Automation for all
OB7 collaborative robots (cobots) provide high quality, safe automation for small and large businesses alike, for practically any task that needs to be repeated—including machine tending, dispensing, finishing processes, and far more.
By ensuring that every second counts between cycles and processes while maintaining total accuracy, OB7 will provide fast gains in throughput, productivity, and consistency in production.
Anyone can automate
OB7 learns jobs by physical demonstration, making it simple for existing staff to set up jobs without having any robot experience
Boost productivity
Get the competitive edge of advanced robotic automation without the barriers of complex integration, high costs, and robot programming.
Strengthen teams
Cobot automation allows core teams to pivot quickly, stay ahead of labor challenges and work confidently with cutting edge technology.
Applications
Zero programming tablet
Software that stays out of your way
Simplicity
Whether it is high volume runs, small-batch production, or high mix/low volume production, the benefits of our cobots provide a simple, intuitive, and affordable entryway into automation for a wide variety of applications.
6-axis
7-axis
No reach
7-axis flexibility
The same freedom of motion as the human arm
Reach where 6-axis cobots can't
7-axis give OB7 cobots unmatched flexibility. Their lightweight, small robot footprint and extra flexibility make them ideal for working in various industrial manufacturing environments and assembly lines.
Reliable
OB7 is engineered to perform and has been field proven since in shops all across America.
Intuitive
Agile
Redeploy OB7 to a new job quickly and easily, as needs change. Once a job is learned it can be quickly recalled on the teach tablet at any time.

OB Vision
Robot vision option: table top picking
Simply show OB7 a sample of the part to be picked and it is automatically programmed. Multiple different objects can be identified and sorted simultaneously. Parts are easily picked out of grid trays. OB Vision is compatible with most grippers, including Productive Robotics’ PG2 grippers and most vacuum grippers.
OB7 robots are compatible with most grippers, including:
Robotiq, OnRobot, Piab, Schmalz, PhD, Schunk and more.
OB7 Rolling Stand
Mounted on this industrial quality and stable rolling stand, OB7 can quickly and easily be moved between work cells. An integrated battery back-up power supply keeps OB7 powered up and running when moving.
PG2 Parallel Gripper
A fully integrated two finger electric robotic gripper designed for OB7 series collaborative robots. IP65 rated and compatible with Productive Robotics’ dual gripper installations. Machinable fingers and silicone finger pads included.
DUAL PG2 Gripper
Minimize machine wait time during part reloading by unloading a completed part, then immediately reloading a new blank. This eliminates the extra trip to and from the machine, and in lathe operations with short cycle times, also frees the operator to prepare other jobs.
Deburring Stage
As the deburring wheels wear, the Deburring Stage adjusts automatically while continuing to apply a constant force as parts are processed. The deburring stage supports most common rotary bench grinders or tools. The OB7 robots provide control of the deburring stage and rotary tool.
Fluid Controller
Controls pneumatically driven fluid and bonding material delivery, including vacuum retract at the end of bonding cycles. Both dispense pressure and vacuum retract pressure are adjustable. Dispense and retract actuation and times are fully controller by any OB7 robot.
OB7 Assembly Table
A convenient and optimized work surface which mounts securely to the OB7 Rolling Stand. Made from 6061-T6 anodized aluminum with integrated, threaded, work fixture hold-down and pin registration holes.
Sanding Attachment
Provides dynamic control of contact forces in sanding applications. The ATI Orbital Sander can be easily integrated onto any OB7 robot.
General Equipment Interface
The OB7 General Equipment Interface (GEI) is a cost effective solution for interfacing to most production machinery. The interface has 8 electrically isolated digital and analog inputs, 8 electrically digital outputs, and 4 analog inputs. The OB7 GEI connects to OB7 with a single cable which can be unplugged when moving between jobs.
All inclusive machine tending packages
Complete out-of-the-box solutions with everything needed to add OB7 robotic machine tending to your CNC mill, lathe or deburring.
