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.
- 20 kg 44th 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.
- 1,780 mm 49th 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 31th 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.
- 5,000 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 | -360° to 360° | 120 °/s |
| J2 | -85° to 265° | 120 °/s |
| J3 | -175° to 175° | 120 °/s |
| J4 | -85° to 265° | 265 °/s |
| J5 | -360° to 360° | 265 °/s |
| J6 | -360° to 360° | 265 °/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.
- 68 kg
- Mounting
Orientations the robot can be installed in (floor, ceiling/inverted, wall, tilted, mobile base).
- floor, ceiling, wall, angle
Power & controller
Electrical supply and the control cabinet that drives it.
- Power supply
Required input voltage / phase for the controller.
- 100-240VAC, 50-60Hz
- Power draw
Typical operating power consumption. Lower is more efficient.
- 750 W 67th pct in class
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 19th pct in class
- IP rating (wrist)
Ingress protection at the wrist, often higher than the body for wet/washdown duty.
- IP67 14th pct in class
- Operating temp
Ambient temperature range for normal operation.
- 0 to 50 °C
- Humidity
Permissible relative-humidity range (non-condensing).
- 0 to 90 %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
Control & software
Programming, languages and ecosystem.
- Programming
How the robot is taught: pendant, hand-guiding (lead-through), block/flow-chart, scripting, offline simulation.
- graphical-programming, hand-guiding
- ROS support
Robot Operating System driver availability (none / ROS 1 / ROS 2 / both).
- none
- Teach pendant
The handheld programming/jog device supplied.
- PC, mobile terminal (PAD/phone)
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, Modbus TCP
- Digital I/O
Built-in digital inputs/outputs for grippers, sensors and signalling.
- 16 in / 16 out
