Industrial robot types and selection criteria
Industrial robots are classified by their mechanical architecture: 6-axis articulated robots (the most common configuration) — rotary joints at shoulder, elbow, and wrist provide a full 6 degrees of freedom enabling complex spatial motion paths; payload ranges from 3 kg (small-part handling) to 2,000 kg (heavy-duty foundry and press tending); reach ranges from 600mm to 4,200mm; used for welding (arc, spot, laser), assembly, painting, palletising, machine tending, and material handling; SCARA robots (Selective Compliant Assembly Robot Arm) — 4-axis design for fast planar (pick-and-place) operations; cycle times of 0.3–0.5 seconds for short-reach tasks; used for electronics assembly, screwdriving, label application, and packaging; delta robots (parallel-arm "spider" robots) — 3 or 4 parallel arms attached to upper mounting platform; extremely fast (up to 150 picks/minute); used for high-speed pick-and-place in food, pharmaceuticals, and consumer goods; collaborative robots (cobots) — designed to operate alongside humans without safety fencing under ISO/TS 15066; force/torque sensing enables immediate stop on contact; payload typically 3–20 kg; used for final assembly, inspection, machine tending, and flexible automation cells; and Cartesian gantry robots — 3-linear-axis systems with very high load capacity and long reach; used for CNC machine tending, press loading, and large workpiece transfer. Key specifications for robot selection: payload (kg), reach (mm, maximum working radius), accuracy (ISO 9283 pose repeatability, typically ±0.02–0.1mm), IP rating (IP65/67 for wash-down, clean-room versions for electronics/pharma), axis speed (°/s per axis), and robot controller (KUKA KRC5, Fanuc R-30iB, ABB IRC5, Yaskawa YRC1000).
ISO 10218, ISO/TS 15066, and robot safety standards
Industrial robot safety is governed by ISO 10218 (Safety requirements for industrial robots) — Parts 1 (Robot design and construction) and 2 (Robot system integration) — and ISO/TS 15066 (Collaborative robots). ISO 10218-1 covers the robot itself (manufacturer's responsibility): design requirements for emergency stop, axis limiting, speed monitoring, power and force limiting for cobots, and software-based speed and separation monitoring (SSM). ISO 10218-2 covers the robot cell integrator's responsibility: risk assessment for the complete robot cell, safeguarding design (barriers, light curtains, pressure-sensitive mats, area scanners), safety-rated PLC integration, and safety-rated software (EN ISO 13849 PLd or PLe depending on risk level). ISO/TS 15066 provides additional guidance specifically for collaborative robot applications — defining the allowed contact forces and pressures for human-robot contact (quasi-static contact and transient contact pressure limits) that must not be exceeded for safe cobot deployment. For EU deployment, robots require CE marking under the Machinery Directive with a risk assessment covering the complete robot cell (not just the robot itself). The robot manufacturer typically provides a partly completed machine (Declaration of Incorporation) — the system integrator must complete the safety assessment and issue the final Declaration of Conformity for the complete cell. ABB, KUKA, Fanuc, and Yaskawa all provide safety-rated functional software (SafeMove2, KUKA.SafeOperation, Fanuc DCS, YRC1000 FSU) that implements the ISO 10218 safety functions in certified robot controllers.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between an industrial robot and a cobot?
An industrial robot (ISO 10218-1) is designed for operation within a safeguarded space — separated from humans by physical barriers (fencing, light curtains, pressure mats). Industrial robots can operate at high speeds and forces that would injure humans on contact. A cobot (collaborative robot, ISO/TS 15066) is designed to work alongside humans in a shared workspace — equipped with force/torque sensing or power-and-force limiting (PFL) that immediately stops or limits robot motion on contact with a person. Cobots operate at lower speeds and with reduced payloads compared to equivalent industrial robots but eliminate fencing requirements for appropriate applications. Cobots are not universally safer than industrial robots — a cobot risk assessment (ISO/TS 15066) must verify that contact forces and pressures are within safe limits for the specific cobot application; some cobot applications with sharp tools or high payloads still require safeguarding.
What are the major industrial robot manufacturers and their specialisations?
The "Big Four" global industrial robot manufacturers: Fanuc (Japan) — the world's largest robot maker by installed base; known for reliability and the highest MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures) in the industry; strong in automotive spot welding, machine tending, and palletising; KUKA (Germany, now Chinese-owned by Midea Group) — strong in automotive arc welding, heavy-payload handling, and press automation; premium software (KUKA WorkVisual, KUKA.Sim); ABB Robotics (Switzerland/Sweden) — strong in painting, arc welding, assembly, and pick-and-place; FlexPicker delta robots are ABB-developed; Yaskawa (Japan) — Motoman brand; strong in arc welding, machine tending, and assembly; excellent drives and inverters. Universal Robots (Denmark, owned by Teradyne) — dominant in cobots with the UR3e, UR5e, UR10e, UR16e, UR20 range; largest installed cobot base globally. Chinese challengers: EFORT (Nanjing), SIASUN (Shenyang), Estun (Nanjing) are competitive in price for general industrial applications but have smaller service networks than global brands.
What is a typical price range for wholesale industrial robots?
Indicative wholesale price ranges (robot only, without integration, cell design, or peripheral equipment): Small 6-axis robot (6–10 kg payload, Chinese brand — EFORT or similar): USD 12,000–20,000. Small 6-axis robot (6–10 kg payload, Fanuc LR Mate 200iD, Yaskawa GP8): USD 25,000–45,000. Medium 6-axis robot (20 kg payload, Fanuc M-20iD, ABB IRB 2600, Yaskawa GP25): USD 35,000–65,000. Heavy-payload 6-axis (200 kg, Fanuc M-200iD, KUKA KR 210): USD 70,000–150,000. Cobot (UR5e, 5 kg payload): USD 35,000–50,000. SCARA robot (Epson, Fanuc SR series): USD 15,000–40,000. Note: complete robot cell cost including integration, tooling (gripper/welding torch), safety equipment, programming, and commissioning is typically 2–4× the robot hardware cost.
