About
About autonox Robotics
autonox Robotics manufactures robot mechanics that machine builders connect to their preferred motors, drives and control platform. Its portfolio includes two-dimensional DuoPod units, high-speed Delta mechanisms, articulated arms and SCARA structures, with hundreds of combinations of axes, payload and workspace. Because motion control stays inside the wider machine architecture, an integrator can operate the robot like other servo axes without a separate proprietary controller.
Parallel-kinematic models keep the drives on the fixed frame, reducing moving mass for rapid picking, packing and assembly. Options include washdown construction for food lines, integrated media routing, telescopic tool shafts and automatic gripper changes; Delta models reach payloads above 50 kilograms and workspaces beyond two metres. The company also provides interfaces and adapters for major automation ecosystems. More than 6,000 mechanics have been installed worldwide, and autonox reported delivering about 1,500 units in 2024 across packaging, food, automotive, battery and general manufacturing.

Timeline
Events
- 2026-06-23 - Deployment - autonox Delta robot powers Cranswick 240-pick-per-minute packaging cell
The cell detects the presence and orientation of each sausage before robotic pick, alignment and packaging. The autonox Delta robot handles the product at 240 picks per minute. CWM Automation designed and supplied the automated system, with Rockwell Kinetix VP servo motors and GuardLogix 5380 safety control.
Source - 2024-01-22 - Capability - toolcraft develops machining and hybrid deposition robot cells
The milling cell uses a six-axis robot developed with autonox Robotics and offline CAM programming. The hybrid cell combines a Mabi robot, deposition welding and automated spindle changes for machining in one setup.
Source - 2023-05-23 - Partnership - Rockwell and autonox announce unified robot-control partnership
The partnership spans North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. The agreement pairs Rockwell's unified robot control with autonox DELTA and DuoPod mechanics. The partners target manufacturing automation applications.
