Ceiling mounted SCARA robot set to save space
TM Robotics launches a ceiling mounted version of the Toshiba Machine TH450 SCARA (Selective Compliant Assembly Robot Arm), which will save space by allowing access to the working area from above
Situated within the Robotics World section in Hall 17 at Hanover, the Robotic Pack Line is a fully functional robotic production and packing line designed to demonstrate how foodstuffs may be rapidly processed and packed hygienically and reliably without human contact.
It includes separate metering, packing, sealing and marking systems, coordinated sequentially and culminating in a ready-packed pallet secured for further transport.
Designed to achieve fast cycle times and accurate placements, the TH650 is a high precision 5-axis SCARA robot that will reduce assembly and packing time of small components within high-speed production environments.
Maximum arm length is 650mm (300 + 350mm) and it can carry payloads of up to 10kg, placing them with a repeatable accuracy of +/- 0.15mm.
The TH650 has a user-friendly TS2100 controller, allowing simultaneous five-axis control, using a built-in PLC.
It has a storage capacity of 6400 points and 12800 steps across up to 256 programmes, with up to 70 I/O.
It uses the proprietary Toshiba Machine SCOL programming language (similar to Basic) and this can be used across the complete Toshiba SCARA and Cartesian robot range.
Hannover Messe takes place from 24-28 April 2006, and the demo can be seen in Hall 17, Stand B50. Request free introductory details about products from TM Robotics (Europe) ...
