Custom fabrication
Custom welding and fabrication automation for every job
High-mix, low-volume work doesn't mean you can't automate. The Cobot Welder programs from a smartphone, switches jobs in minutes, and puts production-quality welds on parts your team used to turn down. No robot programming experience needed.

The problems slowing your floor down
Can't find welders
Skilled welders are retiring faster than new ones enter the trade. Your backlog keeps growing while you wait to fill open positions.
Inconsistent quality on repeat parts
Manual welding means variation from part to part and welder to welder. Rework eats into your margins.
Traditional robots don't fit your work
You run high-mix, low-volume. Traditional robotic cells need weeks of programming per part. That doesn't pencil out for 50-piece runs.
How it works
How cobot automation fits your workflow
01
Program from your phone
Set up a new part in minutes in the Beacon app: touch the weld joints, set your parameters, hit start. Your existing team can run it on day one.
02
Weld & monitor in real time
The cobot runs parts while your team fits, grinds, or loads the next batch. Monitoring and quality recommendations come straight to your phone. Catch issues before they become rework.
03
Switch jobs in minutes
Save every part program and recall it instantly, from brackets to enclosures to custom assemblies, without reprogramming. You're not locked into one part.
IRON SUPPORTS — ZERO PROGRAMMERSIn the field
“We had it welding parts in about four hours. My guys can use it, and none of them are programmers. That's the whole point.”
Your automation partner
What we automate for your shop
Welding, cutting, and coating, all controlled from the Beacon app. No robot programmers, no teach pendants, one platform for your entire floor.
COBOT WELDERComprehensive welding
The workhorse of the lineup: MIG and pulsed on carbon, stainless, and aluminum, with TIG-quality results on the work you'd hand to your best welder. Consistent quality no matter who loads the table.Cobot Welder
COBOT CUTTERPlasma cutting & precision profiling
Thin sheet to heavy plate on steel, stainless, and aluminum. Ideal for high-mix batches of 10–500 parts, with no CAD/CAM required.Cobot Cutter
COBOT PAINTERPowder & liquid coatings
Your parts don't ship bare. Roll the explosion-proof Painter into a manual booth, coat your parts, and roll it back out.Cobot Painter
BEACON APPOne platform for the whole shop
One interface across welding, cutting, and painting: real-time monitoring, saved parts, and 24/7 in-app support standard.Beacon platformStart
