Where it performs

  • Compact form factor enables installation in diverse and small environments.
  • Multiple programming methods, including drag-to-teach, simplify operation.
  • Adjustable safety levels and collision sensing facilitate human interaction.

What to check before buying

  • Payload capacity of 2 kg restricts it to very light handling tasks.
  • IP54 rating offers only moderate protection against dust and splashing water.
  • Repeatability of ±0.05 mm may not suit all high-precision applications.
