How the Motoman HP20 works

The Motoman HP20 is one of the most ver­sa­tile mod­els made by Motoman today. The robot can weld, han­dle mate­r­i­al and remove mate­r­i­al with the best of them. It is used in indus­tries around the world. How­ev­er, it is not just the end-of-arm tool­ing that is impor­tant when look­ing at this robot and its work. It just as impor­tant to look under the prover­bial hood, and see how it runs.

The most impor­tant parts on the HP 20 would prob­a­bly have to be the ser­vo­mo­tors. With­out the ser­vo­mo­tors direct­ing pow­er to the gears of the robot, the robot would not be able to move or per­form process­es effi­cient­ly on the job site. There are four ser­vo­mo­tors, part num­bers SGMRS-12A2B-YR11, SGMRS-13A2A-YR11, SGMRS-06A2B-YR11 and SGMPH-02A2A-YR11, which oper­ate the motor func­tions of the Motoman HP-20.

Anoth­er impor­tant ele­ment to the inner work­ings of the HP20 are the speed reduc­ers that are locat­ed on each axis. The speed reduc­ers, part num­bers HW9381641‑B, HW9381641‑A, HW9280880‑A, HW0381463‑A, HW9381633‑A and HW0382140‑A, are able to slow the out­put from the ser­vo­mo­tors and direct the pow­er to oth­er areas of the robot to make the robot per­form more effectively.

One of the last inter­nal parts impor­tant to the Motoman HP 20’s per­for­mance is the inter­nal wiring, part num­bers HW0171559‑A and HW0270954‑A. The inter­nal wiring is respon­si­ble from run­ning pow­er and infor­ma­tion from the pow­er sup­ply and robot con­troller to the robot itself. With­out the wiring, the robot would not be able to move or do its job.
