I have a customer that has a process that would lend itself to automation via a robot. After reading a thread on this forum I looked at Universal brand robots. The look neat and their programming seems relatively easy but their price caught me off guard...$48K for the medium size machine.
Is that price a deal...do other, larger units sell for hundreds of thousands of dollars. I looked on eBay and saw used robots for under $15K. I think the application I have in mind is for a small arm with light weights involved..almost a pick and place scenario.
So..would one expect to pay $50K + for a robot, software and accessories.
