Toshiba robot has longer reach

TM Robotics' 6-axis TV1000 robot joins the recently launched TV800 and provides an additional arm length option for larger scale applications.

The robot is the second machine in the series and is said ideal for pick and place applications in the general manufacturing sector.

The TV1000 has a total arm length of 1,000 mm, a reach of 1,090 mm and a composite maximum speed of 9.61 m/sec.

It has a maximum cycle time of 0.6 to 0.7 seconds, repeatability of ±0.03 mm and a maximum payload of 5 kg.

Axes one to six offer working envelopes of ±170°, -100° – +150°, -127° – +167°, ±190°, ±120° and ±360°, respectively.

They also feature maximum speeds of 237°/sec, 240°/ sec , 288°/sec , 350.5°/sec , 484°/sec, and 576°/sec, respectively. The allowable moment of inertia on axis four and five is 0.3kg/m2 and on axis six its 0.5kg/m2.

The robot is 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.

The TS3100 features a built-in Ethernet port, making conveyor and vision synchronisation simple. The controller also includes the built-in TCmini PLC, which allows control of I/O equipment, regardless of operation and program.
