SIASUN HC-X3-B (HC-X3-B)

Most collaborative arms spend their working lives bolted to a bench, waiting for parts, trays and inspection jobs to be brought to them. The SIASUN HC-X3-B (HC-X3-B) turns that arrangement around. It places a collaborative arm on a self-developed mobile platform, so the robot travels to the work and does not depend on conveyors and operators to bring it in. For a production hall where tasks shift from station to station during a shift, that difference changes how automation is planned, from a fixed cell to a resource that moves.

Robots Europa, based in Dublin, supplies the SIASUN HC-X3-B to customers throughout the European Union and the DACH region. Robots Europa prepares the quotation, arranges delivery to your site and remains your point of contact for support once the robot is in service.

Background

SIASUN DUCO and its lineage

The HC-X3-B comes from SIASUN DUCO, the sub-brand of SIASUN that concentrates on intelligent robotics. All of the core components in its range are developed in-house, and the brand has broken foreign technology monopolies in several fields. For a buyer, the practical consequence of that approach is that the mobile platform and the collaborative arm are designed by the same manufacturer, so they are not two products from separate suppliers joined together at integration.

One machine, one interface

The central idea of the HC-X3-B is integration. The mobile platform and the collaborative robot form a single system, and the tooling is designed around it as well: the robot can be fitted with SIASUN DUCO's own vision systems, grippers and other execution units. The integrated teaching pendant follows the same principle. One screen handles visual interaction and debugging for both the platform and the arm, allowing faster deployment. Engineers therefore learn and maintain one interface instead of two separate ones.

Technical Specifications

Specifications are given as published by the manufacturer and are confirmed against the datasheet at quotation.

The manufacturer has not published the cobot arm payload, the total weight with a specific arm, the IP rating, the battery capacity, the running time, the charging time or the movement speed for this model; Robots Europa confirms these with the quotation.

What makes the HC-X3-B different from a fixed cobot cell?

A stationary cobot cell works well when the task stays in one place. Its limits show when work is spread across a site, for example when parts must be collected from a store, delivered line-side and then checked at a separate station. In that situation a fixed arm needs conveyors, carts or people to bridge the gaps. The HC-X3-B bridges them itself. Its platform carries a load of up to 350kg Max, and the overall accuracy of the combined system is ±0.3mm. That figure describes the robot after it has driven to a station, not only an arm working from a fixed base.

Navigation is the second distinguishing point. The HC-X3-B combines SLAM with QR code navigation. SLAM lets a mobile robot build and use a map of its surroundings, while QR code markers give fixed reference points where precise positioning matters. Using both gives a planner flexibility across open floor areas and precision at docking points. At 950*600*700mm, the vehicle footprint is the figure to check against aisle widths and station layouts during site planning.

Safety is designed for shared spaces. The HC-X3-B has ground and airspace safety with real-time protection, which means the robot monitors both the floor it travels on and the space in which the arm moves. This is the basis on which it is offered for human-robot collaboration and not only for fenced-off areas.

How does the HC-X3-B stay in operation?

A mobile robot is only useful while it has charge, and the HC-X3-B offers three charging methods: contact-based, wireless and automatic. These support short-term operation, real-time operation and 24/7 operation. In practice, a site can choose a charging strategy to suit its shift pattern. The robot can top up at a contact station between tasks, charge wirelessly at a work position, or return to charge automatically without an operator stepping in. Robots Europa works out the charging plan for your duty cycle together with you.

Who is the HC-X3-B for?

The HC-X3-B is aimed at manufacturers and operators whose processes do not fit into a single cell. Electronics and component assemblers moving work between stations, production engineers looking to automate line-side delivery together with a handling or assembly step, and quality teams who want inspection to travel to the part are typical buyers. Facilities planning around-the-clock operation will value the automatic charging options, and integrators will appreciate a single teaching pendant for both platform and arm.

The HC-X3-B belongs to a family of SIASUN DUCO mobile collaborative robots. Buyers comparing configurations should also review the SIASUN HC-X2-B (HC-X2-B), the SIASUN HC-X4-B (HC-X4-B) and the SIASUN HC-X6-B (HC-X6-B), and discuss with Robots Europa which version fits the load and layout of their site. Those who need a stationary arm may find a better match in our Robot Arms category, and the wider range is listed under Industrial Robots.

What is the HC-X3-B used for?

1. Material handling: moving parts, trays and containers between storage, machines and workstations.
2. Line-side delivery: bringing components to the point of use and placing them with the arm, not merely transporting them.
3. Assembly: carrying out assembly steps at whichever station needs them, with grippers selected for the task.
4. Inspection: taking a vision system to the part and checking it where it sits.
5. Precision processing: performing fine processing tasks at multiple locations on the strength of the system's overall accuracy.
6. Continuous operation: sustaining work across shifts with contact-based, wireless or automatic charging.

Pricing and Availability

The cost of a mobile collaborative robot depends on its configuration, including the arm, the end effectors, the vision equipment and the charging infrastructure. For that reason, Robots Europa prepares each offer as an individual quotation. Delivery, customs and support are arranged with the quotation, so you receive one complete proposal for your site. To start, send us a short description of your application, the loads involved and your floor layout using the quotation request available on this page.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the SIASUN HC-X3-B?

It is a mobile collaborative robot from SIASUN DUCO that combines a self-developed mobile platform with a collaborative robot arm. It is designed for material handling, assembly, inspection and precision processing.

How much can the platform carry?

The platform load of the HC-X3-B is 350kg Max. For the arm itself, see the note beneath the specification table.

How does the robot navigate?

It uses SLAM together with QR code navigation. This allows it to move through mapped areas and to position itself precisely at marked points.

Can it work alongside people?

The HC-X3-B has ground and airspace safety with real-time protection, enabling safe human-robot collaboration. Risk assessment for your specific installation remains part of the deployment.

How is the robot charged?

Contact-based, wireless and automatic charging are all supported, covering short-term, real-time and 24/7 operation.

Is it difficult to programme?

The integrated teaching pendant provides one screen for visual interaction and debugging of both the mobile platform and the arm. This allows faster deployment.

Where can I buy the SIASUN HC-X3-B and what does it cost?

You can buy it from Robots Europa, which supplies customers across the EU and the DACH region. The price depends on the configuration and is provided in an individual quotation, which you can request on this page.

Summary

The SIASUN HC-X3-B is built on a simple shift in thinking: instead of arranging the factory around a stationary arm, the arm goes to wherever the work is. A platform rated at 350kg Max, an overall accuracy of ±0.3mm, SLAM and QR code navigation, real-time ground and airspace protection and three charging methods together make it a strong candidate for operations spread across several stations. Robots Europa works through the arm, the tooling and the charging set-up with you in the quotation. If you want automation that follows your process across the floor, this page is the starting point.
