nexAir Demo Days: Experience the Future of Welding Automation with Live Demonstrations

Three months ago, Jake thought welding robots were for car factories. Today he’s running one in his 12-person fab shop, cranking out brackets in half the time with zero rework. The change happened after spending two hours at a Demo Day, watching machines do things he’d never imagined possible in a smaller operation.

What You Actually Get to Do There

These aren’t sales presentations where you sit and listen. You get to see the equipment running live demonstrations and ask questions about what you’re watching. The machines work through various welding applications while experts explain the capabilities and features. You can observe the quality and consistency that automation delivers compared to manual welding.

Different stations showcase different capabilities. Over here, a system welds thin aluminum without warping. Over there, another tackles thick steel joints that usually require multiple passes. Each demonstration runs continuously, so you can observe long-term performance rather than staged perfection.

The technical reps running each station know their equipment inside out. They’ll show you maintenance routines, explain programming shortcuts, and demonstrate troubleshooting procedures. More importantly, they answer the practical questions that specification sheets never address.

Learning What Works in Real Shops

Stories matter more than statistics at these events. You’ll hear about the cabinet manufacturer who eliminated overtime by automating his repetitive door frame welds. The structural shop that started landing bridge contracts because their automated systems could meet tight tolerance requirements consistently.

Each success story includes honest details about implementation challenges. How long training took, what facility modifications were needed, which applications worked immediately versus those that required adjustments. This realistic perspective helps you plan properly rather than expecting magic solutions.

Equipment specialists discuss production volume requirements openly. Some automation makes sense for job shops running 50 pieces, while other systems need 500-piece runs to justify the setup time. These system-level insights often prove more valuable than equipment specifications.

Hands-On Programming That Builds Confidence

Most people expect welding automation programming to require engineering degrees. The reality surprises them. Modern systems use touchscreen interfaces similar to smartphones, with visual programming that shows torch paths graphically rather than requiring code writing.

You can program a simple welding sequence in under ten minutes with basic instruction. The system teaches you through prompts and visual feedback, building complexity gradually as your understanding grows. This accessibility factor often determines adoption success more than raw welding capability.

nexAir’s KnowHow™ extends beyond equipment demonstrations to include workforce development strategies that support successful automation adoption. We understand that technology changes succeed when people embrace them confidently.

Planning Your Implementation Strategy

Successful automation starts with selecting the right applications rather than trying to automate everything immediately. Demo Days help you identify which of your current welding tasks offer the best automation opportunities based on volume, complexity, and quality requirements.

We can help you Forge Forward with automation strategies that build on your existing strengths while addressing current limitations. Demo Days provide the foundation for making informed decisions rather than hoping for the best.

See Automation in Action

Demo Days eliminate the uncertainty from welding automation decisions by showing you exactly what these systems can accomplish in realistic operating conditions. The combination of hands-on experience, expert guidance, and comparative evaluation provides insights that no amount of research can deliver.
