Submit your installed robot or a difficult production part for a complimentary engineering review. Selected projects receive one robotic welding proof test with a documented next-step recommendation.
“Across customer sites in the United States, Bruce kept seeing industrial robots already on the floor—but no clear process, fixture, programming path, or welding plan to put them into production.”
This program starts with the installed asset or the real part, then works backward to a practical automation route.
You do not need a finished specification. Send what you know, show what is blocking production, and let the application decide the next technical question.
Best for factories with an ABB, FANUC, KUKA, Yaskawa, Efort, ROKAE, cobot, or another industrial arm that needs a viable welding application.
Best for manufacturers evaluating a difficult seam, labor bottleneck, distortion problem, inconsistent quality, or a new automated line.
Selected applicants receive a written test scope before anything is shipped. This protects both the customer’s part and the engineering team’s time.
Share robot data or part files, current process, production target, and the problem you need to solve.
Engineering checks feasibility and commercial fit. Missing details are requested before selection.
If selected, both sides confirm the exact proof scope, confidentiality choice, sample count, and shipping plan in writing.
SkyFire tests the agreed route, records the result, and maps the practical next step for service or automation.
Specific evidence: drawings, joint photos, robot nameplate, cell video, or rejected weld photos.
Measurable target: cycle time, daily volume, leak rate, strength, appearance, or distortion limit.
Real project timing: a defined production need within the next 12 months.
Decision access: an engineer, owner, integrator, or plant contact who can answer follow-up questions.
Required fields keep the first review useful. Technical files stay with the SkyFire review team; your public-case preference does not affect basic confidentiality handling.
Pilot intake opened in August 2026. Availability and scope may change as engineering capacity is allocated.
SkyFire may accept, defer, or decline any application. Selection considers technical feasibility, production relevance, available equipment, engineering capacity, safety, and commercial fit. A free review or test does not obligate either party to purchase or sell equipment or services.
Do not send a sample without written approval. The applicant must disclose coatings, residues, batteries, pressure, hazardous substances, controlled materials, and any handling risk. The applicant is responsible for freight, customs, duties, taxes, insurance, and return arrangements unless a written scope states otherwise.
A proof test is an application study, not a certified production qualification or performance guarantee. Results depend on the received samples, fit-up, material condition, fixture, equipment, inspection method, and the agreed test window. Production validation requires a separate approved scope.
The applicant confirms they are authorized to share submitted files and samples. SkyFire uses them to evaluate the application and provide follow-up. Identifiable public case content requires separate approval. If a formal NDA is required, request it before sharing restricted information.
