This article explains how cobot welders work and outlines their benefits in productivity, cost reduction, ease-of-use, weld quality, safety, and system selection. Transitioning from traditional welding to collaborative robotic welding is not only a technological upgrade but also a strategic move toward safer, more efficient, and scalable manufacturing.

The Fairino FR5 is a compact collaborative robot (or cobot) with a 5 kg payload and 922 mm reach. Engineered from the ground up to meet explosion-proof safety standards, it’s ideal for small spaces and multi-station workflows that require both precision and compliance.

Investing in automation means making informed decisions—especially when it comes to robotic end of arm tooling. Also known as robotic...

In modern automation, selecting the right robot end effector can make or break the performance of your robotic system. Often referred to as robotic EOAT (End of Arm Tooling), end effectors are the tools attached to the end of a robot arm that interact with the environment to perform tasks like gripping, welding, cutting, or moving parts. But not all end effector types are created equal. Below, we break down common end effector types, their best applications, and real-world us

When people imagine robots on a factory floor, they often picture the arm—but it’s the tool at the end of the arm, the end effector, that truly defines what a robot can do. Whether gripping, welding, or painting, the end effector is the business end of any robotic arm—and choosing the right one is critical to your automation success.

The cost of cobot arms can range greatly, and much of the excess cost can be attributed to how much payload the robotic arm is cleared to carry. Here are the a few of the latest collaborative robotic arms on the market right now and their respective weight categories.

As collaborative robots become more accessible, 2025 is shaping up to be a breakout year for small manufacturers automating repetitive tasks. Whether you’re exploring your first deployment or looking to expand your robotic cell, choosing the best robotic arm depends on your application, environment, and support needs. Here’s a breakdown of the top collaborative robotic arms of 2025, focused on usability, integration, and ROI.
