Robot features element-resistant hollow wrist design, arc and gigabit dressings

Comau has introduced its new S-Family of small, powerful 6-axis robots.

The first two high-speed robots, with payloads of 13 kg and up to 18 kg, are designed for assembly, arc welding, and handling applications where accuracy, repeatabilit,y and speed are necessary. The compact and versatile robots can easily access small spaces and tight areas that are difficult to reach with other robots. Certified in accordance with Fraunhofer procedure instruction, the 6-axis articulated robots help companies achieve higher production quality and better performance with reduced energy consumption and costs.

The robots are suited for applications requiring extreme accuracy and speed while ensuring full protection from elements including water, dust, and other contaminants.

With protective IP68 hollow-wrist design, the electrical and auxiliary cabling runs inside the wrist which allows the robots to enjoy greater agility while minimizing the risk of damage. Furthermore, they feature fully integrated arc and gigabit dressings, which help remove layout constraints and significantly reduce cable kinking, breakage and subsequent maintenance costs.

The robots can be mounted on the floor, wall, or ceiling to optimize space without sacrificing performance. They have been tested and certified for energy efficiency in accordance with Fraunhofer procedures and are available in two different payload configurations (13 and 18 kg) with a 1700 mm reach and a repeatability of ±0.03mm.
