Space-saving Gantry Robots

Aug. 2, 2008
The XR-Series four-axis, compact gantry robots feature a ceiling-mounted, flexible SCARA robot combined with a long-stroke Cartesian robot. 
As a result of this integrated design, the robots use up to 40 percent less factory floor space than conventional SCARA robots, says the vendor. They can also operate in many applications without the need of a conveyor, saving capital-equipment costs. These high-speed, high-precision robots have a reach of 200mm to 300mm and an x-axis stroke of 850mm to 1,660mm, with a cycle time of 0.53 seconds, repeatability of ±0.015mm and a payload capacity of 3kg.
