The versatile 6kg collaborative robot arm with 914mm reach and ±0.03mm repeatability — supplied, integrated and supported in the UK by Robot Center
The Elite Robots CS66 is a versatile 6-axis collaborative robot (cobot) with a 6kg payload, 914mm reach and ±0.03mm repeatability. It is the all-rounder of the Elite Robots CS Series, designed for general-purpose automation such as machine tending, assembly, pick and place, packing, quality inspection, dispensing and light palletising.
Weighing just 20kg with a Ø150mm base footprint, the CS66 fits onto pedestals, mobile carts and compact workcells 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 CS66 for UK manufacturers, machine shops, packaging and logistics operations.

As a UK robotics specialist, Robot Center helps organisations choose, buy, integrate and optimise the Elite Robots CS66. We look at your parts, cycle time, gripper and workspace first, then recommend whether the CS66 is the right fit — or whether the smaller CS63 (3kg, 624mm) or the larger CS612 (12kg, 1304mm) would suit the job better.
Explore the full range on our Elite Robots and collaborative robots pages.
The CS66 is the go-to all-rounder for repetitive, medium-weight tasks where you need more payload and reach than a compact cobot offers, without the footprint and guarding of a traditional industrial robot. It is ideal for machine tending, packing, inspection and anywhere people and robots need to share the same space.
Popular CS66 applications include machine tending, pick and place, assembly and screwdriving, machine vision and quality inspection, material handling and processing, dispensing and light palletising. It is used across automotive, electronics, metal and machining, plastics, chemical and pharmaceutical, new energy, FMCG, logistics and smart retail.
Transfer, sort, pack and label small parts and products at speed. The CS66’s 6kg payload and 914mm reach let it handle heavier products, larger grippers and wider conveyors and trays, with ±0.03mm repeatability on every pick.
Automate screw and nut driving, tightening, part fitting and insertion for electronics and small mechanical assemblies — with consistent quality on every cycle.
Pair the CS66 with a camera to present parts for inspection, read codes and check for defects. Its 914mm reach lets it present parts to cameras from multiple angles and serve larger inspection cells.
Sanding, polishing, deburring, drilling, gluing and dispensing, plus handling components between stations, fixtures and conveyors.
Load and unload CNC machines, injection moulding machines, presses and test rigs. The CS66 handles most small-to-medium parts plus gripper within its 6kg payload, and its 914mm reach can comfortably serve a machine door and an infeed/outfeed table.
At the end of the line, the CS66 can pack cartons and build light-duty pallets of smaller cases. It is also used in smart retail and food service to prepare, serve and hand over products in customer-facing spaces.
The CS66 combines payload, reach, safety and simple programming in a compact, easy-to-deploy package. Every standard order includes everything you need to start automating:
There are three common ways UK organisations get started with the CS66. We will recommend the right route based on your budget, timescales and in-house skills.
Buying the CS66 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.
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.
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 CS66 is productive from day one.
To get the best results from the CS66, correct setup, tooling and programming are essential. Robot Center supports you from first enquiry through to live production.
