What Is Welding Tooling?
Welding tooling refers to the specialized fixtures, electrodes, and equipment used to facilitate accurate, repeatable, and high-quality welds. This includes tooling for MIG, TIG, and resistance welding, robotic or manual setups, and all the devices required to hold, align, and support parts during the welding process. Proper welding tooling ensures weld quality, repeatability, and efficiency across production runs.
Equipment & Capabilities
At Arkansas Tool & Die, we are equipped to design and manufacture welding tooling solutions with precision and durability. Our capabilities include:
- Custom resistance welding tooling (electrodes, tips) for spot and projection welding
- MIG and TIG welding tooling frames and alignment fixtures
- Robotic welding tooling, including end-of-arm tooling and part handling fixtures
- High-conductivity materials (copper-based alloys, etc.) for resistance tool components, with water-cooling where needed
- Part-holding fixtures and weld jigs designed for minimal distortion and accurate repeatability
