Dollars and Sense

With our “try before you commit” rental and lease options, the BotX can increase profitability by eliminating your capital costs while maximizing your welding productivity, unlike traditional purchase-only acquisition models.

Taking Care of Bidness

Since the BotX enables you to scale up your weld production capacity on-demand, you can bid on jobs that were previously beyond your reach. The ability to quickly scale-up your production capacity can help you compete for larger projects, with confidence that you can deliver on time.

Cloud Connected

Cloud connectivity offers you continuous real-time monitoring, 24/7 support, welding and production data, as well as instant automatic access to software enhancements and new welding parameter libraries.

Welding Parameters Library

A welding library developed specifically for the BotX recommends welding parameters based on your process and pairs well with the ARCAL(TM) shielding gas product line. The Beacon app allows you to access your production and quality data in real-time.

Up and Running in Hours, Not Days

Installation and training are performed by Red-D-Arc Weld Automation Specialists and takes hours, not days. We’ll be with you every step of the way and help you address the challenges of your specific application.

What Customers Are Saying...

"The programming is exceptionally easy, adaptable, and fast compared to the other robots we have and have reviewed."

"The new robotic welder is performing beautifully. The welds are very clean, penetration is excellent and performance has greatly improved."

"The equipment is easy to use and handled all of our current wires and feeds with no problems."

"There was a 40% improvement for first time quality, better weld seal, and leak tester improvement."

“We were creating production parts within half a day.”

“It didn’t take very long to realize how simple it was. It just worked.”

"With labor shortages the way they are, we can't find people, we're relying on the BotX ."

More Customer Quotes

"The fallout rate has dropped dramatically and has reduced the amount of rework required significantly."

"There was a 35% reduction in rework for incomplete welds, excess spatter, and spatter in the gasket area, this is beyond the leak test improvement."

"There was a 15% reduction in scrap for burn through and meltback."

“The simplicity of the program is a huge benefit compared to the training and programming required by other systems”

"This cuts the amount of training required as well as time needed to adjust weld paths or types."

"The amount of floor space needed is also a huge improvement and the reduction in safety mats, lights and caging is definitely a cost save."

"The only problem we have is that we need one for aluminum!"

"Great find and we couldn’t be happier."

“It didn’t even need a traditional ROI assessment… Within a month, we already bought the machine.”

"It's extremely easy to use, cost efficient, and there's no capital dollars out of our pocket. We can go spend our capital on other stuff and not worry about whether or not we can weld these parts."

"As a seasoned welder, I've never seen better."

“Even if there were other companies out there that did rent robots, I would have still chosen you guys due to the ease of the software.”

“The price was feasible. I didn't see any other companies out there that could offer a rental to see if this would even work.”

“Traditional robot repairs cause 3 or 4 days of downtime. We don't have that with the BotX ”

Frequently Asked Questions

How will the BotX help me solve my labor shortfall?

BotX is designed to leverage your existing welders. Instead of continuing to search for additional skilled welders that are increasingly difficult to find, the BotX can be taught to weld routine parts by your existing workforce. This frees up your existing workforce to focus on higher value tasks such as more complex welds or supervising several BotX! The included library of welding recipes will assist in getting each application to a good starting point. Once your existing skilled welders have fine-tuned the welding parameters to achieve your engineered specifications and taught BotX its task, any operator can perform highly accurate, consistent welds.

What can I expect in terms of productivity improvements with the BotX?

Your overall output can depend on many factors, however, when compared to manual welding, most BotX customers see a 2-3X increase in productivity due to BotX working at a consistent pace, faster travel speeds and reduced time spent grinding or reworking parts due to the consistent weld quality. In addition, one of the biggest productivity improvements you should expect is that your skilled welders can do what they do best, and a non-welder operator can tend to the BotX. Creating two welding zones such that BotX can be welding in one zone while the operator is unloading and loading parts in the second will significantly increase the productivity of the system. If your parts are small enough a divider can be placed on the 4’ x 4’ table to create two 4’ x 2’ zones. If needed, a second 4’ x 4’ table can be attached to the primary table, with a safety screen in between, to double the work area.

Will the BotX weld my parts?

BotX will MIG weld mild or stainless steel (aluminum capabilities coming soon!) that will fit on the included 4’ x 4’ table. How thick of material and how large of a work piece? There are several variables involved in answering those questions. Supply us with drawings and photos of the parts you intend to weld, and one of our welding specialists will help you determine if the BotX is the right solution for you.

What support can I expect?

Red-D-Arc weld automation specialists will install BotX and train your staff on its use. Ongoing support is available 24/7 through the Beacon app, with 95% of inquiries solved in minutes. Onsite support is available if your issue cannot be resolved virtually.
