The Femtotools FT-G30 Micro-gripper is designed to handle micro- and nanoobjects. The initial opening of the gripper arms is 30um. The opening can be controlled with nano-meter precision. The maximum stroke is 30um (fully closed). Due to the electrostatic actuation principle there is no heating of the gripper arms. The FT-G30 gripper features an integrated force sensor to measure the grippin...

Dayton, Ohio — Quick and agile, the six-axis Motoman MS80 “Master Spot” welding robot features an 80-kg (176.4-lb) payload and moves more than 43 percent faster than a traditional heavy-payload robot, resulting in shorter takt times and higher throughput. Uniquely designed to optimize automotive applications using DC spot guns with compact servo actuators, these slim-profile MS80 robots can be pla...

Dayton, Ohio — Compact, powerful and economical, Motoman’s new six-axis MH5 and MH5L robots require minimal installation space and offer superior performance in small part handling applications such as assembly, machine tending and packaging, as well as dispensing and other tasks. Internally routed cables and hoses maximize system reliability, reduce interference and facilitate programming. The M...

Compactly designed super high speed 2 axes robot with belt driven X and Z axes combined. Super high speed type with 0.45sec cycle time as standard. lthough as compact as 109mm in overall width, the operation area size is 200mm for X axis and 100mm for Z axis. Highly rigid Z axis guide assures 3kg payload at the end section.

The FemtoTools force sensing probes stand for both highly precise and highly sensitive force sensing tools in the micro and nanodomain. They allow you to sense forces from milliNewton (10-3N) down to several nanoNewton (10-9N). •Sensors are individually calibrated •High resolution force measurement •Convenient 0-5V analog output proportional to the applied force •300% Full scale overload p...

Dayton, Ohio — Motoman’s slim, powerful 7-axis VS50 “Versatile Spot” welding robot is uniquely designed to optimize automotive applications using DC spot guns with compact servo actuators. Fast and agile, the VS50 robot can be placed in close proximity to workpieces and other robots to create flexible, high-density layouts, eliminating multiple stations and resulting in shorter production lines an...

Standard version. Anthropomorphous five axes robot is suitable for painting in line. It has been studied to operate where powder and water paint are used. The programming and utilization is extremely simple thanks to its configuration. The five axes robots are used mostly with electrostatic spray gins or in applications where it's not necessary to rotate the paint jet.

Dayton, Ohio — Motoman’s new five-axis MPK2 robot with dynamic, next-generation DXM100 controller provides superior performance in food handling, picking, packing and other high-speed material handling applications, particularly in environments where cleanliness is important. Ready for food applications with National Sanitation Foundation (NSF-H1) certified grease, the MPK2 robot features an IP-67...

The innovative but long established "hollow wrist" technology has been further enhanced on the three models of this family Smart NH4: their entire welding dressing is housed in the forearm rather than externally, as in conventional robots. This solution guarantees an unequalled level of performance and of maintenance costs savings and allows 100% "off-line" robot programming. Technical Features...

Dayton, Ohio — Fast and highly flexible, Motoman’s new 7-axis VA1400 “Versatile Arc” welding robot dramatically increases freedom of movement and maintains proper welding posture at all times.
