Altınay Robot Group showcased its fully indigenous industrial robots, SR40 and SR80, at the SAHA 2026 International Defence, Aerospace and Space Industry Fair held at the Istanbul Expo Center. Organized by SAHA Istanbul, Türkiye and Europe’s largest defence, aerospace and space industry cluster, the fair brought together leading companies and new technologies from the Turkish defence and advanced manufacturing ecosystem.
The SR40 and SR80 industrial robots were developed with the support of the Ministry of Industry and Technology’s Hamle Program. Built as part of a fully independent technology ecosystem, the robots were designed with domestic capabilities covering software, motor systems, drivers and mechanical architecture. This makes the SR40 and SR80 more than standard industrial equipment; they represent an important step toward Türkiye’s goal of reducing foreign dependence in high-technology production systems.
The SR40 offers a payload capacity of 40 kilograms, while the SR80 is designed for heavier industrial tasks with an 80-kilogram payload capacity. Both models are part of the industrial robot family developed by GRASS, a company operating under Altınay Robot Group. With their wide working envelope, high repeatability accuracy and optimized motion control architecture, the robots meet global industrial standards and aim to provide reliable automation solutions for Turkish manufacturers across different sectors.
Designed for a wide range of manufacturing fields, the SR40 and SR80 can be used in sectors such as automotive, food production, metal processing and heavy industry. These robots are expected to improve efficiency, repeatability and safety in production lines by carrying out repetitive and precision-based operations with high performance. Their domestic development also supports Türkiye’s broader industrial transformation by strengthening local automation capabilities and increasing the competitiveness of manufacturers.
GRASS was launched in 2021 as a strategic initiative by Altınay Robot Technologies under the Ministry of Industry and Technology’s Hamle Program. The company aims to design and manufacture industrial robot arms and critical robotic components locally. Following the completion of its research and development process, GRASS evolved into an independent structure focused not only on robot arms but also on key subcomponents such as servo motors, reducers and motor drivers.
The company is also continuing its plans for a facility investment with a total indoor area of 20,000 square meters. With this investment, GRASS aims to expand Türkiye’s industrial robot production capacity and help reduce dependence on imported robotic technologies. The presentation of SR40 and SR80 at SAHA 2026 therefore stands out as a significant milestone in the country’s efforts to build a stronger domestic robotics ecosystem.
With their locally developed motion control systems, mechanical design, software architecture and critical components, the SR40 and SR80 reflect Türkiye’s ambition to become a stronger player in advanced production technologies. Altınay Robot Group’s participation at SAHA 2026 demonstrates that indigenous robotics solutions will play an increasingly important role not only in defence-related manufacturing but also across the wider industrial sector.
