BA013L-A
A 6-axis, hollow-wrist arc-welding robot rated for 13 kg payload and 2,093 mm reach, with internal cable/torch routing to reduce cable wear and interference. In the catalog since 2022; a compact welding-cell configuration was newly demoed at Automate 2026.
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.
- 13 kg 67th 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.
- 2,093 mm 67th pct in class
- Repeatability
How close the robot returns to the same taught point on repeated tries (ISO 9283, ±). Lower is better — tighter precision.
- 0.06 mm 0th 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
- Wrist torque
Allowable torque at the wrist axis — how much twisting force a tool can apply. Higher handles bigger/offset tools.
- 26 N·m 67th pct in class
- Wrist inertia
Allowable moment of inertia at the wrist — how much rotating mass it can swing without overload. Higher is more capable.
- 0.9 kg·m² 67th pct in class
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.
- 280 kg
- Mounting
Orientations the robot can be installed in (floor, ceiling/inverted, wall, tilted, mobile base).
- floor, ceiling, wall
Environment
Conditions it can operate in — dust, water, temperature, cleanliness.
- IP rating (wrist)
Ingress protection at the wrist, often higher than the body for wet/washdown duty.
- IP67 38th pct in class
- Operating temp
Ambient temperature range for normal operation.
- 0 to 45 °C
- Humidity
Permissible relative-humidity range (non-condensing).
- 35 to 85 %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).
- No
