Cobot cells for flexible, operator-friendly automation in tight footprints.

Collaborative robot cell

Flexible automation beside your operators.

Cobots deploy in tight footprints without full guarding, tend machines, assist assembly, and redeploy fast as your mix changes.

We design the cell around your part and process, then build, program, and install it with in-house controls engineering and local support.

  • Cobot machine tending
  • Cobot palletizing
  • Assembly assist
  • Fenceless deployments
  • Fast redeployment

Frequently asked questions

What is a collaborative robot (cobot)?

A cobot is a lightweight, force-limited robot that can often work alongside operators without fencing after a risk assessment. CSM Robotics integrates cobots for machine tending, assembly, inspection, and palletizing across Minnesota and the Upper Midwest.

When should I choose a cobot over an industrial robot?

Cobots fit high-mix, lower-volume work, tight footprints, frequent changeovers, and tasks near people. For high volume or heavy parts, an industrial robot usually wins. See our cobots vs. industrial robots guide.

What areas does CSM Robotics serve?

CSM Robotics serves Minneapolis, St. Paul, Rochester, Duluth, St. Cloud, and manufacturers across Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, and the Dakotas from our shop in Ham Lake, MN.
