Robotiq is a Quebec-based maker of cobot peripherals — grippers, force-torque sensors, vision systems and, increasingly, complete palletizing cells. It does not build robot arms. Instead it builds the parts that turn someone else's arm, usually a Universal Robots cobot, into a working machine.
That makes Robotiq pricing unusually hard to pin down. The company sells through distributors, and its own website answers "how much?" with a quote form. Every product page we checked on robotiq.com ends in a request-a-quote button, not a number. So the figures below come from distributor catalogs that publish live prices — and we opened each page to confirm the number rather than trusting a search snippet.
Robotiq palletizing solution prices 2026
Robotiq's palletizing line is its highest-ticket product. The PE series uses a manually adjustable pedestal — cheaper, best when box sizes and pallet heights rarely change. The AX series adds a powered vertical seventh axis for more reach and faster cycles.
These are the PE-series prices listed by Automation Distribution, a US Robotiq distributor, as of July 2026:
| Configuration | Part number | Listed price |
|---|---|---|
| PE20 palletizing solution for UR20, no gripper | SOL-PAL-UR-PE20 | $49,429.69 |
| PE series with vacuum gripper | — | $57,712.50 |
| PE series with POWERPICK multi vacuum gripper kit | — | $59,493.75 |
The base SKU explicitly states that no gripper is included. It covers the pedestal base, control box, sensors, software license and related components. In other words, the $49,429.69 figure is not a working palletizer — budget roughly $8,000 to $10,000 more for the gripper, which is what the two higher SKUs represent.
On specifications, the PE20 handles up to 18 kg (about 40 lb), stacks to 2,150 mm (84 in), and is rated at 13 picks per minute, according to distributor Electromate's product page.
The AX series is harder to price. Servo Dynamics, a Robotiq distributor, published an estimate of US $170,000 to $185,000 for a fully deployed AX30 solution, and noted the AX30 suits lines averaging around 10 cycles per minute. Treat that number carefully: it is one distributor's estimate for an installed system — arm, integration, commissioning and all — not a list price for hardware. It is not directly comparable to the PE-series hardware prices above.
Robotiq gripper and accessory prices
The 2F-85 adaptive gripper is Robotiq's best-known product. Automation Distribution lists it, with cart functionality, at:
| Item | Listed price |
|---|---|
| 2F-85 adaptive gripper (basic unit) | $9,271.41 |
| 2F-85 gripper + FT 300-S force sensor UR kit | $20,047.97 |
| 2F-85 wrist connect kit for UR CB series | $10,482.66 |
| AGC-FIN-KIT-85-V4 finger upgrade kit | $1,905.94 |
| AGC-TIP-205-085 grooved fingertip | $258.28 |
One honest caveat. Secondary sources quote the 2F-85 far lower — figures around $5,800 and even $4,999 circulate widely. We could not confirm either on a live product page, so we are not treating them as fact. What we can say is that the only 2F-85 price we verified on a working catalog page in July 2026 is $9,271.41, and that reseller spreads on cobot accessories are wide enough that a second quote is always worth the phone call.
What the numbers tell a buyer
A cobot palletizer is a $50,000-plus purchase before the arm. The PE20 price does not include the UR20 cobot it mounts to. Add a 20 kg-class cobot and you are comfortably into six figures for a complete cell — which is consistent with the $60,000 to $160,000 range we found for turnkey cobot palletizing packages in our palletizing architecture comparison.
Grippers are not a rounding error. At $9,271 for a two-finger gripper and $20,048 for a gripper-plus-sensor kit, end-of-arm tooling can be 20 to 25 percent of the arm's own cost. Buyers who budget only for the robot consistently under-scope. Our end-effector price guide breaks that down by gripper type.
The quote wall is the real friction. Robotiq is a well-run company with a genuinely strong product line, but like most of the cobot ecosystem it publishes no prices of its own. That is a structural problem for small buyers, and one we wrote about at length in why cobot prices are hidden. The practical workaround is the one we used here: distributor catalogs with live carts are the closest thing to a public list price this market offers.
Where to buy
Robotiq products reach North American buyers through automation distributors rather than direct sales. Automation Distribution and Electromate both carry the line in the US and Canada; Unchained Robotics carries it in Europe, generally in euros ex-VAT. Prices differ meaningfully between them, and configuration options move the number further, so treat any single listing as a starting point.
If you are still deciding on an architecture rather than a vendor, start with our palletizing robot price guide or the palletizing robot category page. If the question is which arm to put underneath, the collaborative robot category is the place to start.
