Performance

How much it lifts, how far it reaches, how precisely it repeats.

Payload Maximum mass the robot can carry at the wrist flange, including the gripper/tool. Higher means it can handle heavier parts.: 12 kg

60th pct in class
Reach Maximum horizontal distance from the base axis to the wrist — defines the size of the work area. Higher means a larger envelope.: 1,270 mm

59th pct in class
Repeatability How close the robot returns to the same taught point on repeated tries (ISO 9283, ±). Lower is better — tighter precision.: 0.05 mm

10th pct in class
Axes (DOF) Number of independently driven joints / degrees of freedom. 6 is standard for articulated arms; 4 for SCARA/palletizers; 7 adds elbow redundancy.: 6
Max TCP speed Top linear speed of the tool centre point. Higher means faster cycle times.: 2,200 mm/s

65th pct in class

Motion range & speed

Per-axis travel limits and rotational speeds.

Motion range and maximum speed per joint.

Axis	Range	Max speed
J1	-270° to 270°	—
J2	-180° to 180°	—
J3	-225° to 85°	—
J4	-180° to 180°	—
J5	-180° to 180°	—
J6	-270° to 270°	—

Physical

Size, mass and how it mounts.

Robot weight Mass of the manipulator (arm) without controller. Lighter eases mounting and mobile use; heavier often means stiffer/higher payload.: 53 kg
Mounting Orientations the robot can be installed in (floor, ceiling/inverted, wall, tilted, mobile base).: floor, ceiling, wall, tilted

Power & controller

Electrical supply and the control cabinet that drives it.

Power supply Required input voltage / phase for the controller.: 100-230 V AC
Power draw Typical operating power consumption. Lower is more efficient.: 285 W

68th pct in class
Controller The control cabinet / unit that runs the robot.: OmniCore C30

Environment

Conditions it can operate in — dust, water, temperature, cleanliness.

IP rating (arm) Ingress protection of the body against dust/water (IEC 60529). First digit = dust, second = water. Higher resists harsher environments.: IP54

5th pct in class
Operating temp Ambient temperature range for normal operation.: 0 to 50 °C
Humidity Permissible relative-humidity range (non-condensing).: ≤ 75 %RH

Safety

Standards met and collaborative-operation capability.

Collaborative Whether the robot is designed to work safely next to people without fencing (power-and-force-limited).: Yes
Safety standards Certified safety standards (ISO 10218-1, ISO/TS 15066) and functional-safety level (PLd/PLe, SIL2/3).: ISO 10218-1, ISO/TS 15066, PLd Cat.3
Collab features Collaborative safety functions: power-force-limiting, speed-and-separation monitoring, hand-guiding, safety-rated stops.: power-force-limiting, safety-rated-stop, hand-guiding
Cert. cobot payload Payload at which collaborative (force-limited) operation is still certified.: 12 kg

58th pct in class

Control & software

Programming, languages and ecosystem.

Programming How the robot is taught: pendant, hand-guiding (lead-through), block/flow-chart, scripting, offline simulation.: teach-pendant, lead-through, graphical-blockly
Languages Native robot programming language(s) — e.g. KRL (KUKA), RAPID (ABB), URScript (UR), INFORM (Yaskawa).: RAPID
ROS support Robot Operating System driver availability (none / ROS 1 / ROS 2 / both).: ros1
Teach pendant The handheld programming/jog device supplied.: ABB Wizard (block-based)
Offline programming Whether programs can be built and validated offline in a digital twin before deployment.: Yes

Connectivity & I/O

Signals, fieldbuses and tooling interfaces.

Fieldbus Industrial networks supported for PLC/cell integration (PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, EtherCAT, Modbus TCP, CC-Link, etc.).: PROFINET, EtherNet/IP
Tool flange Mechanical interface at the wrist for mounting tools (ISO 9409-1 pattern).: ISO 9409-1-50-4-M6

Safety certifications

ISO 10218-1 — the primary industrial-robot safety standard covering design and construction requirements
ISO/TS 15066 — the safety standard for collaborative robots working near people (force and speed limits)
PLd Cat.3 — high safety-integrity (PLd) with a dual-channel architecture that tolerates one fault without losing the safety function
