In today’s rapidly evolving manufacturing landscape, efficiency, consistency and adaptability are essential. Red-D-Arc, a leader in welding equipment solutions, is stepping up to meet these demands by expanding its line of advanced cobot systems. This expansion not only introduces an addition to the BotX line of cobots, but also offers unprecedented flexibility to acquire Lincoln Electric’s Cooper cobots with rental, lease and purchase options.
For years, manufacturers have faced the challenge of skilled labor shortages and the need to optimize production without massive capital investments. Collaborative robots (cobots) have emerged as a powerful solution, bridging the gap between manual labor and traditional, caged industrial automation. Red-D-Arc’s enhanced cobot offerings are designed to make this cutting-edge technology more accessible than ever before.
Unleash Precision and Versatility with the New BotX Plasma Cutter
A standout addition to Red-D-Arc’s cobot lineup is the new BotX plasma cutter. Building on the success of the popular BotX cobot welding system, this innovative cobot brings automated precision to plasma cutting applications. Imagine consistently clean, accurate cuts with minimal human intervention, freeing up skilled operators for more complex tasks. The BotX plasma cutter is engineered for efficiency, reducing material waste and ensuring repeatable quality, a critical factor in high-volume production.
Ideal for performing a wide-range of applications, including dome cutting, 2D or 3D shape cutting, pipe coping and structural beam cutting, the BotX plasma cutter delivers superior performance, making it an invaluable asset for fabrication shops and manufacturing facilities alike. Additionally, it can be configured on a mobile cart for maximum flexibility, on a 4’ x 4’ downdraft table or with a magnetic base for applications that require the cobot to be positioned away from the cart like those on vertical surfaces.
Cooper Welding Cobots: Now Available from Red-D-Arc
Known for its user-friendly interface and robust performance, Lincoln Electric Cooper cobots have been a popular choice for manufacturers seeking a welding cobot solution. Recognizing that every business has unique financial and operational needs, Red-D-Arc has now extended its flexible acquisition model to the Cooper line, providing customers with rental, lease and purchase options for the system. This means businesses can now acquire the Cooper in a way that best suits their budget and long-term strategy, without the burden of a significant upfront capital expenditure.
BotX XSR Continues to Shine with Enhanced Features
In addition to the expanded offering, the second generation product of the Red-D-Arc flagship cobot welding line—the BotX XSR—continues to be a game-changer for welding operations. Delivering consistent, high-quality welds with ease, the BotX XSR system has been upgraded with enhanced multipass and hardfacing capabilities, making it easier to achieve consistent, high-quality welds on thicker materials and more complex joints.
The BotX XSR cobot can also now be mounted to a magnetic base, making it a unique solution when increased flexibility and mobility is required. The magnetic base is suitable for both welding and cutting applications, so it’s also a configuration option for the BotX plasma cutter.
“Try Before You Commit”: A Risk-Free Path to Cobot Automation
Manufacturers no longer have to be hesitant to add one of these exciting products to their shop. The new “Try Before You Commit” rental program— valid on all cobots offered by Red-D-Arc— is designed to allow businesses the opportunity to give cobots a test run without making a long-term commitment or upfront capital purchase. Here’s how it works:
- Start with a short-term rental: Experience the benefits of a cobot in your actual production environment with a low-risk, short-term rental. This allows you to evaluate its performance, integrate it into your workflow and assess its impact on your productivity.
- Get credit towards future acquisition: If you decide that the cobot is the right fit for your operation, and you convert your rental to a lease or purchase within the first two months, Red-D-Arc will credit 50% of your rental cost towards the new agreement.
The “Try Before You Commit” program eliminates the financial guesswork and allows business owners to confidently explore the advantages of cobot automation. It underscores Red-D-Arc’s confidence in their systems and their commitment to helping customers make more informed, strategic decisions.
The Future of Manufacturing, Made Accessible
The expansion of Red-D-Arc’s cobot offerings, coupled with the introduction of the BotX plasma cutter and the flexibility to rent, lease or purchase Cooper cobots, marks a significant step forward for the manufacturing industry. By providing cutting-edge technology with unparalleled accessibility backed by fast virtual support from welding specialists, Red-D-Arc is empowering businesses of all sizes to enhance productivity, improve quality and navigate the challenges of everchanging business needs.
