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.
- 1,327 mm 73th 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 49th 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
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° | 180 °/s |
| J5 | -360° to 360° | 180 °/s |
| J6 | -360° to 360° | 180 °/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.
- 41 kg
- Base footprint
Length × width of the mounting base — the floor space the robot occupies.
- 188 × 188 mm
- 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.
- 500 W 42th 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.
- IP65 62th pct in class
- Operating temp
Ambient temperature range for normal operation.
- -10 to 50 °C
- Humidity
Permissible relative-humidity range (non-condensing).
- 10 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
- 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
- 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.
- hand-guiding, graphical, app
- 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.
- Integrated vision
Whether a camera / vision system is built into the robot or controller.
- No
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)
