Do you finance a full robotic welding cell as one deal?

Yes. Turnkey cell — robot, positioner, power source, fixturing, safety, controls — financed as one line item, one payment. Whether it's a Miller PerformArc, Lincoln Cell, or a Fanuc integrator build, the whole system funds together.

Which robots and power sources do you finance?

Robots: Fanuc ArcMate 100iD and 120iD, ABB IRB 1520/1600/2600, Yaskawa Motoman MA series, Panasonic TAWERS. Power sources: Miller Auto-Continuum and Auto-Axcess, Lincoln Power Wave R450 and R500, ESAB, Fronius. Brand-agnostic through any real integrator.

How much down on a welding cell?

700+ credit, established shop: around 10% down. 620-700: around 20%. Below 620: 25-35% down. Cell packages that run above $250K usually shift to full financials rather than app-only.

Can a startup fab shop finance a robotic cell?

Harder than a manual weld package, but doable on the right file — experienced welder-operator, LLC formed, a specific integrator quote, and real production work already lined up. Lenders want to see that the cell has parts to weld before it goes on the floor.

Used robotic welding cells — fundable?

Yes, through a legitimate integrator or dealer with an invoice. Fanuc and ABB robots are long-life assets — 15-year-old arms retrained and re-power-sourced still weld production. We evaluate case-by-case.

Robotic welding cell financing — Miller, Lincoln, Fanuc, ABB, Motoman.

Who we fund

Production fabricators

Repeat-part welding — brackets, frames, tanks, trailers. Miller PerformArc or Lincoln Cell package with a Fanuc or Motoman arm.

Job shops moving off manual welding

Long-run job with skilled-labor shortage forcing automation. First-piece robotic cell — usually starts with one two-station positioner cell.

Trailer, tank, and heavy-fab shops

Structural welding, large weldments, heavy plate. ABB IRB 2600 or Fanuc 120iD on a track or gantry.

Contract manufacturers scaling up

Second and third cell. Fleet automation. Full-financials package on multi-cell buildouts.

Aluminum welding specialists

Fronius or Miller pulse-MIG paired with a Fanuc or ABB arm. Marine, transportation, and aerospace aluminum weldments.

Cobot-scale entry cells

Universal Robots, ABB GoFa cobot cells with Miller Copilot or Lincoln Cooper. Smaller footprint, lower price point.

How much down?

700+ credit: around 10% down.
620-700: around 20% down.
Below 620: 25-35% down.
