About
About Elite Robots
Elite Robots manufactures six-axis collaborative arms across its EC and CS product families. Payloads extend from 3 kg to 30 kg, with different reach, wrist and environmental configurations for compact assembly through heavier palletising. Integrated torque sensing, collision detection and configurable safety functions allow the arm to work in collaborative applications when the complete cell and risk assessment permit it.
Customers programme the cobot through a graphical interface or external APIs and add grippers, cameras, welding equipment, screwdrivers or other tools from Elite’s partner ecosystem. The company also supplies application packages and turnkey cells for machine tending, inspection, welding, assembly and end-of-line work. Global distributors and integrators handle local commissioning and support, while Elite retains the arm, controller and software platform beneath each deployment.
