What is a commercial industrial robot?
An industrial robot is an arm that moves a tool or a part along programmed paths. It has at least three controlled axes, a controller that holds the program, and a hand-held pendant used to teach it. The same arm can be set up for another job by changing its program and, where needed, its tool. In a factory it carries a gripper, a welding torch or a vacuum cup, works inside a guarded or sensor-protected cell, and is linked to conveyors, fixtures and other machines. It repeats a taught motion closely, cycle after cycle, so plants use it for welding, loading and unloading, palletising, packing and assembly.
Robot arms and robotic cells for commercial and industrial use are covered here; toy, hobby, educational, household and service robots are not.
How diipl verifies industrial robot manufacturers
diipl checks every industrial robot manufacturer before a buyer meets them. Every seller is GSTIN verified and capacity audited. IEC and the certifications your product and market need (ISO, CE, REACH, BIS) are confirmed before any meeting; Certificate of Origin and EIC inspection are arranged per shipment where required.
For industrial robots, the capacity audit also covers:
- A finished robot run on a test stand through the full range of every axis at its rated load, with repeatability measured and the record kept against that serial number
- Machining and assembly of the arm links, base and wrist, and incoming inspection of the gear reducers, bearings and servo motors bought in for each axis
- Controller and drive assembly, with the emergency stop circuit, the enabling device on the pendant and the brake release tested on a working unit
- The teach pendant or offline software used to program a new path, store it, recall it and run it, so the method the buyer will use is seen working
- A gripper or torch fitted and run in a real pick, weld or stack cycle, and the guarding, interlocks and light curtains of a built cell checked on the floor
We match your requirement to a manufacturer that has passed these checks and arrange a direct meeting.
Types of industrial robots we cover
Indian industrial robot manufacturers on the diipl bench build these commercial and industrial types.
| Type | Typical buyers |
|---|---|
| Articulated robot arm | Fabrication shops, auto component plants, foundries, forges and packing plants |
| SCARA robot | Electronics and small-parts assembly plants, and packing lines |
| Delta robot | Packing, sorting and light assembly lines, including washdown areas |
| Collaborative robot (cobot) | Plants that want an arm working beside operators on light handling and palletising |
| Palletising robot | Plants that stack bags, cartons and crates at the end of a packing line |
| Robotic arc welding cell | Fabrication shops and plants that weld repeat parts in batches |
Articulated robot arm
The arm has at least three rotary joints and moves much like a human arm, so it can reach a part from many angles. It is the usual choice for welding, handling, palletising and painting. Models handle light to heavy loads, and one heavy example in the cited industry chapter carries 1,200 kg. Choose it when the tool must turn and tilt around the part. It is reprogrammed on its own controller and taught with a pendant.
SCARA robot
A SCARA robot has two parallel rotary joints, so it is stiff up and down but gives a little in the horizontal plane. That suits fast, light assembly and packing. One maker's range offers reach from 175 mm to 1,000 mm and payload up to 50 kg, with cycle times as short as 0.28 second. Choose it where an articulated arm would be larger than the job needs.
Delta robot
A delta robot is a parallel robot: its arms join at one tool point, which makes it very fast at picking and placing light items. One maker's range offers payload from 1 kg to 8 kg, up to 200 cycles a minute, working range from 500 mm to 1,600 mm, and protection up to IP69K for washdown areas. Choose it for high-speed packing and sorting. It is not meant for heavy loads.
Collaborative robot (cobot)
A collaborative robot is an arm designed to share space with people under a method set out in ISO/TS 15066: it stops when someone enters, follows hand guiding, slows as a person nears, or limits its own power and force. One maker's heavier collaborative range offers payload from 8 kg to 30 kg, reach up to 1,750 mm and protection class IP65. Choose it for light handling and palletising near people. It trades speed and payload for that closeness.
Palletising robot
A palletising robot stacks cartons, bags or crates on pallets at the end of a packing line. Some heavy-duty palletising arms have four axes, which keeps the arm light and fast. One maker's family carries 110 kg to 450 kg with reach of 2,400 mm to 3,180 mm, and one model is rated at 2,190 cycles an hour with a 60 kg load. Makers also supply palletising software for the arm.
Robotic arc welding cell
A robotic welding cell groups a robot arm, a welding power source, wire feeder and torch, a positioner that turns the part, and fixtures, which can be delivered pre-assembled on a common base. One published cell pairs a six-axis arm of 12 kg payload with a positioner rated at 185 kg and powered roll-up doors interlocked with the robot. Choose it for repeat welding of the same part in batches.
