Thinking about automating your Haas machine?

Not all cobots are created equal. Before you commit to a system that only works one way, make sure you’re asking the right questions. Here’s how the OB7 stacks up:

Q1: What kind of access will I have to the machine?
OB7 Cobot: Full access. OB7’s 7-axis arm reaches around doors and fixtures so you’re never blocked from your CNC machine.
Haas Cobot: Limited. The fixed 6-axis arm can block the front of the machine and restrict access.
Q2: Will it work with my older Haas machines?
OB7 Cobot: Yes. OB7 is plug-and-play with any Haas mill or lathe — no matter how old.
Haas Cobot:Â No. It only supports select recent models and offers no compatibility with older machines.
Q3: Can I move it between machines?
OB7 Cobot:Â Yes. OB7 is mobile and can be rolled easily between CNC machines. It can even tend two machines at once.
Haas Cobot: No. It’s bolted in place and built to stay with a single machine.
Q4: Can it be used for anything other than machine tending?
OB7 Cobot: Absolutely. OB7 can also handle deburring, part inspection, packaging, assembly, CMM loading, and more. It’s a flexible tool you can redeploy as your needs change.
Haas Cobot: No. It’s designed solely for machine tending on Haas machines.

Don’t get locked in. OB7 gives you flexibility, access, and compatibility with the machines you already own — and the ones you’ll add in the future.
