Yaskawa Adds to its Lineup of Direct-Teach, Plug-and-Play Cobots
February 17, 2022Comments
Yaskawa has enhanced its HC-Series lineup of collaborative
robots (cobots) with the new six-axis HC10DTP and HC20DTP models. Hand-guided
programming allows users to direct-teach points without a pendant, and an ISO
standard tool flange and electrical connections facilitate a plug-and-play
approach for easy deployment. Use the cobots for a variety of applications
including assembly, machine tending, material handling, packaging and welding. To enable humans to safely work with the
cobots, power and force-limiting technology constantly monitors force to
quickly and safely react to contact, and they units include advanced pinchless
geometry. A thru-arm Category 6 Ethernet cable, I/O cable and dual air lines
eliminate external utilities while offering fast, safe and easy setup of a variety
of communication options for tooling.
Made of cast aluminum, both units are IP67-rated and equipped for use in damp or splash-prone environments. Model HC10DTP has a 10-kg payload capacity, 1379-mm maximum reach, 1200-mm effective reach and ±0.05-mm repeatability. The HC20DTP (shown in the photo) has a 20-kg payload capacity, 1900-mm maximum reach, 1700-mm effective reach and ±0.05-mm repeatability.
