Industrial Robot OEMs 工业机器人本体
Six-axis arms, SCARA and Delta robots — the workhorses of factory automation.
Industrial robots are the proven core of the whole industry: caged, repeatable arms that weld, paint, handle and assemble at scale. Six-axis arms offer general reach and flexibility; SCARA robots excel at fast pick-and-place; and Delta robots dominate high-speed light handling. Global volume has long been led by a "big four" — FANUC, Yaskawa, ABB and KUKA — with fast-rising Chinese OEMs reshaping the mid-market.
This is a mature, cyclical market tied to manufacturing capex, but it is the cash-generating base on which the more speculative cobot and humanoid frontiers are being built. Localisation, software and after-sales increasingly decide who wins.
What to watch
- Chinese OEMs taking domestic share from the "big four"
- Software and ease-of-deployment as the new battleground
- Automation capex cycles tied to manufacturing demand