What to specify when buying an industrial robot
A clear industrial robot specification gets you comparable offers and a faster meeting. Share these points with diipl and we match them to the right manufacturer.
| What to specify | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Robot type and number of axes | An industrial robot is programmable in three or more axes, and arms are sorted by structure, for example articulated, SCARA, parallel (delta) or linear. The type sets reach, speed and which jobs the arm suits. |
| Rated payload at the wrist, with the gripper or torch counted in | Payload decides the size of the arm. One maker's heavier collaborative range runs from 8 kg to 30 kg. Ask for the rating with your tooling and part included. |
| Reach and working envelope | Reach is how far the tool can stretch. One SCARA family covers 175 mm to 1,000 mm. Ask for the working envelope drawing and check every pick, place or weld point against it. |
| Repeatability | Repeatability is how closely the arm returns to a taught point. One maker rates collaborative arms of 3 kg to 16 kg payload at plus or minus 0.03 mm to 0.05 mm. Ask what the figure includes. |
| Test method behind the performance figures | ISO 9283 sets performance criteria and related test methods for manipulating industrial robots and was last confirmed in 2021. Ask whether accuracy, repeatability and speed figures follow a recognised method, and ask for the record. |
| Cycle time at your real move and load | Cycle figures are quoted for a set move and a light test load. One delta range quotes up to 200 cycles a minute at 0.1 kg, and heavier models are rated lower. Give the maker your real move and load. |
| Protection class and ambient conditions | Washdown, dust and heat decide the build. One delta range is offered at IP65, IP67 and IP69K and lists a highest operating ambient temperature of 45 degrees Celsius. Match the class to your floor. |
| Mounting and base drawing | One delta maker's base drawing marks which areas of the base can carry the mounting and asks the buyer to keep other areas clear for wiring. Ask for the mounting drawing early. |
| Controller, teach pendant and input and output | A robot system is the arm, controller, teach pendant and end-effector. Most are programmed with the pendant in manual mode, some off-line at a remote station. Ask what inputs and outputs the controller offers for your conveyor and sensors. |
| End-of-arm tooling | Grippers, welding torches and cameras are end-effectors. One palletising cell lists handling of bags, boxes, bundles, cases, cans, pails, drums, trays and totes with several grippers. Name your product and gripper type in the order. |
| Safeguarding of the cell | Fixed or interlocked guards, presence-sensing devices such as light curtains and safety scanners, and limiting devices are common ways to protect people around a robot. Ask who designs the safeguarding and whether a risk assessment is done before commissioning. |
| Collaborative method, if people work beside the arm | Collaboration is a property of the whole application. The four methods are safety-rated monitored stop, hand guiding, speed and separation monitoring, and power and force limiting. The last restricts payload and speed, so check that it still meets your cycle. |
| Site electricity and compressed air, in words | Write your supply voltage, phases and frequency out in words for the maker, so the controller, drives and any positioner match your site. Ask for the power and compressed air needs of the full cell, tooling included. |
| Documents that travel with the robot | ISO 10218-1 treats an industrial robot as partly completed machinery, which in the European Union comes with assembly instructions and a declaration of incorporation. Ask the maker which documents your buyer or integrator will need. |

HSN code and ITC-HS code for industrial robots
The code for industrial robots depends on the job the robot is built and configured for, which is loading, unloading and palletising work or many different jobs by changing its tools, and whether it is sold as part of a complete robotic arc welding cell. Choose the line that matches your machine:
- 84287000 (industrial robots) when the robot is configured and sold only for loading, unloading or palletising work.
- 84795000 (industrial robots, not elsewhere specified or included) when the robot is a general purpose arm that does many jobs by changing its tools and has no fixed job.
- 85153100 (fully or partly automatic) when the robot is sold as a complete robotic arc welding cell with its welding power source, wire feeder, torch and positioner.
- 84289090 (other, within subheading 842890: lifting, handling, loading or unloading machinery; n.e.c. in heading no. 8425, 8426, 8427 or 8428) when the palletising machine is a complete system with its own conveyors and handling units and not a robot alone.
The Indian tariff has two industrial robot lines, one under lifting and handling machinery and one for industrial robots not named elsewhere. Rulings abroad send a robot configured only for loading, unloading or palletising to the handling heading, and a general purpose arm that does many jobs by changing its tools to the not elsewhere specified line. A robot cell presented together with its welding power source, wire feeder, torch and positioner works as one welding function and is classified as an arc welding machine under the section note on functional units. A robot arm built for welding but sold without that equipment is not settled, because rulings abroad differ. A complete palletising system with conveyors and handling units is other handling machinery rather than a robot. No official ruling found names SCARA, delta or collaborative robots, which follow their configured job.
