What Robojob does

RoboJob (legal entity RoboJob NV) is a Belgian privately-held company founded in 2007 that develops and manufactures off-the-shelf robotic automation systems for loading and unloading CNC machines. The product portfolio comprises six core series: Turn-Assist (CNC lathes), Mill-Assist (CNC milling machines), Coby CNC (compact collaborative entry-level robot), Pallet-Load (pallet-based loading), Tower (fixture/jaw/collet swapping), and Wall (modular space-efficient system). All systems are built on a CNC-brand-agnostic platform compatible with more than 100 machine brands (Mazak, DMG Mori, Okuma, HAAS, Fanuc, etc.) and are differentiated by an intuitive software interface that allows CNC operators to configure new batches within minutes and to operate the robots with minimal training. Modular add-on components allow customers to tailor systems to specific workpieces and throughput requirements.

The business model is a mix of one-time hardware sales, optional one-time software/module licences, and professional services for installation and training. Pricing is custom-quoted by unit, with multi-year contracts and ex-works delivery; a public ROI calculator and 'Help me choose' tool support mid-market customers. Distribution is direct enterprise field sales with dedicated Sales Managers and Area Sales Managers, complemented by active participation in trade shows such as Techni-Show and a multi-language website (English, German, French, Dutch). The company has established wholly-owned subsidiaries in Germany (RoboJob GmbH, Lehrensteinsfeld, technology centre) and the United States (RoboJob Inc., Indianapolis, sales office) to serve the DACH and North American markets, with more than 2,000 cumulative robot installations worldwide.

RoboJob targets CNC machine shops and contract manufacturers across nine verticals: aerospace, agriculture, defense, machine construction, subcontracting, pharmaceuticals & medical, plastics, and tooling. Its commercial focus is on automating small-to-medium batch production runs to extend spindle hours, enable unattended night/weekend shifts, and mitigate skilled-labour shortages; documented customer outcomes include payback periods of 6-18 months and machine runtime uplifts of roughly 80% (e.g., IGS GeboJagema 40-50 to 80-90 hours per week). The company is founder- and management-led, with no disclosed external funding rounds and no parent company.

Core offering

Robojob designs, manufactures, and sells robotic automation systems that automatically load workpieces, fixtures, and tools into CNC lathes and milling machines, and unload finished parts. Its portfolio spans six product series (Turn-Assist, Mill-Assist, Coby CNC, Pallet-Load, Tower, Wall) supported by an intuitive robot-control software interface, modular add-ons, and installation, training, and support services for manufacturing customers.

Product overview

Robojob is a market leader in CNC automation, offering a platform-plus-modules architecture built around six distinct robot product series. The core products are Turn-Assist (for CNC lathes), Mill-Assist (for CNC milling machines), Coby CNC (compact collaborative robot), Pallet-Load (pallet-based loading), Tower (fast fixture-swapping automation), and Wall (modular space-efficient system). These six product series form the primary portfolio and are designed to be CNC-brand agnostic, operator-friendly, and quickly adjustable, supporting both new and existing CNC machines. Modular add-on components (e.g., vacuum grippers, axis extensions) can be layered onto any system to tailor automation to specific workpiece types.

Direct peers

• BMO Automation: German manufacturer of robot-based CNC machine tending cells (e.g., BMO Compact, BMO Titanium), serving the same European precision machining customer base with comparable turnkey automation solutions.
• Halter CNC Automation: Dutch-headquartered direct competitor offering robotic loading/unloading systems for CNC lathes and milling machines, with a similar target market of small and medium-sized machine shops seeking unattended production.
• Fastems: Finnish provider of flexible robotic automation systems, including CNC machine tending and pallet-based work handling; overlaps with RoboJob's Pallet-Load and Tower product concepts and serves similar metal-cutting customers.
• EROWA: Swiss precision workholding and automation specialist with robotic palletizing and loading systems for CNC machining centers; comparable in modular, brand-agnostic automation of milling workflows.
• System 3R (Sandvik): Sandvik-owned workholding and automation brand offering palletization and robot loading for CNC mills and EDMs; competes in the same modular, fixture-based automation space as RoboJob's Tower and Pallet-Load products.

Broad incumbents

• FANUC: Global industrial robot and CNC manufacturer offering its own machine-tending robots and CRX cobots; competes broadly in the same automation category but as part of a much larger industrial automation portfolio.
• KUKA: Major German industrial robot maker whose cells are used in CNC machine tending applications; broader portfolio (automotive, logistics, healthcare) but with significant overlap in RoboJob's customer workflows.
• DMG Mori: Major CNC machine tool builder now offering integrated automation cells (e.g., Robo2Go) bundled with its machines; potential competitor and partner depending on customer buying behavior.
• Yaskawa: Global supplier of Motoman industrial robots and cobots (HC series) frequently deployed for CNC machine tending; competes indirectly via system integrators who build RoboJob-comparable cells.

Emerging players

• Universal Robots: Danish collaborative robot leader whose UR-series cobots are increasingly deployed in machine tending for SMB shops; competes with RoboJob's Coby CNC product and broader ease-of-use positioning.
