Elite Robots CS63 Cobot

The compact 3kg collaborative robot arm with 624mm reach and ±0.02mm repeatability — supplied, integrated and supported in the UK by Robot Center

The Elite Robots CS63 is a compact 6-axis collaborative robot (cobot) with a 3kg payload, 624mm reach and ±0.02mm repeatability. It is the smallest arm in the Elite Robots CS Series and is designed for lightweight, high-precision automation such as table-top assembly, pick and place, machine vision, soft-grip handling, lab automation, and research and education.

Weighing just 15kg with a Ø128mm base footprint, the CS63 fits onto benches, into tight workcells and alongside existing production lines where a traditional industrial robot would need far more space and fixed guarding. Robot Center works with Elite Robots to supply, integrate and support the CS63 for UK manufacturers, labs, universities and retail operators.

Key Elite Robots CS63 highlights:

 

  • 3kg payload and 624mm working radius
  • ±0.02mm repeatability for precision tasks
  • Typical TCP speed of up to 2.0 m/s
  • Small Ø128mm footprint and 15kg arm weight
  • IP65 as standard, upgradeable to IP68
  • Tool I/O with RS485 / Modbus RTU for grippers and end effectors
  • 12.1″ full-touch teach pendant for simple, no-code style programming

As a UK robotics specialist, Robot Center helps organisations choose, buy, integrate and optimise the Elite Robots CS63. We look at your parts, cycle time, gripper and workspace first, then recommend whether the CS63 is the right fit — or whether a larger CS Series cobot such as the CS66 (6kg, 914mm) or CS612 (12kg, 1304mm) would suit the job better.

What Is the Elite Robots CS63 Used For?

The CS63 is built for small, repetitive, precision tasks where speed of deployment and a small footprint matter more than heavy payload. It is ideal for table-top cells, soft-grip handling and anywhere people and robots need to share the same space.

Popular CS63 applications include pick and place, assembly and screwdriving, machine vision, material handling and processing, retail and food service, plus research and education. It is used across automotive subcontractors, electronics, chemical and pharmaceutical, FMCG and smart retail.

Pick and Place, Sorting and Packing

Transfer, sort, pack and label small parts and products at speed. The CS63’s ±0.02mm repeatability and soft-gripper compatibility make it ideal for delicate or mixed-shape items on compact lines.

Assembly and Screwdriving

Automate screw and nut driving, tightening, part fitting and insertion for electronics and small mechanical assemblies — with consistent quality on every cycle.

Machine Vision and Quality Inspection

Pair the CS63 with a camera to present parts for inspection, read codes and check for defects. Its compact reach makes it a natural fit for bench-top inspection cells.

Material Processing and Handling

Sanding, polishing, drilling, routing and light dispensing tasks on small parts, plus handling components between stations and fixtures.

Research, Education and Labs

Universities, colleges and R&D teams use the CS63 as an affordable, safe, bench-top cobot for teaching robotics, prototyping automation and lab sample handling.

Retail and Food Service

In smart retail and hospitality, the CS63 can prepare, serve and hand over small items — a compact way to add eye-catching automation to kiosks and customer-facing spaces.

Buy the CS63 Cobot

Buying the CS63 outright is the best option for long-term, in-house automation. We supply the arm, controller and teach pendant, plus the right gripper and accessories for your application. See our UK cobot cost guide for typical budgets.

Lease or Robotics-as-a-Service

Spread the cost with leasing or Robotics-as-a-Service (RaaS). This is ideal for pilots, proof-of-concept trials and businesses that want automation without a large upfront capital outlay.

Complete CS63 Workcell Integration

For production use, we design and deliver the full cell — cobot, gripper, vision, fixtures, table or pedestal, safety risk assessment, programming and operator training — so your CS63 is productive from day one.
