Frequently asked questions
Common questions about FLEXTUR from 3G Electric.
What is the hole diameter on FLEXTUR modular welding tables?
FLEXTUR modular welding tables use a 5/8-inch hole diameter for fixturing. This is the interface size for locator pins, clamps, and other tooling that mounts through the table surface. The 5/8-inch pattern is consistent across the fixed-height and mobile table models listed, including the 30 in × 36 in, 48 in × 48 in, and 48 in × 96 in sizes. When selecting accessories, confirm that the tooling shank or mounting stud matches the 5/8-inch hole. FLEXTUR fixturing kits, such as the one with four 2.0-inch locator pins, are designed for this hole pattern.
What weight capacity do FLEXTUR welding tables support?
FLEXTUR welding tables are rated at either 2,000 lb or 4,000 lb depending on the model. The fixed-height tables in 30 in × 36 in and 72 in × 36 in sizes carry a 2,000 lb capacity. The mobile fixed-height tables in 48 in × 48 in and 48 in × 96 in sizes carry a 4,000 lb capacity. Capacity is a static load rating for the table surface. When using the mobile tables, consider the total load including fixtures and workpieces, and verify that the casters and floor conditions are suitable for the applied weight.
What is included in a FLEXTUR fixturing kit?
A FLEXTUR fixturing kit includes four 2.0-inch Flextur Locator Pins. These pins are used with the Flextur Welding Table to position and align workpieces during welding or assembly. The pins insert into the 5/8-inch holes in the table surface. The kit is identified by manufacturer part number 78908270. Additional fixturing components, such as clamps and riser blocks, are available separately. The locator pins provide repeatable positioning, which is useful when multiple identical parts are welded or assembled on the same table.
What are FLEXTUR riser blocks used for?
FLEXTUR riser blocks elevate workpieces or fixtures above the table surface for precise positioning during drilling, milling, or inspection. The 6-inch riser block, manufacturer part number 78908245, provides stable support at a fixed height. Riser blocks are used when a workpiece needs to be raised to a comfortable working height or when clearance is needed for tooling. They can be combined with locator pins and clamps to build a fixture setup on a modular welding table. The 5/8-inch hole pattern on the table allows riser blocks to be positioned as needed.
What are the dimensions of the FLEXTUR cobot docking station?
The FLEXTUR cobot docking station measures 35 inches in height, 40 inches in depth, and 40 inches in width. It has a powder-coated finish and is designed to provide a secure base for collaborative robots in industrial automation. The docking station is identified by manufacturer part number 71500058. It is a separate product from the welding tables and is specified for automation cells where a cobot needs a fixed mounting platform. When integrating a cobot, confirm that the docking station footprint and mounting interface match the robot model and the cell layout.
Are FLEXTUR welding tables available in mobile configurations?
Yes. FLEXTUR offers mobile fixed-height modular welding tables in addition to fixed-height stationary models. The mobile tables are available in 48 in × 48 in and 48 in × 96 in sizes, both with a 4,000 lb weight capacity and a 35-inch working height. They have a plain surface with 5/8-inch holes for clamping and fixturing. The mobile configuration allows the table to be repositioned within a fabrication or assembly area. When moving a loaded table, follow the manufacturer's instructions for safe handling and ensure the floor surface is suitable for the casters.
