Any setup or operator training expenses (if applicable).

Recurring Savings Data

Fully loaded cost per hour (wages + benefits, if relevant).

Estimated setup/positioning hours you save by using a fixture table.

Average number of projects (jobs) each month that would use the table.

Estimated cost saved by reducing scrap, mistakes, or rework per job.

Disclaimer: These estimates are for guidance only. Actual savings, ROI, and payback may vary based on your unique operations, labor costs, and shipping fees.

How to Estimate Each Value

  • Fixture Table Cost: Base price for the welding fixture table itself.
  • Shipping Cost: Freight or delivery charges, especially for large/heavy tables.
  • Accessories Cost: Clamps, modular parts, or any extra components needed.
  • Training Cost: Setup or operator training expenses, if applicable.
  • Hourly Labor Cost: Fully loaded labor rate (wages + benefits, if relevant).
  • Hours Saved per Job: Estimated reduction in setup/positioning time with a fixture table.
  • Jobs per Month: Number of projects that will utilize the fixture table monthly.
  • Rework Savings per Job: Cost saved from reducing scrap, rework, or mistakes per job.

Pro Tips for Welding & Business Efficiency

  • Optimize Workflow: Position tools, clamps, and materials to minimize downtime.
  • Use Modular Fixtures: Adaptable tables reduce setup changes for varying part sizes.
  • Invest in Training: Skilled welders handle equipment more effectively, reducing errors.
  • Leverage Technology: Scheduling, cost tracking, or job sequencing software can boost productivity.
  • Standardize Processes: Document best practices so all team members follow the same approach.
  • Continuous Improvement: Gather feedback and review workflows periodically to find new efficiencies.

Additional Info: Average Savings & Efficiency Gains

  • Time Saved: Using a fixture table can reduce setup time by 30–50%, minimizing adjustments and positioning.
  • Quality Improvements: Better alignment can reduce rework by 20–40%, improving weld consistency.
  • Operator Consistency: Less-skilled welders produce more uniform results thanks to guided positioning.
  • Typical Payback: Moderate-volume shops often recoup costs in 6–12 months, depending on complexity.
  • Increased Throughput: Faster changeovers can boost production by 10–30% on repetitive jobs.

Note: By minimizing set-up time and rework, fixture tables improve overall welding efficiency—translating into faster production cycles and streamlined operations.
