Debut for 6-axis articulated robot
May 1st 2004 Rexroth has introduced new 6-axis articulated robots that are based on the same operating platform as its turboscara plus series, but with two additional axes of movement and an increased payload.
The 6-axis configuration of the AR6 and ARG robots allows them to assume any position in the workspace when performing pick and place, assembly or machine feeding tasks.
The AR6 has a 650mm working radius and the AR8 an 850mm range. Both transport payloads to 5kg at high speeds with a repetitive precision of 0.02mm.
Streamlined design and comparatively low gross weight gives the AR series a good size:weight ratio and meets the space requirements of most automation applications, with optional table or ceiling mounting providing added positioning flexibility. The robots use the common IQ200 control platform. More articles from Bosch Rexroth Ltd: |
