Gantry Robots
DENSO’s (www.densorobotics.com) XR-Series four-axis gantry robots combine a ceiling-mounted flexible SCARA robot with a long-stroke Cartesian robot to reduce floor space by up to 40% than conventional SCARA designs. With a reach of 200 mm to 300 mm and an X-axis stroke of 850 mm to 1,660 mm, the robots can perform in a cycle time of 0.53 seconds with a repeatability rate of ± 0.015 mm; payload capacity is 3 kg. |
