Thinking about installing a robot cell but not sure where to start?

You’re in good company.

These are the questions we hear most often—and our answers are designed to be as straightforward as the systems we build.

Automation Solutions Australia | Faq

Most of our robot cells range between $100k–$150k, fully installed and operating.

We use locally sourced components from trusted suppliers like Festo, Sick, and Celltec.

Need product conveyors? Depending on design, they may add $20k+ to the project.

The technology behind the robot is complex—but you won’t need to be.

We design our Human Machine Interface (HMI) to be icon-based and intuitive, so you don’t need deep machinery knowledge or fluent English to operate it.

Aside from your existing pallet or conveyor footprint, the robot itself typically takes up about the size of one pallet.

For safety, consider:

  • Light curtains require 1.5m clearance at the front
  • Hinged/sliding gates offer a more compact layout

Yes. We’ve worked around support columns, tight corners, doorways, split levels… you name it.

Every robot cell is custom-built to slot into your space like the final piece of the puzzle. Because flexibility isn’t an upgrade—it’s built in from day one.

Most installations can happen within 6–8 weeks.
Need something more specific requirements? A 12-week timeline helps accommodate extra fabrication or sourcing

Once components arrive, expect a three-day production pause:

  • Day 3: Robot is running and being fine-tuned
  • Day 4: Final tweaks and team training

Yes—our robots meet international safety standards and carry CE Certification.
We also comply with Australian safeguarding regulations, and you’ll receive a risk assessment report at the completion of the project.

We exclusively use Fanuc robots from Japan, paired with German supplied components and Australian fabricated items.

This means robust systems, technical support, and spare parts on hand—plus peace of mind from knowing your equipment’s built to last

Coming from the field of maintenance in the automotive industry, we know that proven robust solutions provide ‘sleep at night’ knowing  your equipment is ready to work.

We hear you. Unlike laptops, Fanuc robots don’t run on hard drives or Windows OS—they operate more like a calculator.

Everything is built at Fanuc in-house for 99.99% reliability, and that’s why we trust them for every install.

No paid endorsements here—we just trust them because they work.

Automation Solutions Australia | Faq

Yes—because the robot is always ready to work.

From the moment your team walks in, the robot’s waiting to work. It doesn’t need breaks, take leave, or lose focus—it simply delivers, hour after hour.

By eliminating downtime and keeping pace with your production needs, you’ll see:

  • Faster task completion
  • More consistent throughput
  • A team that’s free to focus on higher-value work

Robots don’t replace people—they support them. They’re always there to get the job done, even when things get busy.

Simple:

  • Annual battery change (about $15) keeps positioning memory intact
  • Routine maintenance is based on hours run
  • Fanuc technicians are available out of capital cities if you’d rather not DIY

Designed for the long haul, these systems rarely need more than routine attention.

Automation Solutions Australia | Faq

Yes—your robot cell is fully tax deductible as a depreciating asset.
Leasing options may even cost less than wages, and shorter terms mean quicker ROI.
Local grants or rebates may also apply depending on your region.

Best run it past your accountant though..
