Staubli's RS20 provides all the benefits of a Staubli SCARA robot but in ultra compact form, ideal for use on table or bench top automation.
Staubli has added a mini-SCARA model to its TX/RX ranges of high-speed, high-precision, six-axis robots and SCARA four-axis robots.
Space is often at a premium when automation systems are being designed and integrated.
The new RS20 provides all the benefits of a Staubli SCARA robot but in ultra compact form, ideal for use on table or bench top automation.
With a footprint of just 250 x 150mm, weighing just 15kg and with a reach of 220mm and payload of 1kg, the RS20 is ideal for automation tasks such as dispensing, testing, packaging and assembly.
It is even small enough to be incorporated inside a machining centre and runs on 230V single-phase supply.
The RS20 uses the same control platform and programming language as other Staubli robots.
The CS8C M controller is a compact lightweight design based on Staubli's CS8 platform.
The CS8 controls platform is suited to applications that require complex process control.
The CS8 uses VAL3 programming language which is perfectly adapted to robotics and includes many communication options including Fieldbus, Ethernet, offline programming and Modbus for ease of integration and use.
All cables run inside the arm, including the electrical / pneumatic user lines, ensuring the highest availability and failure protection.
The robot has a repeatability of +/- 0.01mm.
The new Ultra-Compact Mini-SCARA RS20 expands the Staubli SCARA robot range, now including the RS20, RS40B, RS60 and RS80 models with reaches from 220 to 800mm and payloads from 1 to 8kg.
Backed by Staubli worldwide service support, the RS20 provides automation engineers with a new tool when designing those small scale precision assembly, packaging and testing tasks.
