Weez-U Welding
Your Welding tools
Bringing manual welding into the 21st century
By offering welders a driven collaborative arm, our goal is to eliminate the risky, hard and repetitive aspects of their work. Welders benefit from improved comfort, produce superior quality welds and increase their productivity. At a time when many companies face recruitment challenges, our solution makes the profession more attractive.
Our history
Inventions were created in a garage or at school ; WeezBot was born during a break at the coffee machine between Benoit Tavernier and Yves Guillermit. They share their observation of the advantages and disadvantages of traditional robotics, which is very effective in repeating identical operations, but often struggles when the parts to be welded present dimensional variabilities. After reflection and discussions, the two engineers embarked on the adventure with one idea in mind: creating a driven welding cobot. The name Weez-U Welding (“with you” and “weld” in English) is created with the aim of showing our close support to welders in their daily work.
Drawing on their experience and skills in the industry, the two founders work with field welders to create a solution that best meets their needs. The team is growing; several partnerships are established, notably with CETIM. The first WeezBot driven welding cobot is put into service and immediately demonstrates its flexibility, attractiveness and performance. In addition to the ten examples currently in production with our customers, our presence at 14 trade fairs in recent years allows us to raise awareness of this technology, which is of increasing interest to welding manufacturers.
The team now has 12 people, ensuring the maintenance of the cobots in service and the continuation of the technical developments requested by our customers. The company is well established in the French industrial fabric.
