Industrial Robotic Arm Systems: SCARA Robots for Streamlined Manufacturing Operations
Mitsubishi Electric Introduces Advanced MELFA RH-10CRH and RH-20CRH SCARA Robots
Mitsubishi Electric has unveiled the MELFA RH-10CRH and RH-20CRH SCARA robots, boasting impressive improvements over previous models. These robots offer maximum reach radii ranging from 600mm to 1000mm and payload capacities of up to 10kg and 20kg respectively.
Key Advancements over Previous Models
The new MELFA robots feature significant weight and size reductions, with up to 69% weight reduction due to a simplified design and battery-less motor technology. They also provide space-saving benefits with up to 65% height and 50% weight reductions.
Other advancements include the incorporation of "MELFA High Drive function" for improved cycle times and trajectory precision, advanced sensing and vision capabilities with support for 3D and 2D vision sensors and force sensing, and compatibility with Mitsubishi Electric's e-F@ctory and industrial networks like those supported by the CC-Link Partners Association.
Unique Features and Design
The RH-10CRH is designed for transportation and assembly tasks in the food and automotive industries, while the RH-20CRH is specialized for handling and packaging heavier items up to 20kg. Both robots have a compact footprint and minimized external protrusions, making them ideal for space-constrained and interference-sensitive environments.
Potential Applications
The MELFA RH-10CRH/20CRH series is well-suited for high-speed assembly and transport in automotive and food production lines, handling and packaging of heavier components where precision and payload capacity are critical, tasks requiring fast cycle times, precise trajectory following, and integration with visual and force sensing systems, and environments demanding smaller robot size, lighter weight, and lower maintenance for improved operational efficiency.
In conclusion, the MELFA RH-10CRH/20CRH series offers dramatic size and weight reductions, advanced sensing capabilities, and improved automation flexibility, tailored to demanding industrial tasks with better speed, accuracy, and integration than previous models.
The MELFA RH-10CRH and RH-20CRH SCARA robots, with their advanced sensing and vision capabilities, are compatible with Mitsubishi Electric's e-F@ctory and industrial networks like those supported by the CC-Link Partners Association, demonstrating their integration with the finance and technology sectors.
In various industries such as food and automotive, the MELFA RH-10CRH/20CRH series' unique features – including their compact sizes, minimized external protrusions, and compatibility with 3D and 2D vision sensors and force sensing – offer potential for optimal financial returns through increased operational efficiency.
