Collaborative Robots for Machine Tending, Assembly and Packing
Cobots from Universal Robots, FANUC and Yaskawa, from 3 kg to 30 kg payload, supplied and integrated as working cells: gripper, vision, safety and PLC interface included. Our engineers help you size the arm and the risk assessment before you buy.
A cobot chosen on the arm's payload alone often fails on site: the gripper eats the payload margin, the reach misses the far pick point, or the risk assessment shows the task needs guarding after all.
Types of collaborative robots
Universal Robots e-Series
Six-axis arms from 3 kg to 16 kg payload and 500 mm to 1300 mm reach, programmed from a tablet-style teach pendant or by hand-guiding. The common choice for CNC tending, screwdriving and inspection.

What to specify
| Parameter | What to check |
|---|---|
| Payload | Add the gripper, any tool changer and the heaviest part, then keep a margin. If the total is above about 30 kg, look at an industrial robot instead. |
| Reach | Measure to the farthest pick and place point, including the gripper length and any approach move into a machine or carton. |
| Risk assessment | Fence-free operation depends on a risk assessment to ISO 10218 and ISO/TS 15066 covering the gripper, the part and the process, not just the arm. Sharp edges, hot parts or welding may still need guarding or scanners. |
| Cycle time | A cobot slows down when a person enters the shared space. If the task must run at full speed every cycle, compare it against a guarded industrial robot. |
| Environment | Washdown, food contact or coating work call for the matching variant, such as the CRX Food Grade or Paint models. |
| Interfaces | List the machine signals, PLC, vision and gripper the cobot must work with, so the cell is engineered as one system. |

Common questions
Does a cobot need a safety fence?
Not always. Cobots use power and force limiting, and with a risk assessment to ISO 10218 and ISO/TS 15066 many tasks run without a full fence. The assessment must include the gripper, the part and the process: a sharp or hot part, or a welding torch, can still require guarding or safety scanners.
What payload cobot do I need?
Add the weight of the gripper and the heaviest part, and keep a margin for the part's offset from the tool flange. For example, a 6 kg part on a 3 kg gripper already needs a 10 kg class arm such as the UR10e or CRX-10iA rather than a 7 kg one.
Should I choose a cobot or an industrial robot?
Choose a cobot when an operator shares the workspace, floor space is tight or the product mix changes often. Choose an industrial robot in a guarded cell for loads above about 30 kg including the gripper, short cycle times or one part running at volume for years. Our guide on cobots versus industrial robots covers this in detail.
Universal Robots, FANUC CRX or Yaskawa HC: which one?
All three cover similar payload ranges. The choice usually comes down to reach, environment (Food Grade or Paint variants), and which robot brand your plant already maintains and programs. Share the task and we will recommend a model.
Do you supply only the arm or the complete cell?
Both. Along with the arm we engineer the gripper, vision, safety devices and PLC integration, and take the cell through build, programming, trials, installation and operator training.
