Webinar: From Hand-Cut to High-Precision: How Cobots Are Revolutionizing Plasma Cutting & Welding for Fab Shops

Tank Technologies went from hand-cutting bottlenecks to buying additional welders. See their complete transformation—and calculate your own automation ROI.

Sound Familiar?

Turning down work because you can’t find skilled welders
Weld quality varies by shift, causing costly rework
Hand-cutting creates downstream bottlenecks that slow everything down
Traditional robot quotes are too complex, rigid, or expensive for your high-mix needs

Pain Point: Every welder needs parts that were cut. If you’re hand-cutting, you’re forcing expensive hand-welding downstream. Tank Technologies broke this cycle – and you can too.

In 45 Minutes, You’ll Discover:

Real Numbers: Tank Technologies’ actual productivity gains and ROI timeline
Beyond MIG Welding: How plasma cutting automation unlocks your entire workflow
High-Mix Solution: Why cobots work for shops with varying part sizes (unlike other rigid systems)
No Integrator Needed: Deploy faster than traditional automation
Hidden Opportunities: Plasma applications you’re missing that could replace mag drill and acetylene processes

Tank Technologies (25-250 Employee Range):

Eric shares real metrics from a shop your size
“Before cobots, we were stuck hand-welding because everything was hand-cut. Now we’re buying additional welders to keep up with our cobot-cut precision parts.”
