- 12 min read
The FAIRINO FR10 and ABB GoFa 10 are both 10 kg six-axis collaborative robots designed for medium-payload automation. Both can support CNC machine tending, machine loading, pick and place, assembly, inspection, packaging, welding support, screwdriving, dispensing, material handling, and flexible manufacturing cells.
This is a strong comparison because both robots sit in the 10 kg collaborative robot class, but they are aimed at very different buyers.
The FAIRINO FR10 is a value-focused 10 kg cobot with public U.S. pricing, 14 kg published maximum payload headroom, 1,400 mm reach, optional IP65 protection, and strong ROI positioning.
The ABB GoFa 10 is a premium collaborative robot from ABB Robotics, built around the ABB ecosystem: OmniCore C30, RobotWare, RobotStudio, Wizard Easy Programming, SafeMove Collaborative, integrated torque sensors, and ABB’s global automation infrastructure. ABB’s published product range lists the GoFa family as 5 / 10 / 12 kg payload, with GoFa 10 represented by CRB 15000-10/1.52.
The clean comparison is:
FAIRINO FR10 = lower price, payload headroom, strong reach, optional IP65, and better ROI transparency.
ABB GoFa 10 = longer reach, better repeatability, faster speed, IP67 protection, and premium ABB ecosystem.

Price Comparison
Robot | Public Price | Price Source Type |
FAIRINO FR10 | $10,199 | FAIRINO USA public listed price |
ABB GoFa 10 | Quote required | No clear official ABB MSRP found |
ABB purchasing path | Distributor / quote-based | Purvis and Proax show request/add-to-quote style pages |
Price conclusion | FAIRINO wins on price transparency | ABB requires quote for a clean final price |
The FAIRINO FR10 has a major price-transparency advantage because FAIRINO USA lists the robot at $10,199. ABB GoFa 10 is generally sold through ABB and authorized distributors; the distributor pages found identify the product and specifications but do not provide a clean public MSRP.
For ROI-focused buyers, FAIRINO has the clearer commercial story. ABB may still make sense when the buyer values ABB’s ecosystem, RobotStudio, RobotWare, service network, enterprise purchasing, and plant standardization.
Main Technical Comparison
