When you're running a machine shop handling 35-pound castings, bulky assemblies, or thick plate work, automation can feel out of reach—either too complicated or not built for the demands of your workflow. That’s exactly why we built OB7 Max 16.
The Heavy-Duty Cobot That Works Like a Shop Hand
OB7 Max 16 is our most powerful collaborative robot, designed and built in the USA specifically for high-payload applications. With a 35-pound payload capacity and zero programming required, it’s everything shops need to automate repetitive loading tasks—without calling in third-party integrators or writing a line of code.
Plug-and-Play Simplicity
While other cobots claim “simple programming,” we’ve eliminated programming altogether. OB7 Max 16 features the same intuitive, teach-by-touch system as all OB7 cobots. If your team can operate a smartphone, they can run this cobot.

Why OB7 Max 16 is a Game Changer:
35-pound payload – Handles heavy parts, thick stock, and high-force applications with ease
No programming – Teach it manually with just
your hands, no code or menus
39-inch reach – Ideal for maneuvering around large fixtures, vises, and multi-machine setups
7-axis design – Flexible enough to reach into tight or awkward spaces, including behind machine doors
Built in the USA – Fast support, high reliability, and direct factory contact—no middlemen
