YASKAWA Electric Corporation (Kitakyushu, Fukuoka, Japan) announces the launch of the collaborative robot MOTOMAN-HC35 with 35 kg payload capacity and 2030 mm reach. The new model succeeds the highly acclaimed MOTOMAN-HC20DTP and offers an expanded working envelope and payload capacity, along with improved installation flexibility and ease of use.
The main features include:
- Higher payload capacity and longer reach. MOTOMAN-HC35 has a payload capacity of 35 kg and a reach of 2,030 mm, expanding the range of applications for factory automation. In addition, its increased wrist moment capacity further enhances its ability to handle larger and heavier workpieces. For example, in palletizing applications, the robot can transport heavier workpieces, pick multiple products simultaneously, and achieve higher stacking heights. In screwdriving applications, it delivers fastening torque exceeding 200 Nm throughout its operating range.
- Enhanced safety and productivity. MOTOMAN-HC35 incorporates new torque sensors that improve collision detection and response performance. This enables faster operation in collaborative environments while minimizing impact forces in the unlikely event of contact with personnel. As a result, manufacturers can achieve both higher productivity and improved workplace safety. The robot also offers smooth and intuitive hand-guiding functionality for easy teaching and operation.
- Superior installation flexibility. The slim, compact arm design minimizes interference with surrounding equipment and enables access to confined spaces. In addition, the robot’s footprint has been reduced to φ270 mm, compared with φ380 mm for the MOTOMAN-HC20DTP, allowing installation in more space-constrained production environments.
- Built-in application cables. Application cables, including a Cat6A Ethernet cable, are integrated within the robot arm as standard. This internal cable routing minimizes the risk of interference with peripheral equipment and simplifies integration with end-effectors by providing connections directly at the wrist.
The main uses in the market for the MOTOMAN HC35 include palletizing, screwdriving and various other industrial applications.
