Can you finance a robot take off?

Yes, robot take offs are financed as a standard asset purchase, usually on hire purchase or a lease, with the machine itself acting as the security. UK prices typically run £8,000 to £120,000, and most deals are written over 12–60 months with a deposit of around 0–15%. Decisions typically take 24–48 hours. Used machines are financeable too, usually with a shorter term.

What buyers actually specify

Guide prices for sizing a finance agreement, not quotes. Manufacturers in this market mostly price on application, so where a current UK list price could not be confirmed the row describes a specification class rather than naming a model. Your supplier quote is what the agreement is written against.

Machine or specification Guide price Type
Pneumatic Sprue-Picker Robot (entry level) £8,000 – £18,000 Sprue Picker
3-Axis Servo Take-Off Robot £18,000 – £55,000 Servo Robot
6-Axis Articulated Robot Cell £55,000 – £120,000 Articulated Robot

Tax benefits

This equipment qualifies for the Annual Investment Allowance, so a purchase or HP agreement can be deducted against taxable profit in the year of purchase. Finance lease payments are typically deductible in full from profit as they are paid, and refinancing an owned asset does not change its capital allowances position.

Market context

Robot take-off systems are bought by moulders removing labour from part extraction, degating or simple downstream assembly, and are usually specified alongside a new press for a job that is either high volume or needs consistent, repeatable handling that a manual operator cannot reliably match cycle after cycle. A pneumatic sprue-picker is typically bought as a direct add-on to a new press order, while a 6-axis articulated robot doing insert placement or assembly is more often justified against a specific, higher-value contract. Replacement or upgrade is usually driven by a new job needing a different reach, payload or degree of freedom than the existing robot offers, rather than the robot wearing out; robot mechanics are durable and well supported by the major automation builders.

Bad credit?

Several of our 200+ lenders specialise in businesses with imperfect credit histories. You may need a larger deposit or personal guarantee, but options exist. Checking your options here does not affect your credit score, because we do not run a credit search to match you. A lender will run their own checks only if you decide to apply.

Frequently asked questions

Is a robot take-off financed with the press or on its own?
Most buyers finance a sprue-picker or 3-axis take-off robot on the same HP or lease agreement as the press it serves, since it is ordered and installed together as one project. A 6-axis articulated robot cell doing more complex handling or assembly work is more often financed separately, particularly when it is being added to an existing press rather than fitted to a new machine order.
Can a robot take-off be moved between presses?
A pneumatic sprue-picker mounted to a specific press is generally not portable between machines without reconfiguration. A freestanding 3-axis or 6-axis robot on its own base is more easily relocated to a different press, which lenders view favourably as it supports the resale value used to underwrite the finance. If flexibility between machines matters to you, mention it when the finance is being arranged so the right type of robot and mounting is specified.
Can I finance a used robot take-off?
Yes. Take-off robots from established automation builders such as Wittmann and Sepro have a reasonable used market, and lenders will typically finance units up to around 10 years old. Servo and articulated robots hold value better than simple pneumatic pickers because they are more versatile across different jobs. Controller compatibility is worth checking before buying used, since an older robot's control system may need updating to interface with a newer press, and this cost is sometimes included in the same finance agreement.
How quickly can robot take-off finance be approved?
Entry-level pneumatic pickers under £20,000 are commonly approved within 24 hours. Servo and 6-axis robot cells, being higher value and often integrated into a wider automation project, typically take 3-5 working days as the lender reviews the specification and how the robot fits with the press. Where the robot is being bought alongside a new press as one automation package, submitting both quotes together rather than separately usually keeps the whole application on one clear timeline.
