ROBOT TYPES

Collaborative robots

2 robots available. From €45,000 to €45,000.

In summary

Collaborative robots — cobots — share workspaces with people without safety fencing, using force-limiting joints and built-in collision detection to keep contact safe. Eurobots Marketplace lists used cobots from Universal Robots, FANUC CRX, KUKA LBR iiwa, ABB GoFa and Doosan, with payloads from 3 kg up to 35 kg for light assembly and machine tending cells.

About this category

Collaborative robots — cobots — are designed to share a workspace with people without safety fencing. They use force-limiting joints, rounded enclosures and built-in collision detection so that contact with a human triggers a safe stop instead of an injury. The trade-off is speed and payload: cobots are typically slower and lighter than industrial robots, but they deploy in days instead of months.

Used cobots are increasingly common as early adopters refresh their fleets. Universal Robots dominates the secondary market, with FANUC CRX, KUKA LBR iiwa, ABB GoFa/YuMi and Doosan also widely available.

Frequently asked questions

  • Cobot or industrial robot — how do I choose?

    Cobots win when humans share the workspace, when programming time matters (cobots teach in hours), or when payload is small (<10 kg) and short production runs make a fenced industrial cell uneconomic. Industrial robots win on speed, payload and unattended duty. For heavy parts or 24/7 night-shift operation, an industrial robot in a fenced cell almost always pays off.

  • Are cobots really safe without fencing?

    Force-limited cobots can run fence-free only after a risk assessment (ISO/TS 15066) that considers the gripper, the part, the tool tip and the speed. Sharp edges, hot parts or pinch points usually require either a guarded enclosure or speed reduction. The robot is safe — the application around it might not be.

  • What payload do cobots support?

    Mainstream cobots range from 3 kg (UR3, FANUC CRX-5iA) to 20-35 kg (UR20, Doosan H-Series, FANUC CRX-25iA). Anything heavier exists but is rare on the used market.

  • How much does a used cobot cost?

    Used Universal Robots arms (UR3-UR10, 5-8 years old) typically sell for €8,000-€18,000 bare arm. Newer UR10e and UR16e land at €20,000-€32,000. Add €2,000-€8,000 for a quality gripper, vision and integration.

  • Can I add safety fencing to a cobot?

    Yes — running a cobot at full speed inside a guarded cell is a common pattern. You lose the collaborative benefit but gain speed. Many integrators use cobots this way simply because of fast programming and lower controller cost.
