FAIRINO FR20 vs. KUKA LBR iisy 15 R930 Overview The FAIRINO FR20 and KUKA LBR iisy 15 R930 are six-axis collaborative robots designed for industrial automation, but they occupy different positions within the medium-to-heavy cobot market. The FAIRINO FR20 is a long-reach, high-payload collaborative robot intended for palletizing, large-machine tending, material handling, packaging and other applications where the robot must move relatively heavy products across a large work en

The FAIRINO FR3 and Rainbow Robotics RB3-730 are compact six-axis collaborative robots designed for lightweight automation. Both have a nominal payload of 3 kg and a 128 mm mounting footprint, but they prioritize different advantages. The FAIRINO FR3 is the stronger value-oriented choice. It offers better published repeatability, a lower direct purchase price, a published maximum payload of 5 kg, an optional IP65 configuration, and an 18-month manufacturer warranty. The Rainb

FAIRINO expands its portfolio with the ART7-R7 - a new generation of dual-arm humanoid robot featuring full-joint force control, high precision and an open architecture. Pre-orders are now open at a price of EUR 12,705 excl. VAT. The ART7-R7 is designed for applications that require the flexibility of human-like arm movement combined with precise force control and the ability to safely interact with its surroundings. 7-Axis Dual-Arm Humanoid Robot Each ART7-R7 arm features 7

We are pleased to announce the launch of our new AMR FR-AMR-300, a new addition to the FAIRINO product portfolio that combines autonomous mobile navigation with precise robotic manipulation. The FR-AMR-300 is designed to overcome the workspace limitations of traditional collaborative robots and enables flexible automation across different production and logistics environments. Key Highlights 1. Mobile Manipulation – “Move + Operate” The FR-AMR-300 can be equipped with FAIRINO

The FAIRINO FR16 and KUKA LBR iisy 15 R930 are medium-to-high-payload collaborative robots designed for demanding automation applications. Both can be deployed for CNC machine tending, material handling, packaging, assembly, inspection, screwdriving, dispensing, light palletizing and other repetitive industrial processes. The two cobots are closely matched in nominal payload but differ significantly in reach, repeatability, software ecosystem and acquisition cost. The FAIRINO

The FAIRINO FR10 and KUKA LBR iisy 11 R1300 occupy a highly competitive segment of the collaborative-robot market. Both are six-axis cobots designed for medium-payload automation, including machine tending, material handling, packaging, assembly, inspection, welding and light palletizing. On paper, their core performance specifications are remarkably close. The FAIRINO has a 10 kg rated payload, while the KUKA is rated for 11 kg. The FR10 reaches 1,400 mm, giving it 100 mm mo

Choosing between the FAIRINO FR5 and the KUKA LBR iisy 6 R1300 is not simply a question of selecting the robot with the longest reach or the lowest purchase price. These two collaborative robots approach automation from different directions. The FAIRINO FR5 is a compact and cost-effective 5 kg cobot designed to make precision automation accessible to manufacturers, integrators, educational institutions and small production facilities. It combines a public U.S. price of $7,999

The FAIRINO FR3 and KUKA LBR iisy 3 R760 are compact six-axis collaborative robots designed for lightweight industrial automation. Both robots have a nominal payload of 3 kg, support flexible mounting and can automate applications such as electronics assembly, inspection, laboratory handling, machine tending, dispensing, testing and pick-and-place operations. Despite sharing the same nominal payload class, these cobots represent very different purchasing strategies. The FAIRI

The FAIRINO FR5 and Mitsubishi MELFA ASSISTA RV-5AS-D are compact six-axis collaborative robots designed for many of the same automation projects: machine tending, pick and place, light assembly, testing, inspection, packaging, dispensing, laboratory automation, and repetitive material handling. Their nominal payload and reach specifications are remarkably close. Both are 5 kg-class cobots, both reach approximately 0.9 meters, both publish a maximum composite speed of 1 m/s,

The FAIRINO FR5 and OMRON TM5-900 are compact six-axis collaborative robots aimed at many of the same automation projects: machine tending, pick and place, inspection, light assembly, packaging, dispensing, testing, and repetitive material handling. They occupy a similar physical class, have nearly identical reach, and can be installed on a table, wall, or other suitable structure. However, they approach the automation problem from very different commercial and technical dire

Automation is often described as a technology purchase. In practice, it is a redesign of how work moves through a business. The machine matters, but it is rarely the first decision and never the whole solution. A successful project begins with a business constraint that can be measured: a machine that waits for an operator, a welding backlog that limits sales, an injury-prone lift, a packaging line that cannot keep pace, a quality check that varies by shift, or a repetitive t

The FAIRINO FR20 and OMRON TM20 are direct competitors in the 20 kg collaborative robot category. Both are six-axis cobots designed for palletizing, packaging, heavy machine tending, material transfer, assembly, inspection and other industrial automation applications. The FAIRINO FR20 emphasizes exceptionally long reach, higher published speed, additional payload headroom and low acquisition cost. Its 1,854 mm reach is unusually long for a cobot with a 20 kg nominal payload,

The FAIRINO FR16 and OMRON TM16 are direct competitors in the 16 kg collaborative robot category. Both are six-axis cobots designed for heavy component handling, machine tending, assembly, packaging, palletizing, inspection and material transfer. Because both robots have the same standard payload, this comparison exposes their other differences particularly clearly. The FAIRINO FR16 provides more reach, tighter published repeatability, a substantially higher published speed a

The FAIRINO FR16 and OMRON TM12 are medium-to-high-payload collaborative robots designed for machine tending, material handling, assembly, packaging, inspection and other demanding automation applications. However, their engineering priorities are significantly different. The FAIRINO FR16 emphasizes payload capacity, speed, repeatability and low acquisition cost. It provides a 16 kg nominal payload, a published 20 kg maximum payload and a 2 m/s typical TCP speed for a public

The FAIRINO FR10 and OMRON TM12 are medium-payload collaborative robots designed for machine tending, assembly, packaging, inspection, material handling and other industrial automation applications. Although they occupy a similar market segment, they approach automation from different directions. The FAIRINO FR10 focuses on longer reach, tighter published repeatability, higher speed and substantially lower acquisition cost. FAIRINO USA publicly lists the robot for $10,199, ma
