FBR Mantis is a fixed-base robotic welding system for defense, mining, shipbuilding and heavy fabrication. Its stabilization technology supports an 8 m reach, pendulum workspaces and high-deposition multi-pass welding.
About
Mantis is FBR's fixed-base long-reach robot for automated welding in shipbuilding, mining, defence and other heavy fabrication. Dynamic Stabilisation Technology counteracts movement at the end effector across an eight-metre reach, while laser seam tracking and Verbotics programming support complex paths and multi-pass welds.
The workcell can alternate between one, two or four bays so parts are prepared while another bay is welded. Standard and tandem-wire configurations reach up to 25 kg/h deposition. FBR launched Mantis in July 2025, secured a conditional first order in January 2026 and lists deliveries from 2026.
