Compatible with existing welding power sources (Kemppi, EWM, Fronius) or smart welding sources. Teaches welding operation in 10 minutes. Designed for welding operations in metalworking and manufacturing.
• Moico Injection Molding Cell Collaborative robot cell for injection molding applications using UR10e cobot with Pickit3D 3D camera and OnRobot RG2 gripper. Performs part extraction, quality control, and bin packing into KLT, EcoPack, or custom containers without calibration. Movable between injection molding machines; deployed in automotive plastics operations.
• Spray Coating / Painting (Mimic) Collaborative robot painting system using Nordbo Mimic handguiding technology. Operator teaches the robot movements directly; Mimic records spray path and paint dosing simultaneously. Trajectories can be refined by adjusting speed, tool orientation, and path in post-processing. Designed for painting and coating operations in manufacturing.
• Dispensing / Adhesive Application Collaborative robot dispensing of sealants, silicones, butyl rubber, adhesives, and insulation materials. Ranges from micro-dosing to barrel-based application with plug-and-play setup. Designed for manufacturing sealing and bonding applications.
• Sorting (Modsort) Automated product sorting using the Modsort modular conveyor system. Products move in two axes simultaneously, sorting up to 2,500 units/hour. Each module has four sensors and autonomous PLC control. Integrates with vision systems (cameras, profileometers, scanners, scales) for product identification. Designed for logistics sorting and warehouse automation.
• CNC Machine Tending Collaborative robot tending for CNC lathes and machining centers. Automated loading/unloading, deburring, part ejection, and quality checking. Supports force-sensor-guided part handling, SMED gripper changes, and bidirectional PLC communication. Connects cobots to most CNC machine brands via Flexxbotics. Used for production automation in machining and metalworking.
• FlashBot Plasma Cutting Retrofit kit converting Universal Robots cobots into plasma cutting centers with 0.01 mm laser detection and Stingray THC. Produces precise 3D shapes and clean edges without rework. Designed for metalworking and fabrication operations.
• Packaging Line Cell End-of-line packaging cell on Universal Robots cobots covering box forming and gluing, product inspection, insertion into box, box closing, and palletizing — all modularly connected. Designed for end-of-line packaging automation in manufacturing and logistics operations.
• CNC Machining Services In-house CNC machining services using 10 CNC machines (milling and turning). Produces precision components for European partners with certified quality control using a WENZEL 3D coordinate measuring machine.
• Integration and Technical Support Full deployment, integration, remote diagnostics, preventive maintenance, spare parts supply, and telephone support for cobot systems across Slovakia and part of the Czech Republic.

Scale indicators10 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• FANUC: Japanese global industrial robot and CNC manufacturer with collaborative robot products. Comparable as a broad incumbent competing for CNC tending, palletizing, and welding automation budgets at large automotive and industrial customers.
• Universal Robots: Danish cobot OEM and the platform on which Stimba's entire solution stack is built. Comparable because it defines the cobot category Stimba integrates, and its go-to-market decisions directly shape Stimba's economics and channel access.
• KUKA: German global robotics OEM offering industrial and collaborative robots plus systems integration. Comparable as a broad incumbent competing for the same end-of-line, welding, and CNC-tending budgets that Stimba targets, particularly with automotive customers.
• ABB Robotics: Swiss-Swedish global robotics and automation supplier with a broad cobot and industrial robot portfolio. Comparable as a large incumbent with deeper R&D and global service reach pursuing the same palletizing, machine tending, and welding use cases.

Direct peers

• Nordbo Robotics: Danish developer of Mimic hand-guiding and active force-compensation technology for robotic grinding, polishing, and deburring. Comparable because Stimba distributes/integrates Nordbo in Slovakia and offers overlapping finishing and palletizing solutions.
• HAHN Automation Group: German-based automation systems integrator serving automotive, medical, and consumer goods with robotic and cobot cells. Comparable as a European competitor delivering custom robotic integration at greater scale and broader geographic reach than Stimba.
• RobCo: Slovenian cobot-based systems integrator focused on warehouse and palletizing automation for CEE manufacturers. Comparable as a regional cobot integrator competing for similar end customers in overlapping geographies.

Emerging players

• Doosan Robotics: South Korean cobot manufacturer challenging UR in palletizing and machine tending. Comparable because Doosan's pricing and direct-sales push could erode UR integrator economics and put pressure on Stimba's cobot hardware sourcing strategy.
• Techman Robot: Taiwanese cobot OEM with integrated vision and growing European distribution. Comparable as an alternative cobot platform whose adoption by integrators could shift Stimba's single-vendor (UR) exposure.

Others

• OnRobot: Danish plug-and-play end-effector and gripper manufacturer that is both a Stimba partner and a competitor in adjacent gripper/integration offerings. Comparable because it sells into the same cobot integrator channel and overlaps with Stimba's custom gripper work.
