Motoman's newest dual-arm robot, the
SDA10D, isn't as burly as the
DA20. This sleek, smooth moving robot is designed to occupy only as much room as a human. Ideal for high-speed
assembly line and multi-process work, this model is also more affordable than its predecessors.
How does the
Motoman Slim, Dual Arm robot achieve its slender build?
Motoman designed
new, compact actuators that allow this robot's shoulders to take up 2/3 the space. Each joint actuator has a motor, encoder, reducer, and brake.
Motoman made this package smaller - flattening each joint. The result is a lightweight, compact arm with high wrist inertia and moment. The
SDA10 can move 2/3rds faster. Each arm can handle a 10kg payload.
The Slim, Dual-Arm 10 robot is built with a total of 15 axes -seven in each arm, one at the base. The arms are situated closer to the front of the robot torso to increase the
work envelope. Each arm can reach 1,970mm horizontally and 1,440mm vertically. Its cabling is routed internally for simplified programming and greater safety. The SDA10 is controlled by Motoman's latest - the
NX100.
Dual-arm robots offer many advantages. Not least of these is simplified
EOAT. Because of the dexterity and coordination achieved with dual-arm technology, there is less need for custom fixturing and constant tool changing.
