ElephMax 6 Axis Robotic Arm Types
Built around a KUKA KR210, this system travels 6m along a ground rail for large foam molds and oversized 3D workpieces that exceed a fixed robot’s reach.
Import a 3D model, generate the machining program offline, and send it to the six-axis KR210 for processing—without programming every toolpath manually.
ElephMax 6 Axis Robotic Arm Features
The maximum reach ranges from 2.5 to 3.9 meters, with a spherical working envelope that enables it to move freely around and above an entire large raw stone block.
Can coordinate the seventh axis (linear ground slide rail) and the eighth axis (high-precision CNC rotating platform), enabling the processing of giant stone sculptures.
The overall protection level of robots can reach IP67, and the end of the wrist can reach IP69K.
Employ a special anti-corrosion and wear-resistant industrial coating, preventing stone dust from entering the reducer and encoder.
Undercut & Complex Geometry Processing Capability
ElephMax 6 axis robotic arm has high flexibility across six degrees of freedom. The tool can cut into stone from a fully vertical side, at an inclined angle, or even from a reversed bottom angle.
When carving full three-dimensional Buddha statues, European-style Roman columns, or intricate hollowed-out relief sculptures, the robotic arm 6 axis achieves complete coverage with no processing blind spots.

ElephMax 6 Axis Robotic Arm Applications
ElephMax 6 axis robotic arm can bend its wrist and perform cutting operations from the bottom, the side, the inclined dead space, or inside the hollow area. So it achieves 360-degree coverage, suitable for the restoration of 3D stone statues.
ElephMax 6 axis robotic arm can complete the transition between the saw blade and the water jet in just 0.5 seconds. Therefore, you do not need to manually move the stone slab repeatedly when processing stone countertops.
ElephMax 6 axis robotic arm is equipped with a torque sensor. It provides real-time force control. When dealing with 3D relief surfaces, the arm can adjust the joint output to ensure that the polishing disc adheres to the stone surface with constant contact force.

6 Axis Robotic Arm VS Traditional CNC Router
Compared with traditional CNC routers, the 6 axis robotic arm has much higher flexibility. It can be made from multiple angles and has high automation. Therefore, the 6 axis robotic arm is much more suitable for dealing with complex stone fabrication and high-mix production environments.
For more differences, you can check the chart below:

How To Choose The Right 6 Axis Robotic Arm: The Selection Guide
| Type | Key Advantages | Best For |
| Fixed-Base 6 Axis Robotic Arm | Compact footprint, high rigidity, easy installation, ideal for medium-sized workpieces | Standard stone processing cells |
| Rail-Mounted 6 Axis Robotic Arm | Extended travel range, covers multiple workstations, higher productivity | Large slabs & long workpieces |
| Gantry-Mounted 6 Axis Robotic Arm | Large working envelope, excellent stability, supports heavy payloads | Heavy-duty & oversized stone machining |
No, industrial stone processing requires the construction of large and heavy systems, while the open source six-axis robotic arm cannot meet the requirements.
It’s important to understand that the open source 6 axis robotic arm is different from an industrial one (what ElephMax provides). It cannot deal with industrial stone cutting, milling, and polishing. Its advantage lies in small-scale automation, CNC machine operation, and STEM education.
In comparison, the degree of freedom of a 6 axis robotic arm is higher than that of a 5 axis one. A 5 axis robot arm cannot make the tool rotate around its own axis, while our 6 axis robotic arms enable the end tool to rotate freely in a 360° circle.
This depends on the complexity of your stone process. For standard-size stones, the 6 axis robotic arm is enough. If you want to deal with large building columns, long tabletops, or giant 3D sculptures, then the 7 axis robotic arm can be better.
Usually, the 7 axis robotic arm is formed by installing a six-axis robotic arm on a linear track. The track acts as the seventh linear axis.
If you have such a requirement, we can customize a solution for you.
Many factors can affect the 6 axis robotic arm price, including the payload capacity, maximum reach, repeatability, accuracy, IP rating, and some system integration, such as End-of-Arm Tooling (EOAT) (CNC milling spindle, laser cutting head, automatic tool changer, etc.), vision, sensors, integration & programming labor, and safety protection facilities.
