The FAIRINO FR10 and Kawasaki CL110N are both 10 kg six-axis collaborative robots. This is a clean comparison because both robots sit in the same payload class and target applications such as machine tending, welding support, pick and place, packaging, assembly, inspection, material handling, and repetitive production-line automation.
The FAIRINO FR10 is a value-focused cobot with 10 kg nominal payload, 14 kg max published payload, 1,400 mm reach, ±0.05 mm repeatability, 1.5 m/s typical TCP speed, IP54 / IP65 optional, ≈40 kg robot weight, and a public U.S. listed price of $10,199.
The Kawasaki CL110N is a premium CL Series cobot with 10 kg payload, 1,000 mm reach, 6 axes, ±0.02 mm repeatability, IP66 classification, and Kawasaki’s CL Series industrial-cobot ecosystem. Kawasaki’s official page confirms the CL110N model, payload, reach, mounting options, CL Series lineup, IP66 classification, 200°/s class speed positioning, repeatability, safety architecture, and connectivity.
For price, I found a real public Kawasaki price reference, but it is not a standalone CL110N robot MSRP. Kawasaki’s own CL Series welding-cart PDF lists CL110N as one of the robot options and shows parts and prebuilt options starting at $75,000, with financing examples for a Kawasaki Weld Cart | $75,000. That is a public Kawasaki package price reference, not a bare-arm robot price.

Price conclusion | FAIRINO wins clearly | Kawasaki is premium / package-priced |
The price comparison must be written carefully. FAIRINO FR10 has a direct robot price: $10,199. Kawasaki does not show a clean public standalone CL110N robot MSRP in the sources found. The real public numeric Kawasaki price available is a CL Series weld-cart package starting at $75,000, where the PDF lists CL108N and CL110N as robot options.
Visible price sentence to place near the table:
Kawasaki CL110N standalone public MSRP was not found. This comparison uses Kawasaki’s public CL Series weld-cart package reference of $75,000, which includes CL Series robot options such as CL110N and related welding-cart components. Final pricing may vary by robot-only quote, distributor, controller configuration, tooling, software, shipping, taxes, support, and integration package.
