MELFA Robots – RP Series - Super-Fast Exceptionally Precise

 

The twin-arm SCARA robots of the RP series are high-performance systems developed specially for micro-handling. When it comes to precision, speed and compactness of these robots are virtually unbeatable. These compact units with 4 degrees of freedom are ideal for applications like watch, mobile phone and hearing aid assembly. The RP product range includes three models for handling tasks with payloads from 1 to 5kg.

Placement accuracy one tenth the width of a human hair
The smallest and fastest robot in this range is the RP-1AH. It can place components with a precision of five thousandths of a millimetre in a workspace around the size of a DIN A6 sheet of paper – an unbeatable performance that is currently only available from Mitsubishi Electric robots.

Highlights RP-1AH
• Repeatability ± 0.005 mm
• Cycle period per pick and place < 0.5 s
• Required footprint approx. 200 × 160 mm
• Work envelope approx. 150 × 105 mm
• Extended pick up zones for material feeding
• Multitasking operating system supports parallel processing
