Where it performs

  • Certified safety functions enable barrier-free operation with humans.
  • Integrated torque sensors provide precise force-limiting capabilities.
  • Intuitive programming via lead-through motion simplifies setup.

What to check before buying

  • Max TCP speed is reduced in collaborative mode for safety compliance.
  • Payload capacity of 5 kg may be restrictive for some applications.
  • Repeatability of 0.02 mm is suitable, but consider higher precision needs.
