Full specifications
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.
- 3 kg 30th 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.
- 800 mm 10th pct in class
- Repeatability
How close the robot returns to the same taught point on repeated tries (ISO 9283, ±). Lower is better — tighter precision.
- 0.03 mm 80th 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.
- 4
Motion range & speed
Per-axis travel limits and rotational speeds.
Motion range and maximum speed per joint.
| Axis | Range | Max speed |
|---|---|---|
| J4 | — | 3500 °/s |
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.
- 130 kg
- Mounting
Orientations the robot can be installed in (floor, ceiling/inverted, wall, tilted, mobile base).
- ceiling
Power & controller
Electrical supply and the control cabinet that drives it.
- Power draw
Typical operating power consumption. Lower is more efficient.
- 3,000 W 0th pct in class
- Controller
The control cabinet / unit that runs the robot.
- R-30iB Plus
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).
- No
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, offline-sim
- Languages
Native robot programming language(s) — e.g. KRL (KUKA), RAPID (ABB), URScript (UR), INFORM (Yaskawa).
- KAREL, TP
- Teach pendant
The handheld programming/jog device supplied.
- iPendant Touch
- Offline programming
Whether programs can be built and validated offline in a digital twin before deployment.
- Yes
