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 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

The FAIRINO FR16 and Hanwha HCR-12A are both medium-to-heavy payload collaborative robots, but they are not an exact payload match. The FAIRINO FR16 is a 16 kg cobot, while the Hanwha HCR-12A is a 12 kg cobot. The comparison is still useful because both robots target heavier automation tasks such as machine tending, automotive, metal processing, logistics, packaging, material handling, loading and unloading, and repetitive industrial workflows. The FAIRINO FR16 is a value-foc

The FAIRINO FR5 and Kawasaki CL105N are both compact 5 kg six-axis collaborative robots. This is a clean comparison because both robots sit in the same payload class and target applications such as pick and place, light assembly, inspection, compact machine tending, sealing, packaging, testing, electronics handling, and small-part automation. The FAIRINO FR5 is a value-focused 5 kg cobot with 5 kg nominal payload, 7 kg published maximum payload, 922 mm reach, ±0.02 mm movemen

The FAIRINO FR3 and Kawasaki CL103N are both compact 3 kg six-axis collaborative robots. This is a clean comparison because both robots target small-payload automation such as pick and place, light assembly, inspection, machine tending, sealing, electronics handling, and compact workcell automation. The FAIRINO FR3 is a value-focused compact cobot with 3 kg payload, 5 kg published maximum payload, 622 mm reach, ±0.02 mm repeatability, 1 m/s typical TCP speed, IP54 / IP65 opti

The FAIRINO FR30 and Kassow KR1240 are both heavy-payload collaborative robots, but they are not identical competitors. The FAIRINO FR30 is a 6-axis, 30 kg-class cobot focused on value, public pricing, longer reach, and ROI. The Kassow KR1240 is a 7-axis, 40 kg-class cobot focused on higher nominal payload, compact heavy handling, and flexible motion in constrained industrial workcells. FAIRINO’s official FR30 page lists 30 kg payload, 35 kg max payload, 1,403 mm reach, 6 rot
