Wondering if a Welding Cobot Fits Your Shop?

 

 

Can't find skilled welders?

 

 

Too much rework, not enough output?

 

 

 

 

Struggling to grow without more overhead?

 

 

Need to do more with the same crew?

 

 

Beacon cobots are designed for exactly that. Easy to adopt. Easy to scale. Easy to trust.

Hirebotics vs. Traditional Robots: What's the Difference?

Traditional Systems

  • Built for factories with automation teams
  • Designed for robotic programmers
  • Set up takes weeks to months
  • Low flexibility. Best for high-volume, low-mix.

Hirebotics +

Built for shops like yours.

  • Built for people, not programmers
  • Hand-guided and app-driven
  • Built-in safety – no fencing required
  • Set up in hours
  • Designed for flexibility, not just volume

Hirebotics cobots are the modern fabricator's power tool.

When Welders Are Hard to Find, Beacon Makes the Most of the Team You Have

Skilled welders are in short supply—and your best people shouldn't be stuck repeating the same weld 400 times a day.

Beacon takes care of the repetitive work, so your team can stay focused, safe, and productive.

 

 

Programming That Doesn't Feel Like Programming

Traditional teach pendants are slow, complex, and clunky.

With beacon, it's tap, weld, done.

Use the Beacon app to program welds in minutes — no robot expertise required.

“We increased our output 400% compared to manual welding.”

Mark Moye, Plant Manager, Advanta Southeast

MIG is the Go-To for Robotic Arc Welding

Most robotic welding runs on MIG—for good reason. It’s fast, consistent, and easy to automate. That makes it a natural fit for cobots.

MIG welding works across a wide range of part types and joint configurations, and it’s especially effective for high-deposition applications. With Beacon-powered cobots, you can handle carbon steel, stainless, and aluminum – right out of the box.

Enhanced User Experience

Hirebotics cobots MIG weld:

Mild steel
Carbon steel
Stainless steel
Aluminum

 

While TIG is sometimes needed for specific finishes or materials, many shops find they can transition from TIG to MIG and maintain the integrity they need—while dramatically increasing speed and throughput.

For example, DeAngelo Marine Exhaust Inc. got a 10X welding production boost by using our MIG Cobot Welder to replace manual TIG.

Where Beacon Welding Cobots Work Best

Our arc welding cobots thrive in:

High-mix, low-volume work

Perfect for shops with diverse product lines

 

Repetitive welds using jigs and fixtures

Consistent quality on every pass

 

Short-run production

Quick setup for limited production runs

 

Small to mid-sized parts

Ideal for components and assemblies

 

Whether you're building brackets or custom assemblies, Beacon delivers repeatability without the hassle.

“We have had fewer overtime hours with hand welding as we have been able to assign more jobs to Cobot Welder. We’ve increased our profits just by cutting out on overtime.”

Ryan Lockhard, Robotic Weld Head, Spectrum Metalcraft, a Vortex Company

The Real-World Impact of + Cobots

More output. Less rework. Happier team. Better margins.

Our Our customers reduce rework, eliminate costly overtime, and take on more jobs — without adding headcount.

With consistent welds every time, they also cut gas and wire waste, just by avoiding overwelding.

One Cobot. Endless Possibilities.

Hirebotics cobots adapt to your workflow—not the other way around. Switch jobs fast. Handle multiple materials. Deliver consistent quality across part types.

Do More. Spend Less.

Eliminate bottlenecks. Scale without overtime. Hirebotics cobots give you the edge to win more jobs—profitably.

A Safer Way to Weld

Keep your welders away from heat, sparks, and fumes. With collaborative safety built in, Hirebotics cobots reduce risk without compromising output.

“It takes 5 to 10 minutes to set everything up with Cobot Welder. Traditional robot programming can take hours. 

We had welders learn how to use Cobot Welder in about half an hour, and has allowed us to let non-welders operate the machine. They don’t need to learn programming language.”

Matt Blowers, Manufacturing Engineer, IMS

Welding Automation, Without the Learning Curve

We believe anyone on your team should be able to run a welding cobot — no programming background required. That’s why we built Beacon.

If you can use a smartphone, you can weld with Beacon. Most shops are up and running in a day—making repeatable, production-quality welds in minutes.

Beacon removes the barriers to robotic welding:

  • Automatically sets your Tool Center Point
  • No complex teach pendants
  • No XYZ coordinates
  • No robotic jargon to learn

Powering the Future of Fabrication

With 600+ Beacon systems in shops across North America, we're helping fabricators reclaim their time, talent, and output.
