Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of ROI can Cobot Welder 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.

Can I weld aluminum with the Cobot Welder?

Yes, you can! Just like you would MIG weld aluminum manually, with a few settings and accessory adjustments, and you can produce high-quality aluminum welds. See more information here.

Will Cobot Welder weld my parts?

Our Cobot Welder can complete most repetitive welding tasks, but the part suitability depends on the part size, material type, and more. The best way to know for sure is to reach out to us for a demo so we can best assess your application needs.

How fast can I weld with a Cobot Welder?

The cobot's maximum speed is approximately 39 inches per second (1 meter). However, when welding, the Cobot Welder can weld up to 90 inches per minute. This is extremely fast—far faster than a human can weld, giving you extremely low heat input and maximum productivity.

However, if you need to weld faster, contact us so we can better understand your needs.

Can I replace manual TIG welding with the Cobot Welder?

Indeed! We have a great article explaining how one of our clients got TIG-quality welds with the Cobot Welder. 

They were able to speed up their TIG welding from 2 to 5 inches a minute up to 20 inches a minute! 😲🤯

This enabled them to clear their daunting backlog in just a few weeks!

Learn more about their experience here!

What type of support do you offer?

Our in-app chat support is built right into the Beacon interface! On average, we respond in 2 minutes directly in your Beacon app.

Do I need to buy the Cobot Welder to see if my fab shop will benefit from it?

You don't need to! After our demonstration, you can enter our rent-to-own program and fully commit once you are ready.

What is the lead time for getting the Cobot Welder?

Generally, our lead time is approximately 2 weeks from receiving your PO. Reach out to us anytime about our current lead time if you need a system sooner!

What do I need to know about safety when cobot welding?

While cobots have numerous safety features built-in and do not require safety cages like traditional automation, there are some important safety items to keep in mind when cobot welding.

Most importantly and just like manual welding, your welders need proper PPE.  You'll also want to make sure you protect your welders with arc flash protection like you do for your manual weld stations.  And don't forget fume extraction.
