Robotics Company UK: Industrial Robots, Integration & Automation
Robot Store is a UK robotics company and automation company in one. We sell new, used and refurbished ABB, KUKA and FANUC industrial robots, then program, integrate and support them on your production line. One partner for robotics and automation — from a single robot from £6,500 to a complete turnkey robotic cell.

Robotics and automation from one UK partner
Most manufacturers exploring robotics in the UK end up juggling several suppliers: a robot manufacturer for the arm, a system integrator for the cell, a programmer for the code and someone else for spares. Every hand-off adds cost, delay and risk.
As a robotics company that both supplies robots and delivers automation, Robot Store removes those hand-offs. We hold ABB, KUKA and FANUC robots in stock, match the right robot to your application, then program, integrate, commission and support it — with one point of contact and one quote.
Because we specialise in refurbished industrial robots, less of your budget goes on the robot itself and more goes on the tooling, guarding and integration that make a project succeed — so you reach payback sooner.

Robotics companies compared: manufacturer vs integrator vs Robot Store
Not every robotics company in the UK offers the same thing. Here’s how the three main types typically compare when you’re planning a robotics project.
| Factor | Robot manufacturer (OEM) | System integrator | Robot Store |
|---|---|---|---|
| Robot brands | One brand only | Usually one or two preferred brands | ABB, KUKA & FANUC — we recommend what fits |
| New or refurbished | New only | Mostly new | New & refurbished |
| Robot cost | Full list price | List price plus margin | Clear Pricing, No Surprises |
| Robot lead time | Often several months | Depends on the manufacturer | In-stock ready for refurbishment |
| Programming & integration | Usually via partner integrators | Core service | In-house |
| Project size | High-volume, large projects | Medium to large projects | Single robot to complete cell |
| Spares & support | Official service network | Varies by integrator | Parts, programming & training |
| Best for | Large lines standardised on one brand | Complex bespoke lines | Manufacturers and SMEs wanting cost-effective automation |

How our robotics and automation projects work
A clear six-step process takes you from an automation idea to a working robotic system — with a fixed price agreed before any work starts.
Discuss your requirements
Tell us about your parts, process, volumes and challenges. Photos or videos of the current task help.
Feasibility & payback check
We check whether robotics suits the task and estimate the cost, savings and payback period.
Robot & system selection
We match the robot, controller and tooling to your payload, reach and cycle time — new or refurbished.
Cell design & simulation
We lay out the robot cell, guarding and safety system and confirm reach and cycle times before build.
Install & commission
The system is installed, programmed, tested and signed off, ready for production.
Training & ongoing support
Your team is trained to run the robot, with programming changes, parts and engineering support when you need them.
Why UK manufacturers choose Robot Store
We’re an industrial robotics company built around one idea: automation should be affordable and low-risk for every UK manufacturer, not just the biggest.
- Supplier and integrator in oneFewer hand-offs, one contract and one point of contact from first call to go-live.
- Clear prices in £Robots are listed with price, controller, payload and reach — no hidden "price on request".
- Refurbished robots that cut project costThe same reach, payload and accuracy for up to 80% less than buying new.
- Multi-brand, not tied to one manufacturerWe recommend the ABB, KUKA or FANUC robot that best fits the job.
- Projects of any sizeFrom a single used robot to a complete automated cell or line.

8 questions to ask any robotics company before you buy
Comparing robotics companies in the UK? These questions separate a good automation partner from an expensive one — and here’s how we answer them.
1. Which robot brands do you work with?
A single-brand supplier will always recommend its own robot. Our answer: ABB, KUKA and FANUC, so the robot fits your job — not our catalogue.
2. Can you supply refurbished robots as well as new?
Refurbished robots can cut the robot cost by 50–80%. Our answer: yes — new, used and refurbished, tested before dispatch.
3. Do you program and integrate in-house?
Every subcontractor adds margin and delay. Our answer: yes — robot programming and integration are core services.
4. Will I get a fixed-price quote?
Open-ended day rates make budgets hard to control. Our answer: yes — the scope and price are agreed before work starts.
5. What's included besides the robot?
The robot is often less than half the project cost. Our answer: our quotes itemise tooling, guarding, safety, integration and training.
6. Can you show the payback before I commit?
A payback estimate should come before the purchase order. Our answer: yes — every project starts with a feasibility and payback check.
7. Who supports the robot after go-live?
Downtime is where automation loses money. Our answer: we provide training, spare parts, programming changes and engineering support.
8. Can you work with robots we already own?
Redeploying an existing robot can be the cheapest automation of all. Our answer: yes — reprogramming, relocation, parts and upgrades.

Robotics company FAQs
What does a robotics company do?
A robotics company designs, supplies, programs or integrates robots. In manufacturing, that usually means supplying industrial robots and turning them into working automated systems — selecting the robot, designing the cell, programming, installation, training and ongoing support. Robot Store does all of these for ABB, KUKA and FANUC robots.
What is the difference between a robotics company and an automation company?
A robotics company focuses on robots — supplying, programming and integrating them. An automation company covers the wider system, such as PLCs, conveyors, vision, sensors and control systems. Most projects need both, which is why we work as a robotics and automation company. Learn more about our industrial automation systems.
Is Robot Store a robot supplier or a robotic integrator?
Both. We sell new, used and refurbished industrial robots, and we also provide robotic integration, robot programming and training. You can buy a robot on its own or a complete turnkey cell.
Do you work with small and medium-sized manufacturers?
Yes. Refurbished robots and flexible support options make automation affordable for SMEs, including first-time robot users. We can supply a single robot, a robot ready to run, or a complete robotic cell.
How much does it cost to work with a robotics company?
It depends on the scope. Refurbished industrial robots start from £6,500, while complete robotic cells cost more depending on tooling, guarding, integration and programming. Quotes are free — see our robot prices guide for typical costs.
Can you support robots we already own?
Yes. We can reprogram, relocate or redeploy existing ABB, KUKA and FANUC robots, supply spare parts and train your team to keep them running.
Do you cover the whole of the UK?
Yes. We supply robots and support robotics and automation projects across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, and we also supply customers outside the UK.
How do I start a robotics project with Robot Store?
