Plug & Play Cobot Cutter
Robotic Plasma Cutting with Precision.
SOLUTIONS
Plasma Cutting to Keep Your Shop Moving.
Fab shops today face growing backlogs and fewer skilled hands on deck. The Cobot Cutter puts a powerful cutting tool directly in your team’s hands, no need to hire automation experts or overhaul your workforce. All you need is a tablet and a job to run.
This isn’t a machine that gathers dust waiting for a specialist. It stays in motion, helping welders, cutters, and fabricators stay productive without slowing down or causing confusion.
Fast Setup
Get cutting in hours. The Cutter arrives ready to go, preconfigured with everything you need. No engineering team required.
Simple to Run
The Beacon app lets your team control jobs from a phone or tablet. No need for external software or complex training. Just select the job and hit go.
Wide Range of Materials
From thin sheet to heavy plate, the Cutter tackles steel, stainless, and aluminum with clean, repeatable results.
Consistent Throughput
More parts per shift means tighter delivery schedules and fewer late nights. Let your crew focus on what they do best while the Cutter handles the repetition.

Capabilities
See What Our Cobot Plasma Cutter Can Do For You
The Cobot Cutter empowers fabricators to cut faster, cleaner, and with less hassle; no programming required. Built for real-world shop floors rather than code-heavy CNC environments, it combines industrial-grade plasma cutting with an intuitive collaborative robot and Beacon’s powerful no-code software. From day one, your team can deliver accurate, repeatable cuts across a wide range of materials and part types.
Cutting automation, reimagined for the people who actually use it.
Safe Collaborative Operation
Designed to work safely alongside welders without cages or enclosures. Sensors and collision detection cut operator fatigue and exposure to sparks—keeping your team both safe and productive
Precision Plasma Cutting
Executes accurate, repeatable plasma cuts across steel, aluminum, and stainless materials — from thin sheet to thick plate.
Consistent, High‑Quality Cuts
Maintains perfect standoff, angle, and torch speed—ensuring weld-ready edges every time, even during long runs. Precision control dramatically reduces scrap and rework
Smart Torch Guidance
Allows welders to hand-guide the torch through a desired path; the system records and automates it for consistent, repeatable cuts.

FAQs
You Have Questions, We Have Answers
What kind of ROI can Cobot Cutter provide to my shop?
Depending on your workflow, cobots can boost fabrication productivity by 2 to 10 times. Most shops experience 2–4X more output, saving labor hours and letting your team focus on high-value manual tasks.
Check out our case studies to see how cobots deliver real results.
Will the Cobot Cutter improve the cut quality and reduce rework?
Absolutely. The Cobot Cutter delivers cleaner, more precise cuts than manual plasma cutting, significantly reducing dross, excess material removal, and accuracy errors. This means far less rework and fewer bottlenecks—saving time and costs.
Can the Cobot Cutter cut all metals?
Yes. Any metal that conducts electricity can be plasma cut, which covers virtually all common shop materials. The Cobot Cutter makes the process easier and improves cut quality.
What is the reach of the cobot?
Our Cobot Solutions use the UR-8L (68.9″ reach). Each joint has full 360º rotations.
Does Cobot Cutter require post-cut work?
In most cases, no. The Cobot Cutter eliminates post-cut cleanup for the vast majority of cutting applications.
Is the Cobot Cutter a better option than CNC?
For precision jobs, CNC plasma cutting excels but requires CAM/CAD programming. The Cobot Cutter is easier to set up for varied parts without specialized software and handles complex geometries that CNC can’t. It’s often the better choice for high-mix, low-volume batches.
Is Cobot Cutter a good choice for high-mix/low-volume parts?
Absolutely. It’s ideal for small to medium batch sizes—typically between 10 and 500 parts—making these jobs faster and simpler.
Can Cobot Cutter handle curved and complex geometry?
Yes. Using the Beacon app, you can program nearly any cut shape, including curved surfaces like tank heads.
