Industrial and collaborative robots
Yaskawa's Motoman exceeds its targets
The Motoman HC10 collaborative robot from Yaskawa not only complies with the requirements of the European Machinery Directive (Directive 2006/42/EC). Its YRC1000 controller also fulfills at least Performance Level d Category 3 and thus exceeds the standard specifications.
The Motoman HC 10 with YRC1000 controller is a hybrid robot with a reach of 1.2 meters and a handling weight of ten kilograms, which can be used both as a normal industrial robot and as a collaborative robot. It ensures the required safety in direct contact with the operator thanks to a unique six-fold force and torque monitoring system that enables flexible interaction between the robot and its environment.
From the point of view of German and European safety standards, the Motoman HC10 can be used as a robot with power and force limitation in the 4th collaboration mode in accordance with the technical specification ISO TS15066.
Suitable for collaborative and industrial robot applications
Thanks to its design, the Motoman HC10, which was first presented as a prototype in 2016, is a powerful example of a collaborative robot. Tailored to the application, it does not require any additional protective measures, such as a protective housing, which saves space and costs. It can be installed flexibly and is therefore possible at different workstations and in different concepts.
In addition to the safety aspects, the design of the HC10 focused on user-friendly operation. Programming can optionally be carried out directly on the robot via the "Easy Teaching Hub". And if the robot stops at a specifically set contact, the movement can be reactivated directly on the manipulator. The robot arm has been designed with ergonomic and collaborative aspects in mind. In particular, there are no sharp edges or other interfering contours and potential pinch points have been consistently eliminated.
Last but not least, the Motoman HC10 can be used as a hybrid robot in collaborative operation as well as a fully-fledged industrial robot. This means that if no direct contact with the user is required, the robot can be operated at full speed. as
