HOW MUCH DOES INDUSTRIAL ROBOT COST?
Robots are predictable and produce high-quality work, they offer peace-of-mind to business’s owner. But, there are concerns about robot cost and the question that always people ask is How much do Industrial Robots cost?
First of all, you need to know the current labour costs related to manual tasks as follow:
The current costs are:
- Number of employees per shift
- Number of shifts per day
- Employee(s) yearly cost
- Downtime costs
- Scrap Parts Costs
Element Robotic Investment
- Industrial Robot – New industrial arm or refurbished robots. Depend on the company budget. A reconditioned robot is very reliable, and they can last up to 20 years with a good maintenance routine.
- Integrated turntable
- End of arm tooling (gripper, spindles, etc)
- Robot Control Panel (electrical design, control panel build and testing)
- Mechanical installation
- Trajectory robot programming, if needed
- Robot training, if needed

The staffs that were operating the manual machine not necessarily have to be removed completely. In fact, the robot will perform repetitive tasks and the employees have the opportunity to learn new robotic tasks as follows:
- Operate the industrial robot arm.
- Programming the robot
- Employees can concentrate on other value-added tasks like quality control.
- Maintenance of the robot
