ENGEL Cartesian robot Viper Alternatives & Competitors

Yamaha's Gantry type robots are designed with a guide railing at the end of the Y-axis for additional support, providing greater stability and precision during operation. The gantry type robots are available in 2, 3, or 4 axes configurations, allowing for flexibility in application and movement range.

With the gantry type configuration, the Y-axis carriage is supported by two guide rails, one on each side, ensuring stability and accuracy during movement. The guide rails also help to minimize vibration and ensure smooth operation. The additional support provided by the guide rail makes this type of robot ideal for applications that require high precision, such as machining, testing, or inspection.

The Gantry type robots are available in 2, 3, or 4 axes configurations, allowing for a wide range of movement options. The X-axis moves horizontally, while the Y-axis moves vertically along the guide rail, providing a large working area. The Z-axis can also be added for up and down movement, and an optional rotary axis can be added for increased flexibility.

The Gantry type robots are ideal for applications such as CNC machining, assembly, and inspection, where high precision and stability are essential. They are also used in industries such as automotive, aerospace, and electronics, where high accuracy and repeatability are critical for quality control.

Yamaha's Shaft up/down type Cartesian robots are designed to have a Z-axis shaft that can move up and down. These robots are available in 3-axis and 4-axis configurations, making them ideal for a wide range of applications.

The robots have a compact design, with the Z-axis shaft located at the center of the robot's X-Y axis movement. This allows the robot to move in all three dimensions, making it suitable for tasks that require both horizontal and vertical movement.

One of the key features of the Shaft up/down type Cartesian robots is their high-precision control. The Z-axis shaft is capable of moving up and down with a high degree of accuracy, ensuring precise positioning and movement.

The robots are also highly flexible, with a wide range of available stroke lengths and load capacities. This makes them suitable for a variety of applications, from small-scale precision work to larger, heavy-duty tasks.

In addition, the Shaft up/down type Cartesian robots are designed with ease of use in mind. They feature intuitive programming interfaces, allowing for easy setup and operation.

Overall, the Yamaha Shaft up/down type Cartesian robots are a versatile and reliable solution for a wide range of industrial applications, from manufacturing and assembly to inspection and testing.

Yamaha's Moving Arm type Cartesian robots feature a moving Y-axis arm that can extend the reach of the robot to access hard-to-reach areas. The Moving Arm type is available in both 2-axis and 3-axis configurations.

The Moving Arm type Cartesian robots offer a flexible solution for a wide range of applications. The moving arm provides an extended range of motion that is not possible with other Cartesian robot types. This makes the Moving Arm type ideal for applications that require the robot to access workpieces at different angles or in hard-to-reach areas.

The 2-axis Moving Arm type is capable of moving in the X and Y directions, while the 3-axis type can move in X, Y, and Z directions. The moving arm can be extended or retracted to adjust the robot's reach, and the robot can be programmed to move in a wide range of patterns and sequences.

Moving Arm type Cartesian robots are commonly used in assembly, material handling, and pick-and-place applications. They are particularly useful in applications that require the robot to reach over or around obstacles, such as conveyor belts, other machines, or complex workpieces.

Compact and light: the new wrist axes
Servo wrist axes optimized in design and weight increase productivity by saving process times.

Fast and flexible with the central media portal
Central media supply allows simple gripper change and provides modular expandability of gripper functions.

High-performance control cabinet concept ensures high availability
Control of pneumatic and vacuum valves and compact main board for I/O signal processing

The XR-Series robots feature a highly efficient design that combines a ceiling-mounted, compact SCARA robot with a long-stroke Cartesian robot. As a result, the XR-Series robots use up to 40 percent less valuable factory floor space than conventional SCARA robots. In addition, they can operate in many applications without the need of a conveyor, saving up to 20 percent in capital-equipment costs. The XR-Series robots have a reach of 200 mm to 300 mm and an x-axis stroke of 450 mm to 1,060 mm, with a cycle time of 0.53 seconds, repeatability to within ±0.015 mm and payload capacity of 5 kg. ANSI and CE compliance allows global deployment.

The F8000 series of robots are servo motor-driven, ball screw design, gantry robots. A heavy duty aluminum structure prevents flexing and vibration while maintaining functionality. Ideal for conveyorfed applications.

Where applications require all moving axes to be above the workstation, the F8000 series provides the capability.

Powerful robots: high-performance portal systems
High-performance portal systems from operate on two or three linear axes in cubic space. The gantry robots are designed and manufactured in the company’s own production facility in Gescher-Hochmoor.

Portals show their strength, for example, when heavy parts within a line are lifted across the entire work area in a way that is gentle on the product and material, in order to pass several machining centers.

TRAPO is a specialist in portal robots from its own stainless steel production, developed and produced for special applications in areas with special requirements for hygiene and corrosion resistance.



Portal palletizers operate over production lines
Powerful portals lift the heaviest workpieces. As a result, no additional space is taken up for industrial palletizers within given production. TRAPO portals reliably perform palletizing and depalletizing tasks for various stackable workpieces. Their height is adapted to the spatial conditions.

The portal palletizers move at dynamic speeds that are gentle on the product when picking up and placing high payloads from the conveyor line.
Different, individual robot grippers are possible in combinations for the portal palletizer – developed by TRAPO for the respective task.

Advantages:

GENTLE PRODUCT HANDLING

SUITABLE FOR VARIOUS PACKAGES AND LOAD CARRIERS
