12”.
Seam tracking & touch sense Thru-arc seam tracking and touch sense so the robot finds the joint when the parts aren’t perfect.
Positioners — OTC aux-axis headstocks, skyhook-style tilt/rotate, and cradle tooling. TCP and aux axes calibrated before production.
Plasma cutting cells — Robotic air plasma on OTC, including plasma cut + weld cells on a downdraft table.
Floor documentation — Laminated process charts and load procedures written for the operator, not the engineer.
HOW WE WORK
Plain process. No surprises at startup.
1 Look at the part — Prints, cut parts, volumes, and how the parts actually show up at the cell.
2 Design the fixture — Tooling built for real parts that drift, not the ideal CAD model.
3 Teach & prove — Teach on the pendant. Calibrate TCP and aux axes. Prove repeatability before production.
4 Stand it up & document — Install at your plant and leave process charts operators can follow.

About
Brent “BA” Akin
Decades in robots, welding, fixtures, industrial gas, and machine tools, including time with Hyd-Mech and Capital Machine. MPFab Robotics is the result: an integrator who has run the equipment, not just sold it.
