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.

paa are the suppliers of Mitsubishi robots to the pharmaceutical industry in Europe.

The MELFA (Mitsubishi ELectric Factory Automation) RH range of SCARA robots offer a complete range of accurate and reliable robots with 4 degrees of freedom for all kinds of handling tasks with payloads from 6 to 18kg.

Mitsubishi SCARA robots are specialists for fast palletising, sorting and component placement and assembly. They have a very short cycle period of up to 0.5 seconds for movement sequence consisting of a 25mm vertical lift, a 300mm horizontal traverse, a 25mm vertical lower and return. Mitsubishi Electric offers three versions with payload handling capacities of 6kg and 18kg and reaches of 550mm and 850mm.

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 with 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
