Why the robotic arm is the Swiss Army knife of manufacturing

A modern robotic arm a flexible, accurate and quick-to-deploy tool: it can be operated both by physical training (drag & drop) and by programming (dashboard, API/JSON, coordinates). The built-in, integrated controller allows easy commissioning, and Wi-Fi / Ethernet / Bluetooth / USB / RS485 connections give flexible system integration. Most models are IP54-rated, with typical power consumption of max. 200 W (average ~100 W) and repeatability of up to ±0.05 mm (1 mm for GEN series).

Wide range of uses - one platform, many tasks

A robot arm its versatility is demonstrated by its proven industrial and service areas: trade, catering, surveillance/inspection (e.g. high altitude or underground inspection), logistics, construction, production line (painting, welding, surface treatment, sorting, quality control), therapeutic/recreational (e.g. massage, assistance, elderly care), household applications, AI data collection, robotics education, R&D, agriculture.

In the RM series, a safety module ensures that the arm stops immediately in the event of contact - key to human-robot interaction. The -6F versions use a 6-axis force/torque sensor (200 N / 7 Nm, <0.1% FS).

Modular ecosystem - adapters and sensors

A for robot arms 10+ adapters available plug-and-play end-tools: electric grippers (including infinite rotation), adaptive grippers (Red Dot award-winning), electric vacuum end-tools, flexible grippers (for fragile, irregular objects) and 3D cameras. ROS support is also available for certain tools.
Complex robots are also available for complex needs (e.g. work area with integrated lift, mobile platform with 360° LiDAR and depth cameras), with industrial safety features and on-site integration.

The right series for the right job

  • RM Series (6/7 DOF): ultra-light, 5 kg load capacity, 610-638,5 mm working radius, ±0,05 mm accuracy; for general purpose, collaborative tasks, with force/torque sensor option.
  • RML Series (6 DOF): big stretch (approx. 900-928,5 mm), 3 kg load - for precise operations with extensive working areas.
  • ECO Series (6 DOF): economical, compact; 5 kg models and the ECO62-B ultra-compact design (355 mm working beam, 1-2 kg burden).
  • GEN Series (7 DOF): entry level, simplified mechanics, 2 kg burden, 1 mm Repetition accuracy; hard/soft chair joints.

Why „Swiss Army knife”?

  • Many tasks on one platform: the wide range of applications and the expandable range of adapters make the same robotic arm can be integrated into different workflows.
  • Fast integration and commissioning: from integrated controller and multi-channel communication simplifies installation; the drag & drop teaching and the teaching desk/API/JSON offers several programming shortcuts.
  • Accuracy and security: ±0,05 mm repeatability (depending on the series), IP54 protection, and for the RM series sensitive collision-safety.
  • Scalability: a short reach compact machines (ECO62-B) to long reach to RML models and mobile/composite systems can be built on the same technological basis.

Summary: robotic arms are the „Swiss Army knives” of manufacturing, because in the same modular system offered at precision, safety, flexible control and broad task coverage - the general 5 kg from collaborative applications to high overhang checks and logistics operations through the medical and R&D until use.