In India the GST HSN code and the export ITC-HS code come from the same nomenclature. A GST invoice needs only the first 4 or 6 digits, depending on your turnover; the export shipping bill carries the full 8-digit ITC-HS line. The classification is shown here; the applicable GST rate is not. Official source.
A classification is a fact any lookup can give you. The correct code still does not tell you which countries are buying industrial robots right now, what duty each of them charges on the Indian line, or whether that demand is growing or fading. Those answers come from trade data, not from a code table, and they decide whether a market is worth entering. diipl's free Market Research Report answers them for your machine.

Buying an industrial robot in India
- The GST invoice should list the arm, controller, teach pendant, cables, tooling and any positioner as separate lines, so that what arrives can be checked against what was ordered.
- Request a layout and cycle simulation before you order. It shows whether the arm reaches every point and meets your cycle time with your real part and gripper.
- Prepare the base, frame or foundation to the maker's drawing, and plan power, compressed air and safeguarding before the delivery date.
- Agree commissioning in writing: the robot runs your part through your cycle for a stated period, and the maker trains your programmers and maintenance staff on site.
- Settle who is responsible for the risk assessment and safeguarding of the finished cell. Some robot makers also act as integrator, so put that duty in the contract.
- Ask for the recommended spares list, the service response time and how remote diagnosis of the controller works, and keep program backups on your own storage.
Buying from Indian industrial robot exporters
- In the European Union a robot arm sold alone is usually treated as partly completed machinery, so it should arrive with assembly instructions and a declaration of incorporation. The finished cell needs its own conformity work, usually by whoever integrates it.
- Ask which edition of the international robot safety standards the design follows, one part for the robot and one for cells and applications, and ask for the risk assessment record when the robot is sold with a cell.
- If the cell uses light curtains, area scanners or a safety controller, ask how each was certified, because the European machinery rules put protective devices that detect people and logic units for safety functions on their higher-risk list.
- In North America, OSHA has no robot-specific standard, and its technical manual points to the industry robot safety standard. Ask the buyer's safety team which edition applies and have the maker mark up any differences.
- Put the destination's supply voltage, phases and frequency on the order in words, ask for the controller to be built for it, and have plug types and cable lengths listed.
- Agree the Incoterm and the packing, including how the arm is held for transport and how the controller and pendant are packed. Ask for a Certificate of Origin if needed, manuals in the buyer's language, and a plan for spares and remote support.
Standards and certifications for industrial robots
Industrial Robots for each market must meet that market's rules. diipl confirms the certifications your market needs before any meeting. Each requirement below links to its official source.
| Indian standard or rule | What it covers | Official source |
|---|---|---|
| IS/ISO 10218-1:2025Robotics safety requirements: Part 1 Industrial robots | Identical to ISO 10218-1:2025 under single numbering, and listed by BIS as superseding IS 14530 (Part 1):2019. Part 1 deals with the robot itself; the finished cell is a separate matter. Ask the maker which edition its design follows. | View source |
| Export requirement | Region | What it means | Official source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Partly completed machinery route for a robot arm | European Union | The Machinery Regulation covers partly completed machinery, which must meet the relevant essential requirements and have assembly instructions, and its annexes include an EU declaration of incorporation. It applies from 20 January 2027, so ask which rules apply on the supply date. ISO 10218-1 treats the robot as partly completed machinery, so an arm sold alone usually falls here. The finished cell needs its own conformity work. | View source |
| Annex I check for the safety devices in a robot cell | European Union | Annex I of the Regulation does not name industrial robots. Its Part B names protective devices designed to detect the presence of persons and logic units to ensure safety functions. Ask the maker whether the light curtains, scanners and safety controller in the cell fall under these items and which procedure they followed. | View source |
| ANSI/RIA R15.06 robot safety standard | North America | OSHA's technical manual names ANSI/RIA R15.06-2012 as the safety standard for robots, with Part 1 for the robot and Part 2 for systems and applications. Part 1 asks that safe operating and maintenance information come with the robot. Ask the buyer which edition it uses. | View source |

Industrial Robot: frequently asked questions
Who makes industrial robots in India?
diipl keeps maker names off its pages. Describe the job: the application, payload, reach, and whether you need a bare arm or a full cell, and diipl proposes a maker whose registration and factory capacity have both been checked. For a robot, the audit includes a loaded test-stand run with repeatability measured and a look at how arms, reducers and controllers are made or bought in. The Importer Exporter Code and the paperwork your market needs are checked as well, and then the meeting is set up.
Which payload, reach and repeatability should I ask for?
Start from the heaviest thing the arm must lift, with the gripper or torch counted in, then check the farthest point it must reach against the working envelope drawing. Repeatability matters most for assembly: one maker rates its collaborative arms of 3 kg to 16 kg payload at plus or minus 0.03 mm to 0.05 mm. Ask each maker for a cycle simulation with your real part before you compare offers.
