The typical industrial robot has six axes of flexibility. However, some of Motoman Robotics' material handling robots stray from the norm and achieve extraordinary performance with a five axis construction.
Yaskawa Motoman Robotics' 5 Axis MPK2
The MPK2 is a five axis robot designed to perform high-speed material handling applications. This nimble and slim robot has a light 2kg payload and compact base. Its wrist is capable of moving 2,000 degrees per second. The MPK2 5-axis robot offers a generous 900mm horizontal reach and exceptional flexibility. 
Safe for food handling jobs, the MPK2 robot features stainless steel axis covers and EOAT flange, plus an IP67 rating. It has National Sanitations Foundation certified grease and internally routed cabling.
Three 5-Axis Motoman Robotics Palletizers:
Five axes of movement provide necessary stability and agility for palletizing applications. Motoman Robotics has come out with three distinct generations of 5-axis palletizers, the SP80, "Expert Palletizing" EPL80, and most recently the "Master Palletizing" MPL80. Motoman Robotics' palletizers are quick, efficient options for packing, palletizing, and pick and place applications.
These 5-axis Motoman palletizers have 80kg payloads, compact footprints, and wide work envelopes. The SP80 and EPL80 reach a full 2046mm horizontally, while the MPL80 expands the reach to 2061mm.
