Where it performs

  • Ideal for small-scale automation in limited operational areas
  • Integrated force sensing enhances safety and application flexibility
  • Intuitive touchscreen interface simplifies programming and operation

What to check before buying

  • Limited payload capacity of 3 kg, unsuitable for heavier items
  • IP54 rating means it is not fully protected against water jets
  • Restricted reach of 500 mm may limit larger application scope
