Slashes cycle times November 1st 2010 AA Robotics has introduced the VS
Series 6 axis articulated robot range
from Denso which is said to be
capable of reducing robotic machine
cycle times by one third. The robot
can fit into less space, allowing
machines a smaller footprint.
Neil Billing of AA Robotics says:
"One of the main problems with
high speed 6 axis robots is the flexing
of the wrist cables and the damage
this can cause which results in down
time. The VS can
now be specified
with Ethernet
completely through
to axis 6 and an
additional 7th axis
servo cable for a
gripper, also
through to axis 6."
The VS series robots can move at
speeds of 10,000mm/s carrying loads
of up to 7kg and with an assembly
accuracy of 0.02mm precision. More articles from Aylesbury Automation Ltd: |
