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
7th 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.

541 mm
8th pct in class
Repeatability

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

0.02 mm
59th 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.

Max TCP speed

Top linear speed of the tool centre point. Higher means faster cycle times.

Motion range & speed

Per-axis travel limits and rotational speeds.

Max axis speed

Highest rotational speed of the fastest joint. Higher helps short, fast moves.

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.

27 kg
Mounting

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

Power & controller

Electrical supply and the control cabinet that drives it.

Power supply

Required input voltage / phase for the controller.

3×AC 400 V, 50 Hz
Controller

The control cabinet / unit that runs the robot.

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
26th pct in class
IP rating (wrist)

Ingress protection at the wrist, often higher than the body for wet/washdown duty.

Operating temp

Ambient temperature range for normal operation.

10 to 55 °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).

No
Safety standards

Certified safety standards (ISO 10218-1, ISO/TS 15066) and functional-safety level (PLd/PLe, SIL2/3).
