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.

4 kg
4th 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.

1,008 mm
30th pct in class
Repeatability

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

0.01 mm
95th 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.

8.9 N·m
5th 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.

0.2 kg·m²

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.

28 kg
Mounting

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

floor, wall, tilted, ceiling

Power & controller

Electrical supply and the control cabinet that drives it.

Power rating

Rated supply capacity the installation must provide.

1 kVA
Controller

The control cabinet / unit that runs the robot.

YRC1000 / YRC1000micro

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
