ROBOTIC APPLICATIONS
Assembly
3 robots available. From €18,500 to €45,000.
In summary
Assembly is the broadest robotic application — screwdriving, snap-fits and multi-stage product builds. Eurobots Marketplace lists used assembly robots across every family: SCARAs from Epson and Yamaha for fast vertical insertion, compact 6-axis from FANUC and KUKA for complex orientations, and collaborative arms from Universal Robots and FANUC CRX for human-adjacent assembly cells.
About this application
Assembly is the broadest application category — anything from screwdriving and snap-fits to multi-stage product builds. The robot family changes with the task: SCARAs for fast horizontal insertion, cobots for human-adjacent assembly, small 6-axis robots for complex orientations.
Used assembly robots are abundant because product cycles are short — when a manufacturer retools a line, the previous robots become available on the secondary market, often with low hours.

Frequently asked questions
SCARA, 6-axis or cobot for assembly?
SCARA (Epson, Mitsubishi, Yamaha) is fastest for vertical insertion at fixed orientation. Cobot (Universal Robots, FANUC CRX, KUKA LBR iiwa) wins when operators share the workspace. Compact 6-axis (FANUC LR Mate, KUKA KR 3 Agilus) is the all-rounder for complex 3D paths.
How precise can assembly robots be?
Repeatability on industrial robots is typically ±0.02–0.05 mm at the flange. Absolute accuracy is worse — when you need precise placement relative to a feature, add vision or use compliance (RCC wrist, force control).
Do I need force control for screwdriving?
Helpful but not always required. Most screwdriving uses torque feedback from the screwdriver itself, with the robot providing position and downforce. Force-controlled robots become essential for press-fit, snap-fit and insertion tasks with tight clearances.
