About RARUK Automation
RARUK Automation supplies robotics and automation equipment to UK manufacturers, OEMs and integrators. It was an early Universal Robots distributor and has expanded its range to include MiR autonomous mobile robots, Robotiq grippers and other automation suppliers.
The company also combines third-party equipment into offerings such as the ER-FLEX mobile cobot, which mounts a Universal Robots arm on a MiR250 base. Its commercial layer is distribution, configuration and local support rather than manufacture of the underlying robot platforms. RARUK publishes a direct automation contact route.
