Cobot Welder

Purpose-built robotic welding for your shop floor

A collaborative welding robot that works alongside your team. No safety caging, no programming expertise, no long integration timelines. Set up in hours, teach a weld path by hand-guiding the torch, and press start.

Will it run your parts

Most shops rule themselves out too early

Too big. Too round. Too varied. Too hard to weld. Your work doesn't have to fit a robot's limitations.

Too big for a cell

An overhead gantry carries the cobot across work too large to bring into a fixed cell. The part stays where it is.

Round, long, or awkward

A rotary kit turns pipe and tube under the torch for continuous welds. A headstock and tailstock hold long round work between centers.

Too many parts, too little repetition

Teaching a part takes minutes, and the part is saved. When that order comes back, the setup is already done.

Fit-up is never perfect

Seam tracking follows the joint in real time, correcting for gaps and misalignment as it goes. Your parts don't have to be perfect.

The package

Pre-mounted, pre-wired, ready to run

No third parties, no delays, no specialists required.

Your part doesn't have to fit the cell. Start from what your work needs: long, round, thick, or two at a time.

Hardware

Bolts onto the cell, quoted with your system.

Water-Cooled Torch Kit

A water-cooled MIG torch in place of the air-cooled standard, for high-amperage, high-duty-cycle welding

Rotary Kit

Rotates round parts under the torch for continuous welds on pipe and tube

Secondary Operator Button

A second start button so one station keeps running while you load the other

Fixture Table

A second table for staging and fixturing the next part while the current one runs

Linear Rail

Extends the cobot's envelope along the part; standard modules add length

COMING SOON

Index Table

Rotates fixtured parts between positions so the cobot works one side while you load the other

COMING SOON

Overhead Gantry

Overhead travel that carries the cobot across parts too large to bring to it

COMING SOON

Headstock + Tailstock

Holds a long assembly at both ends and turns it, bringing each weld or cut into position without a crane

The app

Your welders teach it. Your welders run it.

Teach, run and monitor parts from the Beacon app.

  • Teach a path by hand-guiding the torch with the Smart Puck
  • Parts are step-by-step instructions your team already understands
  • Run and monitor from any phone, tablet, or browser
  • Start with one; Beacon scales to your whole operation

How it works

From demo to deployment in four steps

01

Schedule a demo

See how the Cobot Welder fits your production, with hands-on insight from our team.

02

Spec your system

We help you select the right model, configure your tools, and prepare for deployment.

03

Teach the first part

Guide the Smart Puck through the weld, then save the part. Edit and reload on the fly.

04

Run and track

Start welding and tracking output right away, with cycle times, gas consumption, and parts produced.

Case study

“Our first Cobot Welder arrived within two weeks. By the end of that same day, we were welding parts. That never happens with robotics.”

Questions

You have questions, we have answers

Who is cobot welding for?

Fabrication shops, contract manufacturers, and OEMs that need reliable welding output without the cost and complexity of traditional robotic cells. If you're short on skilled welders, fighting inconsistent quality, or turning down work, cobot welding fills the gap. It's especially effective for shops mixing short-run and repeat jobs, since you reprogram in minutes, not days.

What kind of ROI can the Cobot Welder provide?

Depending on your production factors, cobots can 2–10× your fabrication productivity. Most shops see 2–4× the output, saving significant labor hours and freeing your team for the work that matters most.

Can I weld aluminum with the Cobot Welder?

Yes. Just like MIG welding aluminum manually, a few settings and accessory adjustments let you produce high-quality aluminum welds with the Cobot Welder.

Will it weld my parts?

The Cobot Welder handles most repetitive welding work, but part suitability depends on size, material, and joint access. Start with the parts gallery of brackets, exhaust, sheet metal, and weldments other shops already run. Then bring your parts to a demo and we'll assess your application directly.

See parts we've run →
How fast can I weld with the Cobot Welder?

The cobot moves at up to 39 inches per second, and welds at up to 90 inches per minute. That's far faster than a human can weld, with extremely low heat input and maximum productivity.

Can I replace manual TIG welding?

Yes. Customers have achieved TIG-quality welds using MIG processes. One shop went from 2–5 inches per minute hand-TIG to 20 inches per minute, clearing their backlog in a few weeks.

Do I need to buy upfront?

No. After a demonstration you can enter the rent-to-own program and fully commit once you're ready, validating the cobot's performance on your own floor first. Typical lead time is about two weeks from purchase order.
