Weez-U Welding provides lightweight collaborative robots for welding (WeezBot, WeezLight) and cutting (WeezCut) that combine a six‑axis arm, an ergonomic handheld controller, and an integrated vision system. The cobots are mobile, barrier‑free and can be programmed by operators in minutes, enabling flexible, low‑volume or on‑site metal fabrication. Flexible service options include short‑term rental, on‑site trials, and turnkey purchase.

Problem
Manufacturers and construction firms often need to perform welding and cutting on unique or small‑batch parts, but traditional robotic cells are large, costly, require safety barriers, and demand specialized programming expertise. This limits flexibility, slows setup, and makes it difficult to adapt to variable geometries or on‑site work.
Solution
Weez‑U Welding offers collaborative robots (cobots) for welding (WeezBot, WeezLight) and cutting (WeezCut) that combine a lightweight collaborative arm, an ergonomic WeezTouch controller, and an integrated vision system. The robots are mobile, can be deployed without safety cages, and are compatible with existing welding and cutting equipment. Operators can program trajectories in minutes using a catalog of common geometries or by “teaching” points directly on the workpiece, with real‑time process adjustments via the handheld controller. Vision cameras provide live monitoring and recordable video for traceability and training. The solution is delivered as a turnkey package with flexible options such as short‑term rental, on‑site trial, or full purchase with maintenance contracts, enabling rapid adoption in variable‑production environments and on construction sites.
Target Audience
Primary customers are manufacturers of custom or low‑volume metal parts, construction and infrastructure firms, shipyards, and energy plant contractors that require flexible, safe welding or cutting solutions on the shop floor or on site.
Features
- Collaborative robot arm (Fanuc CRX series) with six axes, lightweight design (8 kg for WeezLight) and up to 4 kg payload, allowing hand‑carried deployment
- WeezTouch handheld controller designed for welders, offering point‑and‑click programming, real‑time trajectory editing, and emergency‑stop safety functions
- Integrated compact vision system delivering live weld pool/cut monitoring, image processing for pre‑, during‑, and post‑operation inspection, with video capture for traceability
- Mobile support structures (floor‑mounted, wall‑ or ceiling‑mounted) enabling barrier‑free operation and rapid repositioning in workshops or field sites
- Compatibility with a wide range of existing welding generators, plasma, and oxy‑cut equipment, supporting both unit‑piece and small‑series production
- Pre‑defined trajectory catalog (straight lines, circles, horse‑shoe cuts, etc.) that can be generated in under a minute from two reference points
- Flexible service models: on‑site demonstration, short‑term rental (2‑6 months), five‑year lease with maintenance, or outright purchase
