Regarding the pricing of industrial robots. The cost of a bare robot can vary significantly, typically ranging from £20,000 to £40,000 GBP or approximately $25,000 to $55,000 USD. The wide variation in price is due to the availability of numerous models, each offering different features and options such as I/O cards and software.
Generally, smaller robots with lower payload and reach capabilities tend to be less expensive, while larger robots are priced higher. If you are considering purchasing multiple machines or an entire automotive line consisting of 200 robots, you can expect to receive a more favorable price.
It is important to note that the cost mentioned above does not include additional expenses such as tooling, grippers, guarding, safety equipment, and installation. These additional components often amount to the price of the robot itself. Additionally, you should consider the costs associated with programming, training, servicing, and ongoing support.
In most cases, the total installed cost of an industrial robot exceeds £50,000 ($66,000) and often surpasses £100,000.
On the other hand, collaborative robots, which are designed to work alongside humans, are generally priced similarly to traditional robots. However, the installation costs for collaborative robots tend to be slightly lower as they are easier to set up. These robots offer greater flexibility and adaptability, making them an ideal choice for many manufacturers.
Lastly, I would like to mention the availability of low-cost robots, such as the ones I currently offer. These robots are priced under £5,000 ($6,000). Although they may not be as fast or complex as renowned brands like ABB or Kuka, they are capable of performing many of the same tasks at a fraction of the cost.
