Introduction to Welding Cobots

Experience first-hand the future of collaborative welding robots. Using a Hirebotics Cobot Welder and the Beacon app, attendees learn how to set up a cell, hand-guide the torch with the Smart Puck, and teach linear, radial, tack, and stitch welds from a phone or tablet—without a traditional teach pendant or robot code. Designed for welding and advanced manufacturing instructors, the course emphasizes getting from a new part to a repeatable weld quickly so attendees can bring this exciting technology to their own training programs.
