Frequently asked questions
Spark is designed to be the perfect desktop collaborative companion. Automate the most strenuous, tedious, and delicate tasks in your workflow with industry-leading repeatability.
Yes. Spark uses our proprietary AI platform and integrates with third-party vision systems for adaptive tasks. Vision hardware can be added as a bundled purchase.
Yes. The Spark robot arm is rated IP69K, making it suitable for environments requiring washdown resistance or exposure to dust and moisture.
The control box is rated IP44 and is intended for standard industrial or lab environments.
Spark delivers repeatability of ±0.025 mm, enabling precise, consistent motion for tasks like pick & place, inspection, and lab handling.
Spark operates quietly with typical noise levels below 58 dB, depending on program speed and payload. This makes it suitable for labs, classrooms, and shared workspaces.
Spark uses an M8 8-pin tool connector and is compatible with leading electric and mechanical grippers, including two-finger, three-finger, and suction grippers.
Power and I/O are provided directly through the tool flange for simplified integration.
Yes. Spark supports manual guidance for teaching and setup, enabling intuitive waypoint definition and rapid programming.
Yes. Spark can run locally without an active internet connection once programs are deployed. Network connectivity is only required for software updates, remote support, or connected applications.
Yes. Spark is designed for fast reconfiguration between tasks. Programs can be saved, reused, and adapted across applications. This makes Spark well suited for flexible automation and changing workflows.
Spark is engineered for long-term industrial use. With proper operation and maintenance, it is designed to deliver many years of service across development and production environments.
Spark is designed for low maintenance operation. Routine inspections and basic preventative maintenance are typically sufficient.
Yes. Installation and integration support are available through Standard Bots and certified partners.
Support can scale from remote assistance to on-site deployment.
Standard Bots offers training options ranging from onboarding and basic operation to advanced programming and integration.
Training can be delivered remotely or on-site, depending on customer needs.
Spark is designed for collaborative operation and supports both collaborative and high-speed non-collaborative modes. Operators may tailor the system with a specific safety setup based on their own needs.
Spark is expected to begin shipping in Q2 2026. Lead times will be confirmed closer to general availability.
Spark is designed, assembled and shipped by Standard Bots from Glen Cove, New York.
