Benefits: Save Time, Money & Anxiety

Rentapen leverages its design experience to streamline the engineering and development process, getting production underway with speed and accuracy. We take full advantage of our strong knowledge base, deep history, qualified experience – along with our catalog of RAPid Tooling Components to produce custom fixtures that leverage proven engineering and production components. Our weld fixture designs take less time and cost less to build because we frequently integrate standardized, purchased components into our custom designs when and where a standard tool meets the need. We are not trying to reinvent the wheel.

We design and build a full spectrum of welding fixtures – from the simplest sub-assembly fit and tack fixtures to multi-step pneumatic and hydraulic clamping fixtures for the highest quality, highest volume precision parts. We serve a wide range of manufacturing industries – from trucking and landscaping to furniture and construction. (See box for industries served.) Our engineering teams design a range of fixtures – from manual tooling to multi-step robotic welding fixtures to solve challenging production and assembly challenges. Rentapen is the go-to resource for robot manufacturers and distributors. Our fixtures, designed for the exacting rigors of a robotic welding cell, have helped hundreds of manufacturers to achieve the precise repeatability potential that welding robots provide.
