Walk into any CNC shop and you’ll feel the same pulse: spindles humming, tool changers snapping into motion, operators hustling from machine to machine to keep production flowing. It’s impressive—until the cycle ends and a machine sits idle because the operator is tied up somewhere else. One shop owner told us recently, “My biggest waste isn’t scrap… it’s downtime.” This is exactly where cobots are stepping in and changing the game. When CNC Operators and Cobots Work Side-by-

If you’ve ever walked through a busy metal fabrication shop on a Monday morning, you know the rhythm—grinders humming, welders sparking, everyone moving fast because deadlines don’t care that Friday’s shift ran late. A few months ago, I visited a metal shop where a senior welder, Mark, was mentoring a new apprentice through a run of thick structural brackets. Classic Monday. The kind where you’re chasing precision, speed, and consistency all at once. Mark laughed as he wiped

In many fabrication shops, the story is the same: tight deadlines, skilled welders stretched thin, and production managers wishing they could clone their best people. And honestly… who hasn’t dreamed of that at least once? A few months ago, one of our manufacturing clients shared a moment that perfectly captures why cobot welding is no longer a “nice-to-have”—it’s becoming a competitive advantage. Their team had just wrapped a long shift. Welders were packing up, lights dimmi

In a small fabrication shop on the outskirts of Montreal, the hum of machines never really stops. For years, that hum was the soundtrack of craftsmanship — of skilled welders shaping steel with precision and pride. But over time, the rhythm began to fade. Skilled welders retired, new hires were hard to find, and projects kept piling up. Then came the turning point: the first collaborative welding robot — a cobot — rolled onto the shop floor. At first, the team was skeptical.

In metal manufacturing, precision isn’t just a goal — it’s the foundation of every product that leaves the shop floor. But as demand grows and skilled welders become harder to find, maintaining consistent quality and delivery times has become a real challenge for many manufacturers. That’s where Montreal Robot’s cobot welding solution is changing the game. One of our clients, a mid-sized metal fabrication shop in Quebec, faced the same struggle. Their welders were spending lo

Every great weld begins with a spark — and at Montreal Robot, that spark is more than just metal meeting metal. It’s the moment innovation meets opportunity. Across Canada, small and medium-sized manufacturers are the true builders of progress — crafting, fabricating, and shaping the products that power our economy. But too often, they face challenges that limit their growth: skilled labor shortages, inconsistent output, and tight production timelines. That’s where Montreal R
