Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of ROI can Cobot Cutter provide to my shop?

Depending on your production factors, cobots can 2-10X your fabrication productivity. Most shops see 2-4X the production output, saving them significant labor hours and freeing their staff to work manually on tasks that matter the most. Read our case studies to get a better idea of just how powerful cobots can be.

Will the Cobot Cutter improve the cut quality and reduce rework?

Yes! Besides drastically improving your output, the Cobot Cutter will almost eliminate rework. Manual plasma cutting can leave dross, cut away too much material, and make substantial accuracy errors. Our Cobot Cutter does none of that, preventing costly rework and bottlenecks.

Does Cobot Cutter require post-cut work?

Our Cobot Cutter eliminates post-cutting work in the vast majority of cutting applications.

Is the Cobot Cutter a better option than CNC?

CNC plasma cutting is excellent for precision work, but it requires working with CAM/CAD software. Beacon makes our Cobot Cutter easier to set for any part batch than CNC machines and lets you handle geometry that’s not always suitable for CNC. So, for the majority of high-mix/low-volume parts, the Cobot Cutter is a better choice.

Can the Cobot Cutter cut all metals?

Every metal that conducts electricity can be plasma cut, which includes every material typically used in shops. The Cobot Cutter makes the process easier and improves cut quality.

Is Cobot Cutter a good choice for high-mix/low-volume parts?

Yes! Cobots are perfect for small to medium-sized batches. So, if you frequently make batches of 10-500 parts, the Cobot Cutter will make your job far easier.

Can Cobot Cutter handle curved and complex geometry?

You can achieve nearly any cut shape with our Cobot Cutter and the Beacon app. This includes working on curved objects, like tank heads.

What is the reach of the cobot?

Our Cobot Solutions use either the Universal Robots UR10e (51" reach) or the UR20 (68.9" reach). Each joint has full 360º rotations.
