Six-axis robot is first for Toshiba Machine

The Toshiba TV800 EZCell robot is the first six axis robot ever manufactured by Toshiba Machine.

The TV800 has a total arm length of 800 mm, a reach of 892 mm and a composite maximum speed of 8.06 metres per second.

The robot has a maximum cycle time of 0.4 to 0.5 seconds, repeatability of ±0.02 mm and a maximum payload of 5 kg. Its controlled using Toshiba Machine's new TS3100 controller, which is programmed in SCOL , a language similar to BASIC as are all Toshiba Machine industrial robots, and has the option of a teach pendant for easy access outside the robot cell.

The new six axis robot uses an absolute position detection system, with a robust AC motor at its heart. Axes one to six offer working envelopes of ±170º, -100 - +150º, -127 - +167º, ±190º, ±120º and ±360º respectively. They also feature maximum speeds of 237º/S, 240º/S, 288º/S, 350.5º/S, 484º/S, and 576º/S respectively. The allowable moment of inertia on axis four and five is 0.3kg • m2 and on axis six its 0.5kg • m2
