Robotic arm solutions

Robotic arms across six manufacturing verticals. Each section lists the most-deployed models, typical payload range, and integration notes.

  • Robotic arms for automotive assembly

    Six-axis arms dominate automotive body-in-white, spot welding, and final assembly. Payloads cluster between 20 and 165 kg with reaches from 1,750 to 3,200 mm. Cell layouts typically combine 4 to 8 arms with a central PLC and an MES feed for traceability.

    Typical payload
    20–165 kg
    Common models
    RX-50H-2700RX-20A-1750

    Spot-welding tips, MIG/MAG torches, and servo-driven nutrunners are the most common end-of-arm tools. Hollow wrist routing is preferred to keep cable management clean.

  • Robotic arms for electronics assembly

    SCARA robots and small cobots handle PCB pick-and-place, screw-driving, dispensing, and inspection. Cycle time matters more than reach. ESD-safe end-effectors and IP-rated wrists are standard requirements for clean-room cells.

    Typical payload
    1–10 kg
    Common models
    SX-3-450SX-6-650CO-5-900

    Cycle times of 0.32 to 0.55 s drive throughput. Pair with line-scan vision for AOI and 3D for component placement.

  • Robotic arms for packaging and palletizing

    End-of-line palletizing, case packing, and depalletizing are the highest-volume robot duty in FMCG. Four-axis palletizing robots and high-payload cobots both find use, depending on case mass and throughput.

    Typical payload
    30–180 kg
    Common models
    PL-130-3100PL-180-3300CO-15-1600

    Vacuum-pad and clamp end-effectors are most common. Throughput targets of 800 to 1,200 picks per hour are reachable with PL-Series controllers and pre-planned pallet patterns.

  • Robotic arms for metal fabrication

    Arc welding, plasma cutting, deburring, and machine tending across CNC and press cells. IP67 wrists handle the splash, smoke, and chips that wreck lesser arms within 12 months.

    Typical payload
    10–50 kg
    Common models
    RX-20A-1750RX-6A-1850

    Synchronized positioners and rotary tables are common second axes. Wire-feeder integration via DeviceNet or EtherNet/IP is standard.

  • Robotic arms for logistics and warehousing

    Mixed-case palletizing, depalletizing, and induction onto sortation systems. Cobots and four-axis palletizers cover the slower-moving SKUs that defy fixed automation.

    Typical payload
    5–180 kg
    Common models
    PL-130-3100CO-10-1300CO-15-1600

    3D vision and dimensional scanning at the infeed are required. Suction-array end-effectors handle the SKU variety better than mechanical grippers.

  • Robotic arms for lab automation

    Pipetting, microplate handling, and sample transfer between instruments. Cobots dominate due to space constraints and operator proximity.

    Typical payload
    3–10 kg
    Common models
    CO-5-900CO-10-1300SX-3-450

    Tip mass and accuracy at low payload matter most. ISO 14644 clean-room rating is a frequent requirement.
