"List prices for FANUC’s most common robots vary from $25,000 for the simplest, least expensive M1iA, 4 axis “spider” robot with .5kg capacity to the M2000/1200 6 axis robot with 1200kg capacity topping out at over $400,000 list price." Here's quite a funky one on ebay https://www.ebay.com/itm/Fanuc-R-2000iB-210F-Robotic-w-Servo-Spot-Welding-w-RJ3iC-Controller/132102426354?hash=item1ec1eb0ef2:g:NywAAOSw~AVYqx33 https://www.ebay.com/itm/Fanuc-R-2000iB-210F-Robotic-w-Servo...

The robots often are sold as a lease or payment plan, so typically the big robot vendors try to win big accounts where they will outfit many things and essentially they pay a monthly fee that includes access to have the robot vendor come out and tune things up for you.

    This isn't exactly new, Unimation was already selling a bunch of robots to the auto industry in the 1960s.

a fairly standard industrial welding cell like a Panasonic 750 is between $85 to 125 thousand dollars per unit, which includes robot arm, welding power supply, turntable, chassis that is it mounted to, and the transformer to power it. Requires 240V 3ph 60A service. http://www.insrobotics.com/panasonic-robotic-parts-repair/Panasonic-robot-new-used-sales.cfm http://www.insrobotics.com/panasonic-robotic-parts-repair/Pa... Source: I own two. They kick ass, and make more stuff that you would believe is possible in a day.
