Small-footprint PL80 robot from Yaskawa designed for palletizing, picking

Yaskawa Motoman has introduced the compact, 5-axis PL80 robot. It is suitable for palletizing/depalletizing, order picking, layer picking and forming, and other logistical tasks for end-of-line or distribution automation.

Featuring an 80-kg payload capacity, the robot offers a 2,061-mm horizontal reach, 3,291-mm vertical reach, and 0.03-mm repeatability. It features fast axis speeds and acceleration capabilities, an IP67-rated wrist, and an IP54 body as standard.

A single cable connects the manipulator to the controller, simplifying setup and reducing expenses for maintenance and spare parts inventory.
