FAb Fours manufacturers bumpers for off road trucks. In he FAQ section they mention they do not use robots but had build everything themselves. I recently posted a video of the robotic construction of Chevy V 8 engine. If you are going for volume and reliability, that makes sense. I doubt Fab Fours has the volume to afford the robots, which is why they are not using them.
I have long thought those who are accustomed to fabricating metal object int he oil field industry could diversify into custom fabrication like this. But I am not yet aware of anyone in Texas doing this. I wonder why not. With the oil field on the downside this wold be a good time to start such a business.
And so you say, what do these things sell for? I looked it up. would you believe $1,000-2,000?
