GSK RB08Q1 Robot Load
GSK RB08Q1
Robotic Workstation
High-speed, seamless automation for CNC applications. Keep your spindle running and your operators safe — built for the harsh realities of the shop floor.
Built for the shop floor, not the showroom
Purpose-built for CNC machine tending — engineered for rapid loading and unloading of disk and shaft workpieces.
High-Speed Agility
A lightweight 75 kg (165 lbs) frame engineered for incredibly fast, highly repeatable movements — with ±0.05 mm repeated positioning accuracy.
IP65 Durability
Fully sealed against shop dust and cutting fluids, making it the ideal solution for the most demanding machining environments.
Flexible Mounting
Install directly on the floor, ceiling, or wall to reclaim and maximize every centimeter of available workspace.
Smart Part Loading
A rotary lifting table plus three-point inner/outer positioning lets you make on-the-fly adjustments without ever swapping out parts.
The RB08Q1 interfaces directly with the GT-15 Gang Tool Lathe running GSK controls
Single-Day Setup
Using intuitive teach-in mode, an operator physically guides the RB08Q1 through each pick-and-place position on the GT-15 — the system memorizes the path instantly. Because the robot and the GT-15's GSK control speak the same language, most customers finish integrating both within a single shift.
Engineered to Pair with the GT-15
The RB08Q1 interfaces directly with the GT-15 Gang Tool Lathe running GSK controls. With both engineered around GSK, communication is flawlessly synchronized — no proprietary middleware, no costly lock-in. True single-source responsibility for the entire cell: lathe, control, and loader from one Santa Ana facility.
Runs 24/7, Unattended
IP65 sealing, a rotary lifting table for continuous conveyor integration, and three-point positioning keep the GT-15 spindle running through every shift — no operator required. Paired with the GT-15's 18″ of X-axis travel and permanent gang-tool setups, you can stage multiple jobs and run lights-out.
Keep your spindle running. Keep your operators safe.
The RB08Q1 handles payloads up to 8 kg across a massive 1,440 mm working reach, loading the GT-15 with disk-shaped or shaft workpieces while the lathe's driven tool spindles handle axial and radial milling, drilling, boring, and tapping in one setup.
The ultimate palletized system
for lights-out production
Combine the heavy-duty turning power of the GT-15 with the high-speed precision of the RB08Q1 — a seamless, drop-in cell that eliminates manual loading and maximizes spindle uptime.

The RB08Q1 is designed to handle payloads of up to 8 kg (17.6 lbs) and boasts a massive working reach of 1,440 mm. It also features a maximum horizontal reach of 1,500 mm and a vertical reach of 1,600 mm.
Programming is incredibly fast and user-friendly. Using the intuitive “teach-in” mode, an operator can physically guide the robotic arm through its pick-and-place path, and the system instantly memorizes the exact movements. Because of this, full programming from scratch can easily be completed in just a single shift.
Yes! The RB08Q1 eliminates proprietary lock-in by interfacing readily with Haas, Fanuc, and GSK CNC controls. When paired with a GSK-controlled machine, the communication between the controller and the robot is flawlessly synchronized, giving you the reliability of a single-source provider.
Absolutely. The RB08Q1 carries an IP65 rating, meaning it is fully sealed against shop dust and cutting fluids. It is engineered for relentless, 24/7 unattended operation on the shop floor.
The robot arm itself is built on a nimble, lightweight 75 kg (165 lbs) frame. To maximize your available workspace, the robot offers flexible installation and can be mounted directly on the floor, ceiling, or wall.
The $29,995 base price gets your automation journey started with the GSK RB08Q1 6-Axis Robot Arm, the Electrical Cabinet & Controller System, standard installation, and one (1) day of on-site training. (Note: Travel/per diem, specialized grippers, and auxiliary conveyor equipment are quoted separately.)
The workstation is currently available in specialized models that are optimized for tending disk-shaped workpieces and shafts. It utilizes a smart three-point inner/outer positioning method, which allows operators to make rapid, on-the-fly adjustments without needing to replace parts.
