Hirebotics

What solutions does Hirebotics offer?

Hirebotics offers three turnkey cobot systems—the Cobot Welder (MIG welding with a Universal Robots UR8 Long and Miller power source), the Cobot Cutter (plasma cutting with a Universal Robots UR8 Long and Hypertherm Powermax85 SYNC), and the Cobot Painter (powder coat and liquid paint with a FANUC CRX-10iA/L Paint, the world's only explosion-proof collaborative robot). All three are controlled through the Beacon platform—our cloud-based app for programming, monitoring, and managing cobots from any smartphone, tablet, or desktop browser. Systems ship ready-to-run and deploy in hours, not months

Who are Hirebotics cobots for?

Hirebotics cobots are built for fabrication shops, job shops, contract manufacturers, and OEMs that need to increase welding, cutting, or painting throughput without hiring robotics engineers or specialized programmers. Over 600 fabrication shops use Hirebotics cobots across industries including metal fabrication, construction, shipbuilding, aerospace, defense, data centers, HVAC, agriculture, and more. If you're struggling with the skilled labor shortage, dealing with inconsistent manual quality, or turning down work because you can't keep up with demand—Hirebotics cobots fill the gap.

What's included in a Hirebotics cobot system and what about warranties?

Every Hirebotics system ships ready-to-run with the collaborative robot arm, application equipment (welder, plasma system, or paint system), mobile workstation, operator panel with emergency stop, Smart Puck for tap-to-teach programming, Beacon standard software, and a consumables starter kit. The Cobot Welder Core Package starts at $105,000. Systems include a 2-year warranty on the cobot arm and a 3-year warranty on application equipment. For continued coverage, the BeaconCare plan ($5,000/year) provides priority support with 2-minute average response times, loaner equipment during repairs, d

How easy is Hirebotics setup and onboarding?

Hirebotics cobots are 10X faster to deploy than traditional automation. A demo takes about 30 minutes—you'll see firsthand how the Beacon platform works and talk with a robotics specialist about your application. 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 including URCap installation, network connection, and robot registration. You can also have a Hirebotics Certified Weld Supervisor support your installation. No integrator, no engineering team, no facilit

What is Beacon?

Beacon is Hirebotics' proprietary cloud-based software platform that controls the Cobot Welder, Cobot Cutter, and Cobot Painter from any smartphone, tablet, or desktop browser. It provides tap-to-teach job programming via the Smart Puck, real-time production monitoring (cycle times, arc-on time, cut time, spray time, parts produced, gas consumption), and in-app support with 2-minute average response times. Beacon Pro adds AI-powered weld recommendations with instant good-better-best settings, Fine Tune Points for adjusting torch angles from the app, Enhanced Stitch for heat-managed stitch weld

What support does Hirebotics provide?

Every Hirebotics cobot includes free 24/7 support built directly into the Beacon app. On average, the Hirebotics support team responds in 2 minutes—real specialists who understand welding, cutting, and painting inside and out. Support is also available via chat, email, and phone, with remote diagnostics and automatic file backups to resolve issues quickly. The optional BeaconCare plan ($5,000/year) adds priority on-site service, loaner equipment during repairs so your production doesn't stop, discounted replacement parts, and optional on-site training.

What is Hirebotics?

Hirebotics builds turnkey collaborative robot (cobot) systems for metal fabrication. We offer three products—the Cobot Welder, Cobot Cutter, and Cobot Painter—all controlled through our cloud-based Beacon platform. Over 600 fabrication shops across the United States use Hirebotics to increase their welding, cutting, and painting throughput. Our systems are designed to be operated by fabricators, not robotics engineers.

What is the Hirebotics Cobot Welder?

The Hirebotics Cobot Welder is a turnkey MIG welding automation system. It uses a Universal Robots UR8 Long collaborative robot (68.9-inch reach) with a Miller Auto Deltaweld 350 power source (upgradeable to the OTC P 400-L or Miller Deltaweld 500). Your team programs welds through the Beacon app using tap-to-teach with the Smart Puck—save weld points as linear, stitch, multipass, radial, and more. It delivers consistent, repeatable welds that reduce rework from 25% to nearly zero and increase throughput 2–10X.
