Comau Rebel-S 4-axis SCARA robot has 6 kg payload

Comau has launched Rebel-S, its own 4-axis SCARA robot, in five different models with a payload of 6 kg and three different reaches. All models are controlled by the R1C 19-in rack-mounted controller that can be integrated into a single cabinet to control an entire line.

The robots are also available in the openRobotics version, where the unit is directly integrated with existing machine/line automation and controlled by technologies from B&R, a collaborative partner of Comau.

Rebel-S is available with reaches of 450, 600 and 750 mm. All three can be floor- or wall-mounted, while the versions with 600 and 750 mm reach can also be configured for ceiling mounting. This flexibility in mounting position is courtesy of dual cabling options.

With the availability of an extension kit composed of spacers and cables, the five models are effectively interchangeable.
