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.

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."

Technical Expertise: Hypertherm and Universal Robots Representatives

  • Why plasma + cobots beat traditional cutting methods

Innovation Leadership: Matt Bush, Hirebotics Co-founder

  • Beacon software insights and the future of accessible automation
  • Built Beacon software specifically for welders (no programming required)
  • Understands high-mix fab shop challenges

Automation That Fits Fab Shops
