Robot designed for machine tending

The heavy payload of the MH280 II robot, available from Yaskawa Motoman, makes it suitable for machine tending, from boring and milling to grinding. With its increased moment and inertia ratings, the unit also can be used in material handling and press-tending applications. It also is suitable for jigless applications, in which the robot positions parts for processing by other robots, or for operations in which two robots handle a single part.

The streamlined upper arm design allows the 6-axis robot to reach into confined spaces. It has a 617.29-lb. payload, an 8-ft. horizontal reach, and a 9.7-ft. vertical reach. Its large work envelope extends behind the robot, allowing for an increased number of operations in a single cell and accommodating a variety of big, heavy parts.
