The Indianapolis-based robotic welding integration leader is slated to exhibit at booth #S44061, showcasing modular tracking systems, linear rail positioners, and centralized software packages designed to expand collaborative robotic reach in metal fabrication.
MobileRunner Modular Track Debuts at FABTECH 2026
Among the primary hardware introductions is the MobileRunner modular track, a linear positioner built to carry systems mounted on THG Automation’s existing Mobile Platform system. According to digitalmarketreports.com, the rail uses a servo motor paired with a heat-treated rack and pinion drivetrain. The system starts at three meters in length and features modular expandability in one-meter increments to increase the operational envelope of shop floor cobots.
CobotRunner External Axis and Rail Positioner
THG Automation is also introducing the CobotRunner linear rail positioner. The setup provides fabricators with increased flexibility, allowing the cobot arm to access geometric zones on large parts that standard standalone configurations cannot reach.
MegaCAP Software Integration Package
On the software side, the company is launching MegaCAP, a single software package that integrates advanced MIG welding applications and technologies. The software updates existing functionalities to give operators access to advanced welding controls directly at the interface.
Additional Hardware on Display in Las Vegas
Beyond the MobileRunner and CobotRunner, THG Automation’s booth will feature several specific automation setups.
- The MobileRunner linear rail system equipped with a 2-axis positioner.
- A 5-foot by 10-foot Siegmund welding table featuring a MIG/TIG tool changer and a 2-meter linear rail.
- A modular Push-Pull CMT system paired with a Fronius iWave 400.
- An IPG Lightweld 1500XR laser welding system.
- A modular air-cooled system utilizing the Fronius TPSi.
Industry Context and Show Details
FABTECH 2026 runs from October 21 to October 23, 2026, at the Las Vegas Convention Center. “With visitors from all over the world, this is the premier metal fabrication show in the US and the best place to showcase new innovations to the industry.” THG Automation designs and assembles collaborative robotic welding systems for clients ranging from independent local fabricators to international aerospace manufacturers.
