The Inner workings of the Motoman UP50

The Motoman UP50 robot, a mate­r­i­al han­dling and mate­r­i­al removal robot, has many parts that work as a team to per­form its appli­ca­tions. These parts include the tim­ing belts, the speed reduc­ers, the AC ser­vo­mo­tors and the inter­nal cables.

Every Motoman UP-50 robot has tim­ing belts on the R and B axes, part num­bers 250S5M525 and 250S5M475, which syn­chro­nize the move­ments of the robot. This is impor­tant to the flu­id­i­ty and the func­tion­al­i­ty of the UP50.

There are also speed reduc­ers on each axis of the UP 50: The S‑axis, HW9381671‑A; the L‑axis, HW9381465‑B; the U‑axis, HW9381670‑A; the R‑axis, HW9381640‑A; the B‑axis, HW9381636‑A; and the T‑axis, HW9381635‑A. These reduc­ers slow down the ener­gy com­ing into the robot, and put a low­er speed on the output.

The move­ment of the robot’s axes depends on the Motoman UP 50’s ser­vo­mo­tors, part num­bers HW9381772‑A, HW9381261‑A, HW9380938‑A and HW9381363‑A. The robot is depen­dent on these motors for their pre­ci­sion and speed, which increas­es the manufacturer’s productivity.

Final­ly, the UP50 from Motoman has inter­nal cabling, part num­ber HW9171781‑A, which directs pow­er and infor­ma­tion to the robot. The inter­nal cabling, as opposed to exter­nal cabling, allows for less main­te­nance, which saves mon­ey for the man­u­fac­tur­er over time.
