This heavy-duty robot carries loads of up to 1,000 kg with an operational radius of up to six metres. Its main area of application is handling tasks in the automotive industry and in the glass, building and foundry sectors. Because of the high forces the robot has to absorb, it features robust and extremely large components. Its highly trained, muscular appearance also visually reflects the powerful physique. At the same time, it conveys the impression of a flexible and agile work animal, devoid of excess weight. Smooth transitions between structural shapes keep the pent-up mechanical forces in check and have a positive effect on force transmission. The manufacturing process for the housing components was optimised for this application: grey cast iron was used for components subjected to major forces and cast aluminium for dynamically stressed lightweight components.
