The following fields had no data for any of the selected robots: Battery / Shift Runtime, Max TCP Speed, IP Rating (Wrist), Cycle Time (25/305/25), Vibration Damping, Safety Category, E-Stop Response, Safe Zone Count, Communication Protocols, ROS-Industrial Support, Cybersecurity Certs, Tool Changer (ISO), Electrical Lines, Spare Parts Lead Time, Expected Service Life
ROI Comparison
Same operating assumptions across every robot — the only difference is price. Set your numbers once to see which pays back fastest.
Annual labor displaced (per robot): $50,000
| Metric | ABB IRB 120 FlexMove | Group 75 |
|---|---|---|
| Investment | $65,000 | $20,982 |
| Payback period | 15.6 mo | 5.0 mo |
| Net savings (5 yr) | $185,000 | $229,018 |
| ROI (5 yr) | +285% | +1091% |
Estimates labor-cost displacement only — not a full total cost of ownership. Actual ROI depends on integration, maintenance, training, downtime, and task fit. Converted currencies are indicative; USD is the price of record.
