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 | LBR iiwa 7 R800 CR | UR10e |
|---|---|---|
| Investment | $62,000 | $46,153 |
| Payback period | 14.9 mo | 11.1 mo |
| Net savings (5 yr) | $188,000 | $203,847 |
| ROI (5 yr) | +303% | +442% |
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.
