The second robot of this new generation combines innovative drive technology with intuitive operation and AI Copilot. Horst1000 G2 is quick to install and program - it requires no expert knowledge - and also offers the best lifetime costs on the market.

With a payload of up to 16 kg, Horst1000 G2 is the most powerful robot in its size class on the market. Like the Horst1500, the robot is characterized by a unique, patented drive technology that is maintenance-free and particularly cost-efficient, thus significantly reducing lifetime costs. A 6-year warranty on the drive train underlines the reliability and cost-effectiveness of the system.

"Our technology combines innovation and economic added value to make automation accessible to a broad user base," says Jens Riegger, CEO of fruitcore robotics. "Companies that rely on our robots achieve an impressive ROI after just a few months and gain a clear competitive advantage."

Intelligent control and safe human-machine interaction

One highlight of the new Digital Robot Generation is the AI Copilot integrated into the control software, which equips the robot with cognitive capabilities. This technology allows users to communicate with the robot in real time and solve complex tasks quickly and precisely with AI support. The AI Copilot not only simplifies support, but also helps with specific programming tasks. This further increases flexibility and significantly reduces dependence on experts.

In addition, Horst1000 G2 has advanced safety solutions that are designed for safe use with humans. Like all robots from fruitcore robotics, the robot can be operated with safely reduced speed and safety sensors, even without a safety fence. It is also available as a ready-to-use solution kit that meets all safety requirements and saves valuable time for CE compliance.

Optimized for machine loading and harsh environments

With a reach of 1141 mm and a load capacity of up to 16 kg, the Horst1000 G2 is optimized for tasks in machine loading and parts handling. It moves heavy tools and components effortlessly across the entire work area. The robot is equipped with IP54 protection. This makes it ideal for harsh production environments.

Thanks to its compact design, Horst1000 G2 can move close to machines and reach deep into the machines, which significantly increases flexibility in confined production environments. The robot processes trays with a working area of up to 450 x 900 mm or in a square shape of up to 520 x 520 mm.

Intelligent software features allow different machine production programs to be flexibly managed for different work orders. The smooth integration of machine functions such as automatic door opening and communication with clamping devices offer a particularly efficient solution for CNC machines. In addition, the improved axis acceleration increases efficiency when handling heavy parts and when using overhanging grippers.

Ready for immediate use for CNC machines in metal processing

In combination with the automation module for loading and unloading machines, Horst1000 G2 offers a ready-to-use solution that has been specially developed for loading and unloading machines. "This enables rapid implementation in production lines, with only 15% of the usual project effort required," explains Jens Riegger. Thanks to existing interfaces to most CNC machine manufacturers, the robot can be seamlessly integrated.

In the metalworking medical technology sector, the robot is used to manufacture surgical instruments, where it efficiently loads and unloads CNC milling or turning machines or prepares production processes. It is also used in the metalworking automotive industry for loading and unloading machines or ensures consistently high quality in measuring and testing technology tasks.
