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.

Reach

Maximum horizontal distance from the base axis to the wrist — defines the size of the work area. Higher means a larger envelope.

350 mm
0th pct in class
Repeatability

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

Axes (DOF)

Number of independently driven joints / degrees of freedom. 6 is standard for articulated arms; 4 for SCARA/palletizers; 7 adds elbow redundancy.

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.

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).
