We Deliver Simple Solutions to the Manufacturing World

We design and build a full range of heavy machinery for plants domestic and abroad. We specialize in automated welding machines including rotary welders, linear and circumferential seam welders, welding lathes and positioners, press welders, tooling and fixturing, as well as non-welding peripherals such as custom presses, planishers, robotic systems, and other hard-to-find systems.

Yes, Bancroft delivers turnkey automation systems, including robotic cells, custom automated tooling, vision-guided automation, material handling automation, and integrated digital weld control systems.

Absolutely. Every system can be configured for part size, weld specifications, cycle time requirements, joint type, fixturing needs, and operator workflow. We specialize in designing custom solutions for complex or high-precision applications.

We work with manufacturers in aerospace, agriculture, automotive, construction equipment, oil & gas, heavy equipment, energy, and general fabrication, as well as welding education and R&D environments.

Lead times vary depending on the scope and level of customization. Standard equipment may be available faster, while full automation systems require engineering design and build phases. Contact us for current delivery timelines.

Yes. Our team handles installation, operator training, on-site and remote support, spare parts, and maintenance services to ensure maximum uptime and performance.

Yes, we regularly retrofit and integrate systems into existing workflows, welding platforms, and robotic environments to improve efficiency without requiring a full replacement.

MIG, TIG, Flux-Cored, Laser, Plasma, Sub-Arc and more. We configure equipment around your process requirements and weld quality standards.

Automation is designed to support and enhance skilled labor, not only replace it. Our systems improve repeatability and throughput while allowing welders to move into higher-value roles such as oversight, operation, and quality control.

If you’re experiencing labor shortages, inconsistent weld quality, rising scrap and rework, bottlenecks, or longer lead times, automation can dramatically improve efficiency and profitability. We offer ROI evaluations and consultation to determine the right fit.
