Along with its Blaze and Blaze Max robots configured with the brand new Miller OptX laser welder, Productive Robotics unveiled its new 7-axis Blaze plasma slicing system. Not like typical 6-axis robots, the 7-axis collaborative robotic reaches round massive, complicated components and fixtures to carry out cuts from a number of angles in a single setup.
SANTA BARBARA, California (October 1, 2025) Productive Robotics LLC launched new know-how to a file variety of guests at Fabtech in September. Along with its Blaze and Blaze Max robots configured with the brand new Miller OptX laser welder, Productive Robotics unveiled its new 7-axis Blaze plasma slicing system. Not like typical 6-axis robots, the 7-axis collaborative robotic reaches round massive, complicated components and fixtures to carry out cuts from a number of angles in a single setup.
“There are industrial 7-axis robots however we’re at the moment the one U.S. firm to supply 7-axis collaborative robots,” says Zac Bogart, president of Productive Robotics LLC. “Our arms have seven levels of freedom from the shoulder to the hand. A welder is used to having the ability to manipulate the torch the place wanted. The OB7’s further “wrist joint” not solely repeatedly re-orients the robotic arm whereas it strikes the torch alongside the welding path, it additionally works repeatedly, and might remove the necessity for extra setups.”
The corporate designs and manufactures industrial collaborative robots, robotic welding programs and equipment for a variety of functions. Its OB7 and Blaze collection fashions are constructed on Productive Robotics’ proprietary, “no programming” person interface which permits producers to show a collaborative robotic by merely displaying it a job’s steps. “The elimination of person programming and the event of our 7-axis programs are the core applied sciences our firm was shaped round,” Bogart says.
Productive Robotics makes use of suggestions from fabricators and job outlets to engineer options just like the Blaze laser with Miller OptX which performs high-speed, high-quality welds with minimal warmth

enter and superior repeatability. Capable of enhance productiveness as much as 500 p.c, the plug-and-play machines are person pleasant. For corporations new to laser welding, complicated security necessities could be difficult. Productive Robotics’ self-contained laser cell offers welding with out the necessity for a laser protected room or private protecting gear.
“We additionally added an eighth axis with full synchronized movement to our Blaze welding robotic system as a result of our clients had components they could not weld with out rotating them,” says Bogart. “They stated that they had checked out different positioners however discovered they did not combine with their robotic and had been too tough to program. We additionally elevated the pace of Blaze to satisfy or exceed that of commercial welding robots. We’re consistently evolving our know-how whereas preserving it easy for patrons to make use of. That is the mixture that’s serving to clients keep aggressive.”
