Why start here

Built to be your first robot

No caging, no programming expertise, no long integration timelines.

In production in hours

Ships pre-mounted and pre-wired. Most shops go from unboxing to running parts the same day. No integrator, no engineers.

Your team runs it on day one

Tap-to-teach with the Smart Puck and shop-floor language in the app. If your welder can read a WPS, they can run this.

Beacon included free

Real-time monitoring, unlimited users, file backup, and 24/7 in-app support, with most tickets answered in 2 minutes or less. No subscription required.

Financing that fits a small operation

Rent-to-own after a demo, financing options, and most systems paying for themselves within 18 months.

The de-risked path

Questions

Common first-cobot questions

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 does it cost?

The Cobot Welder starts at $105,000, the Cobot Cutter at $100,000, and the Cobot Painter at $140,000. Each is a complete, ready-to-run system including the robot, application equipment, hand-teaching tool, and Beacon software. Financing options are available, and most systems pay for themselves within 18 months.

Do I need a robot programmer?

No. Beacon speaks the shop's language: wire feed speed and travel speed, not lines of code. Your team teaches parts by hand-guiding the arm and tapping to save points, and no robotics engineers or specialized programmers are needed to run or scale the system.

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.
