Industrial robots

Several robot architectures exist in the industrial world, such as articulated robots, SCARA robots, delta robots, cartesian robots or collaborative robots. Stäubli focuses on the two architectures that offer the highest flexibility, precision and suitability for demanding industrial environments:

• 6‑axis articulated robots: providing full 3D motion and precise orientation control for complex, high‑performance tasks across all industries. Stäubli’s articulated robots integrate advanced safety functions (SafeSpeed, SafeStop, SafeZone, SafeTool) through the CS9 controller, enabling safe, high‑productivity operation.
• SCARA robots: optimized for ultra‑fast and highly repeatable horizontal movements in compact workspaces. They are ideal for assembly, small handling operations, and high‑speed pick-and-place tasks.

Together, these two robot families cover most industrial automation needs, supported by specialized variants for cleanroom, pharmaceutical, humid, hygienic, electronics and medical environments.

Stäubli offers a comprehensive suite of powerful yet user-friendly software solutions perfectly adapted for all: end users, integrators, OEMs and machine builders.

To learn how to use a Stäubli robot, training courses are available at Stäubli Robotics Academy. These programs enable you to quickly acquire the skills you need to fully exploit the robot's performance. The training courses cover all aspects of using a Stäubli robot: programming, safety, cell conception, simulation,…

The availability rate of Stäubli robots is 99.95%. Their maintainability relies on an international organization dedicated to ensuring the continuous operation of the equipment. A network of 26 service centers worldwide provides high responsiveness and rapid intervention when needed. This efficiency is reinforced by optimized stock management, which guarantees immediate availability of essential parts and reduces unexpected downtime. The robots also benefit from a 15-year spare parts availability commitment, a threshold that is often exceeded thanks to a long-term support strategy. To further extend the operational lifespan of installations, the Care Packs offer services solutions tailored to the requirements of each industry.

Stäubli robots are designed to offer an exceptionally long life, maintaining reliability, stability, and performance over the long term. It is common to see equipment operating beyond 150 000 hours, more than 17 years of continuous use, which demonstrates robustness suited to the most demanding industrial environments.

Stäubli robots stand out for having some of the lowest energy consumption on the market, between 0.25 and 1.3 kWh, depending on the model. For example, the hibernation mode enables up to a 40% reduction in consumption when the robot drives are stopped. During normal operation, the energy-efficient performance of the Stäubli robot range helps optimize the overall efficiency of the installation while reducing operating costs.
