Maximum Precision for Your Manufacturing: Industrial Manipulators
Robot arms are the functional organs of the modern factory. Unlike static machines, they offer the flexibility to follow complex paths in three-dimensional space. When selecting the right arm for your project, we support you in coordinating critical parameters:
-
Payload: From lightweight components in electronics assembly to heavy components in logistics.
-
Reach: Optimization of the working radius for space-saving cells or extensive production lines.
-
Degrees of Freedom (Axes): 4-axis (SCARA) or 6-axis systems for maximum freedom of movement.
-
Protection Classes: Robust housings (e.g., IP65/67) for use in dusty or humid environments.
Application Areas and Industry Solutions
Our robot arms are designed for continuous operation and find application in:
-
Automotive: Spot-welded joints and assembly of small parts.
-
Pharma & Food: Hygienic handling under cleanroom conditions.
-
Laboratory Automation: High-precision pipetting and sample handling.
1. How do I find the right robot arm for my application?
The choice primarily depends on the required payload (weight of the workpiece plus gripper) and the necessary reach. Additionally, repeatability is crucial: for delicate electronics assembly, deviations in the micrometer range are required, while in palletizing, millimeter tolerances are often sufficient.
2. Which controllers are compatible with the robot arms?
Our arms are optimized for collaboration with our industrial robot controllers. However, thanks to open standards and EtherCAT interfaces, they can also be integrated into many existing PLC and PC-based control systems.
3. What does Degree of Freedom (DOF) mean for a robot arm?
The number of degrees of freedom usually corresponds to the number of movable joints (axes). A 6-axis robot arm can reach any position in space from any arbitrary angle, making it ideal for complex tasks such as welding or painting.
4. Are the robot arms suitable for collaborative use (Cobots)?
This depends on the respective model and the installed sensor technology. While classic industrial robots operate within safety fences, we also offer solutions that can be designed for safer human-machine collaboration through force-torque sensor technology.
