What sets it apart
Why choose this robot
Six-axis articulated robots are the most versatile family in the catalog: they handle manipulation and process tasks in different positions and orientations within the workspace. Model selection is defined by the part, tooling, cycle, and environment, within an integrated solution.
Six joints
Moves and turns the part or tool like a human arm.
From kilos to pallets
There are tabletop models for small parts and large models for heavy loads.
Floor, wall or ceiling
It can be mounted to fit the space available in the plant.
Many applications
The same robot type changes task by changing the tool.
What it is used for
Typical applications
- Robotic welding
- Machine loading and unloading
- Palletizing and material handling
- Painting, adhesives, and finishing
Clear expectations
What it can and cannot do
It can
- Work on parts with joints or faces at different angles.
- Reach into a machine, pick a part and turn it in the air.
- Be reused in another application if the process changes.
It cannot
- Match a SCARA's speed on short planar moves.
- Work next to people without guarding: it is an industrial robot.
- Exceed the payload and reach of its model: it must be sized correctly.
