Cobot-series

The Cobot series from NichoMachines consists of three collaborative robot models: 5 kg, 10 kg and 20 kg. The series is developed for industrial companies that want to streamline workflows such as pick & place, palletizing and component handling – without compromising on safety, usability or budget.

The robots can automate manual and repetitive tasks and are easy to install in both new and existing production lines. Each model is delivered ready to use, complete with control pad and CE-certified safety.

The three models have been carefully selected to cover different capacity needs:

Cobot 5 kg (Standard model) – compact model for easier handling and pick & place in smaller work areas.

Cobot 20 kg (Premium) – powerful solution for heavy items and demanding applications such as palletizing and logistics.

Cobot 10 kg (Plus model) – balanced robot for medium-sized tasks, with good reach and flexibility.
