Advice:

When you’re thinking about getting a cobot, remember that it’s not just about the cobot. You need to look at the total costs. This includes:

The cobot arm.
Extra stuff you need (things that stick to the cobot).
Making the cobot work with your production line.

Different Cobots, Different Costs

If you’re using a basic cobot to pick things up and put them down, you’ll usually just need a simple two-finger gripper. Getting the cobot to work with your production line is usually easier and costs less.
But if you’re doing something more complicated, like picking things from bins, you’ll need special things like software, machine vision systems, and special grippers. This can make it more expensive and a bit tricky to set up.
If the cobot is easy to install and set up, it’s usually cheaper. it’s a cost-saver, if you can just plug in extra stuff without doing complicated programming, it’s a cost-saver.
If your cobot will work on a production line that doesn’t change much, it won’t cost as much.

So, remember, when you look at cobot prices, think about the whole picture, not just the cobot itself. It’ll help you make smart choices.
