Comau has introduced two new robots, Racer5-0.63 and Racer5-0.80, for quick applications in restricted spaces, including handling, assembly and pick & place. Both robots are controlled by the R1C 19” rack-mounted controller, which can be integrated into a single cabinet to control an entire line.
The robots are also available in the openROBOTICS version where the robot is directly integrated into the existing machine/line automation controlled by B&R technologies.
Both robots are built on the Racer3 technological platform, thus offering solutions which share the same components and parts.
The two new robots expand the capacity of Racer3 in terms of payload and reach. Racer5-0.63 features a reach of 630mm and payload of 5kg. Racer5-0.80 is also rated for a payload of 5kg, but has an extended reach of 809mm. All the other features of Racer3 remain the same, including the sectors and applications for which they are suited: handling, assembly and pick & place.