Which standards or certifications apply to industrial robots?
In India, BIS lists IS/ISO 10218-1:2025, identical to ISO 10218-1:2025, for the safety of the robot itself; it supersedes IS 14530 (Part 1):2019. ISO 10218-2:2025 covers robot applications and robot cells, and ISO/TS 15066 supplements both for collaborative use. ISO 9283 covers performance test methods. Buyers abroad ask for their own conformity papers, as the export notes on this page explain.
What is the HSN code for industrial robots?
The code for industrial robots depends on the job the robot is built and configured for, which is loading, unloading and palletising work or many different jobs by changing its tools, and whether it is sold as part of a complete robotic arc welding cell: 84287000 when the robot is configured and sold only for loading, unloading or palletising work; 84795000 when the robot is a general purpose arm that does many jobs by changing its tools and has no fixed job; 85153100 when the robot is sold as a complete robotic arc welding cell with its welding power source, wire feeder, torch and positioner; 84289090 when the palletising machine is a complete system with its own conveyors and handling units and not a robot alone. The Indian tariff has two industrial robot lines, one under lifting and handling machinery and one for industrial robots not named elsewhere. Rulings abroad send a robot configured only for loading, unloading or palletising to the handling heading, and a general purpose arm that does many jobs by changing its tools to the not elsewhere specified line. A robot cell presented together with its welding power source, wire feeder, torch and positioner works as one welding function and is classified as an arc welding machine under the section note on functional units. A robot arm built for welding but sold without that equipment is not settled, because rulings abroad differ. A complete palletising system with conveyors and handling units is other handling machinery rather than a robot. No official ruling found names SCARA, delta or collaborative robots, which follow their configured job. The export shipping bill carries the full 8-digit line and a GST invoice its first 4 or 6 digits, depending on your turnover, so confirm the line for your exact machine before you file. The HS code finder lists every 8-digit line.
Can Indian manufacturers export industrial robots?
An Indian maker can sell robots abroad when the robot arrives with what an importer needs. In the European Union that means assembly instructions and a declaration of incorporation for the arm, and conformity work for any finished cell. Buyers in North America look to the industry robot safety standard. A spares plan and remote support matter too, because an idle robot stops a line. The maker's export registration and paperwork are checked by diipl before an overseas buyer is introduced.
Which industries buy industrial robots?
By task, OSHA lists materials handling, assembly, arc and resistance welding, machine tool loading and unloading, painting, inspection and packaging. In practice that means auto component and fabrication plants for welding and handling, electronics plants for assembly, packing lines for palletising and pick and place, and foundries, forges and moulding units for handling castings, forgings and moulded parts.
I manufacture industrial robots. How do I find verified buyers?
diipl first splits the market by application, because a welding cell for a fabrication shop, a palletiser for a packing plant and a collaborative arm for an assembly bench are different sales, often made through system integrators who build the cell. It then reaches the right plants and integrators and screens each buyer for a real need, a decision maker, a budget and a date before setting up a meeting with you. Your company stays unnamed on the site until you choose to meet.
Do I need a safety fence around a collaborative robot?
Not always, but never assume. ISO/TS 15066 covers collaborative robot systems and the work environment, so the whole application is judged, not the arm alone. The four methods are safety-rated monitored stop, hand guiding, speed and separation monitoring, and power and force limiting, and the last restricts payload and speed. A non-collaborative application, such as an arc welding cell, uses fixed or interlocked guards, light curtains or scanners.
What is the difference between articulated, SCARA and delta robots?
An articulated robot has at least three rotary joints and reaches around a part like an arm. A SCARA robot has two parallel rotary joints, so it is stiff vertically and gives horizontally, which suits assembly. A delta robot is a parallel robot whose arms meet at one tool point and is built for fast pick and place of light items. Collaborative is a way of working, not a fourth arm type.
Should I buy a bare robot arm or a complete robotic cell?
A bare arm is the robot, controller, pendant and cables; you add the gripper or torch, fixtures, guarding and the program. A cell adds those and can come pre-assembled. ISO 10218-1 covers the robot and ISO 10218-2 covers applications and cells, and OSHA's technical manual puts the duty to complete a risk assessment before commissioning on the integrator. Some robot makers act as integrator, so ask who takes that role.
What maintenance and training does an industrial robot need?
OSHA's technical manual points to a maintenance plan that names the critical components and how often they are inspected and tested, with safeguards kept in place, and to training on the hazards for workers, including people who do not run the robot. Ask the maker for the inspection schedule, the wear parts list and a training plan for programmers and maintenance staff.
