TX2-140 Overview

What is TX2-140?

The Stäubli TX2-140 industrial robot is a formidable member of the 6-axis robotic arm series, known for its remarkable speed, rigidity, size, and precision. With a robust payload capacity of up to 40 kg and an impressive maximum reach of 1510 mm, these robots are engineered to excel in a wide range of industrial applications. Notably, they offer optional SIL3-PLe safety functionalities, making them exceptionally fast and safe for human-machine collaboration.

One standout feature of the TX2-140 is its emphasis on reliability and cost-effectiveness. These robots boast consistent reliability, low startup and maintenance requirements, and a "ready to move" concept. Additionally, they do not require batteries on the arm or in the controller, and all subcomponents are easily accessible and exchangeable, contributing to a lower total cost of ownership and faster return on investment.

Stäubli's TX2-140 robots are versatile and adaptable to various industries, including those with sensitive environments. Specialized versions, such as the hygienic-humid (HE) robots for the food industry and cleanroom (CR/SCR) robots for clean environments, expand their utility. Furthermore, Stäubli offers pharmaceutical-grade packages and ESD-compatible robots for electronic assembly, testing, and packaging operations. In conclusion, the TX2-140 industrial robot stands out for its high payload capacity, long reach, safety features, reliability, and adaptability across industries, making it an attractive choice for diverse industrial automation needs.

Title
The first robot unloads from two lanes of cut product onto a single, central conveyor, while orientating each part. The next two robots use vision guided line tracking to pick and place the product into a roll-stock packaging machine. The Food & Dairy washdown environment (caustic high-pressure water) required for direct handling of open product. Robots must integrate well with the vision system, safety system, and packaging machine. Ease of operation and maintenance needs are addressed by the design/layout of the cells.
Pro
The Stäubli SRS 3D design environment reduced programming, validation, and commissioning time. The programming language (VAL3) is easy to understand and yet powerful when needed. The controller is able to communicate with many common fieldbus protocols.
Con
Pendant programming is good for small changes, but not optimized for the main input of logic.

Title
Use of STÄUBLI TX2 40 robotic arm for moving parts of different colors to specific places for each color using the Cognex IS2000-130C industrial vision, then putting the whole chain on multi-storey industrial shelves trying to optimize the movements of the cobot's 6 joints as much as possible.
Pro
Its programming language VAL 3 being close to the C language is really easy to use. This robotic arm has a cable outlet under the foot allowing optimal protection of connections in sensitive environments. It is easy to integrate a machine vision system (e.g. a cognex camera) to use STÄUBLI TX2 40.
Con
I find that on the documentation side there are improvements to be made. Compared to the YASKAWA HC10DTP that I used previously, I quickly noticed a lack of manufacturer's instructions for the STÄUBLI TX2 40.
