mitsubishi factory robots for the automated laboratory workcell

The Mitsubishi range of robots is the most accurate and cost effective robot solution available. The Mitsubishi robots are very powerful, and under European legislation have to be caged and screened to prevent user access during robot handling operations.

The mean time between failure (MTBF) for these robots is quoted at well over 10 years, and in use, paa have never have a robot service call for mechanical or electronic robot failure. The only failure mode we have experienced is the on board memory backup batteries being drain flat when the robot is left turned off for an extended period of time.

The MELFA (Mitsubishi ELectric Factory Automation) RV range of articulated robots offer a complete range of accurate and reliable robots with 5 and 6 degrees of freedom for all kinds of handling tasks with payloads from 1 to 12kg.

High performance in the compact class
Mitsubishi's RV-2AJ and RV-1A are small, compactly-designed robots that can be installed directly next to or even inside machinery and systems. These compact units are particularly good at placing and removing small components.

Mid-range reliability
Typical applications for the RV-3SDJB and RV-3SDB include handling samples, work on analysis equipment and a wide range of quality control tasks. The slim design and great agility of these robots make it easy to integrate them in machinery.

Maximum power and reach
The RV-D series are the latest generation of 6-DOF (degrees of freedom) robots from Mitsubishi Electric. With repeatability of ± 0.05mm and speeds of up to 9,500mm/s the RV-12DL is one of the fastest and most precise robots in its class. These robots are ideal for handling components in industrial manufacturing applications and for daisy-chaining production machines.

Safety
Mitsubishi Electric's comprehensive protection and service functions help to make these robots particularly safe and reliable. Standard equipment includes a sensorless collision prevention system that immediately switches off the robot as soon as any non-typical load is registered. Another highlight is the intelligent service warning, which automatically calculates the next service date on the basis of how each individual robot is used.

More Highlights
* Compliance Control function
* Multitasking operating system
* Load-based acceleration optimisation
* Individual axis torque monitoring
* Sensorless crash detection
* Control functions for additional axes
* IP65 protection rating (axes 4-6)
