Higher Payload Capacity for DENSO XR-Series Compact Gantry Robots

MOTION CONTROL: DENSO announced that it has increased the payload capacity of its XR-Series four-axis, compact gantry robots from 3 to 5kg. The new 5kg capacity, which represents an increase of over 60 percent, allows the robots to handle a significantly wider range of applications.

The XR-Series robots feature a ceiling‑mounted, flexible SCARA robot combined with a long-stroke Cartesian robot. As a result of their highly efficient, integrated design, the XR-Series robots use up to 40 percent less floor space than conventional SCARAs. In addition, they can operate in many applications without the need of a conveyor, saving up to 20 percent in capital-equipment costs.

The high-speed, high‑precision robots have a reach of 200 to 300mm and an x‑axis stroke of 850 to 1,660mm, with a cycle time of 0.53 seconds and repeatability of ±0.015mm. Typical applications include assembly, dispensing, material handling and parts feeding.
