Presto. Forte. Artis.
Nachi Robotic Systems Inc. recently organized its robots into three classes, each with an elegant title.
Nachi's new robot names offer a
new perspective on robots.
Nachi's new titles describe robots using musical and artistic terms.
Presto
The Presto group includes the quick, robust robots. It includes the
VS,
MV, MA,
SH, ST, and
SG series, as well as
SC lightweight robots. These robots offer payloads from 5 kg to 200kg. The musical term "presto" comes from Latin words for quick and at hand.
Forte
The Forte group is comprised of
SC Heavyweight robots. This powerful series handles a wide assortment of applications. Payloads in the Forte group range from 300-700kg. This musical term is synonymous with loud/strong/powerful and has Latin and Italian roots.
Nachi sees this group of robots as artists. Capable of intricate applications and
handling applications, these clean-rated robots work with delicate materials like glass. The SH133C, SH166C and SJ series are included in the Artis grouping.
