Key Features
Key Features
Rigid structure for 16 kg payloads
It supports heavy parts reliably and delivers powerful performance in machine tending, metal material transfer, engine assembly, and other high-payload processes.
Compact, power-focused 900 mm reach
Easy to install in limited spaces, it provides a balanced reach structure optimized for close-range heavy-payload work such as press lines, CNC loading, and loading/unloading.
High repeatability of +/-0.05 mm
Even under heavy payloads, it maintains +/-0.05 mm repeatability for stable quality in machine loading and mold-related processes.
Industrial durability with IP54 protection
The aluminum and steel frame with IP54 protection supports continuous operation in dusty, oily, and metalworking environments.
Stable real-time motion quality
Linux-based real-time ROS control maintains smooth trajectories and stable speed while handling heavy loads. Collision detection and gravity compensation are built in.
Highly expandable interfaces and easy installation
M8 8-pin connectors, DIN 6-port PNP, and Dout 2-port interfaces support grippers, vision, sensors, and pneumatic devices. A 5 m cable improves installation flexibility.
