HD Hyundai Robotics — the industrial-robot arm of the HD Hyundai group, spun out of the shipbuilding and heavy-industry conglomerate — is a serious mid-tier player in 6-axis arms, but like most industrial-robot brands it publishes almost nothing on price. Manufacturer listings are quote-only. What makes a real price guide possible here is that a US distributor lists specific models with an add-to-cart price, which is rare enough in this category to be worth documenting.
Important caveat up front: the figures below come from a single US distributor (Hillary Machinery, Plano TX) and are for specific configurations. Industrial-arm pricing swings hard on the controller, options, integration and volume, so read these as a real reference point, not a universal list price. We list only numbers shown on a live add-to-cart listing.
Two models with real, published US prices
| Model | Class | Payload | Reach | List price | Distributor price |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hyundai HH7 | Compact 6-axis handling | 7 kg (15.4 lb) | 932 mm (36.7 in) | $39,900 | **$23,900** |
| Hyundai HH020 | Mid-payload 6-axis | 20 kg (44 lb) | 1,742 mm (68.6 in) | $54,900 | **$34,500** |
Both are listed with an add-to-cart option rather than "request a quote," and the HH020 is a build-to-order unit. The gap between list and distributor price (roughly 40% on the HH7, 37% on the HH020) is a reminder that industrial-arm "list" prices are soft — the number you actually pay is closer to the distributor figure.
Where these fit in the range
The HH7 is a small handling arm — 7 kg payload, sub-metre reach — aimed at machine tending, pick-and-place, packaging, dispensing and light assembly. At a distributor price under $24,000 for the arm, it sits in the same bracket as entry Fanuc, Yaskawa Motoman and the Chinese arms (Estun, JAKA) that increasingly compete on price. It is not a cobot: these are traditional caged industrial robots that need guarding and integration, not a collaborative arm you bolt next to a worker.
The HH020 steps up to 20 kg payload and 1.74 m reach, covering heavier material handling, load transfer, welding and additive-manufacturing cells. At ~$34,500 for the arm it competes with the mid-payload workhorses that make up the bulk of factory-floor deployments.
HD Hyundai Robotics' broader catalog runs well beyond these two — the HH-series scales up to high-payload arms, and there are dedicated welding and handling variants — but those are quote-only, so we are not putting numbers on them. If a listing shows "price on request," that is the honest state of the market, not a figure to guess at.
What the arm price leaves out
The single biggest budgeting mistake with industrial robots is treating the arm price as the project price. The robot itself is often 30–50% of a deployed cell. On top of the ~$24k–$35k arm you should budget for:
- Controller and teach pendant (sometimes bundled, sometimes not — confirm on the specific listing).
- End-of-arm tooling — grippers, welding torches, sensors — which can run from a few thousand to more than the arm.
- Safety guarding, fencing and light curtains, mandatory for caged industrial arms.
- Integration and programming, frequently the largest line item on a first deployment.
- Installation, training and spares.
A realistic all-in figure for a first HH7 cell can land at two to three times the arm price once tooling, safety and integration are included. That is not specific to Hyundai — it is true across every industrial-arm brand — but it is the number that actually matters for a purchase decision.
Buying notes
Because manufacturer pricing is quote-only, comparison shopping means getting real distributor quotes on a like-for-like configuration (same payload, reach, controller and tooling) rather than trusting headline arm prices. The distributor prices above are a good anchor for what a Hyundai arm should cost before options.
For how Hyundai's arms sit against the wider field of 6-axis and mid-payload robots, see our industrial robot category, and if a collaborative arm rather than a caged industrial robot is what you actually need, the collaborative robot category covers that side.
_Prices reflect live US distributor listings at the time of writing; industrial-arm pricing is configuration-dependent and quote-driven, so confirm the exact spec before relying on any figure._
