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.

20 kg
79th 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.

1,700 mm
84th pct in class
Repeatability

How close the robot returns to the same taught point on repeated tries (ISO 9283, ±). Lower is better — tighter precision.

Axes (DOF)

Number of independently driven joints / degrees of freedom. 6 is standard for articulated arms; 4 for SCARA/palletizers; 7 adds elbow redundancy.

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.

73 kg
Mounting

Orientations the robot can be installed in (floor, ceiling/inverted, wall, tilted, mobile base).

floor, ceiling, wall, any

Power & controller

Electrical supply and the control cabinet that drives it.

Power draw

Typical operating power consumption. Lower is more efficient.

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.

Operating temp

Ambient temperature range for normal operation.

0 to 50 °C

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 13849-1:2015 PLd Cat.3, ISO 10218-1:2011, ISO/TS 15066, CE, UL
Cert. cobot payload

Payload at which collaborative (force-limited) operation is still certified.

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.).

Modbus TCP, Modbus RTU, EtherNet/IP, PROFINET
Integrated vision

Whether a camera / vision system is built into the robot or controller.

No
