One platform runs every cobot on your floor
Beacon is the software behind app-controlled welding, cutting, and painting cobots, programmed by your team with no code or teach pendant. Start with one, scale to your whole operation.

Simple on day one. The same app across a fleet.
Add a cobot, then a cell, then a plant — it's the same Beacon the whole way, so every step builds on the last instead of starting over.
The person who knows the part is the one who teaches it. Grab the tool on the wrist of the arm — the Smart Puck for welding and cutting, a spray-gun handle for painting — guide it through the part, capturing the path as you go. The cobot then repeats it, and your team's knowledge becomes something the whole operation can use.
No teach pendant, no code, no integrator
Same teaching workflow across every process
Your team works in the terms they already know — travel speed, wire feed, amperage — and Beacon handles the robot motion. A new operator picks a part and presses play; an experienced hand teaches the next one. Each person gets the access their role needs.

Settings library for repeat parts
See every cell from one place
Watch live production across every robot and every site: parts completed, arc-on and cut time, cycle times, gas and consumable use. The history tells you whether a change actually worked. Export it when your team wants to dig deeper.

Where the payback comes from
Modeled on welding; cutting & painting next
A taught part runs the same way on every shift, so your output doesn't move with who's on the floor.
The cobot repeats the taught path every cycle. Part one and part one thousand come out the same.

Three turnkey cobot systems: the Cobot Welder (MIG welding with a Universal Robots UR8 Long and your choice of Miller, ESAB, or OTC power source), the Cobot Cutter (plasma cutting with Hypertherm Powermax SYNC series cutters), and the Cobot Painter (powder coat and liquid coatings with a FANUC CRX-10iA/L Paint, the world's only explosion-proof collaborative robot). All three are controlled through the Beacon platform from any smartphone, tablet, or browser, and ship ready-to-run.
Systems ship pre-mounted, pre-wired, and ready to run. Most shops go from delivery to first production in hours, not weeks or months. Beacon guides your team through the entire setup, and no integrator, engineering team, or facility modifications are required.
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.
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.
Every cobot includes free 24/7 in-app support, with most tickets answered in 2 minutes or less. It also includes an ironclad warranty (15 months on the UR arm, 6 years on the Hypertherm plasma power supply, 3 years on the welder). Beacon Care adds priority support, loaner equipment, discounted parts and repairs, and optional on-site training.
