What is the BeamMaster?
The BeamMaster is an advanced robotic welding system designed to automate structural steel fabrication with unparalleled efficiency. Simply send a pre-fit beam to the machine, and it completes the required welds in a fraction of the time compared to manual welding. Equipped with optional beam rotators, the process becomes fully autonomous, ensuring perfect horizontal positioning for every weld. Its award-winning CORTEX software allows for cost-effective robotic welding, even with lot sizes as small as one, breaking the traditional barriers of needing large volumes of identical parts to justify automation. BeamMaster revolutionizes productivity and precision in structural steel fabrication.
Eliminate Unnecessary Handling
The BeamMaster, equipped with CORTEX auto-programming and beam rotators, eliminates unnecessary handling during the welding process. Simply position the beam, and the system takes over, autonomously rotating and welding with precision. This automation minimizes manual intervention, streamlining the workflow and significantly reducing labor time. With BeamMaster, you can focus on productivity while the machine handles the rest, ensuring consistent, high-quality welds with minimal handling.
