Brooks Automation PreciseFlex 400 Alternatives & Competitors

The Brooks Automation Direct Drive 6-Axis is a robotic arm designed for use in a variety of industrial automation applications. It has six degrees of freedom, allowing for complex movements and positioning. The direct drive technology in the robot provides high precision, speed, and accuracy in its motion control, making it well-suited for tasks such as material handling, assembly, and inspection.

The Brooks Automation PreciseFlex DD4 6-axis is a collaborative robot that offers the precision and repeatability of traditional robots with the ease of use of popular collaborative robots. With direct-drive motors in the base and elbow and a gear belt drive for the Z axis, the PreciseFlexTM offers the benefits of both traditional and collaborative robots. The patented design allows the robots to move at speeds similar to human movement while still adhering to ISO collaborative robot standards for safety.

The cylindrical working volume of these robots requires a smaller footprint in the factory and the design allows for higher tool speed motions with lower kinetic energy. The controls and power supplies are located inside the robot, making it ideal for mobile applications with a reduced overhanging moment. Soft foam covers are also included to cushion collisions and protect operators.

The PreciseFlex 100 by Brooks Automation is a unique collaborative robot that offers an economical solution for table top applications. Its lightweight design and compact size make it easy to install and integrate into a workcell, with just an AC power cord and an Ethernet cable needed. The robot comes with 2-axes (XZ) or 3-axes (XYZ) and can be mounted above existing equipment and work areas. The controller, power supplies, and wiring are built into the robot's structure, reducing integration time and costs. This collaborative Cartesian design allows for the creation of cost-effective and compact workcells, making it a perfect solution for production setups.
