TX2-40 Overview

What is TX2-40?

The Stäubli TX2-40 industrial robot is a part of the next-generation 6-axis robotic arm series renowned for their speed, rigidity, size, and precision. With a payload capacity of up to 2 kg and a maximum reach of 515 mm, these robots are versatile and adaptable to various industries, including sensitive environments such as pharmaceutical and electronics manufacturing.

One standout feature is their compatibility with NSF H1 food oil, ensuring they can be used safely in food-related applications without compromising performance. Additionally, the patented JCS smart gearbox, specially designed for compact robots like the TX2-40, contributes to their light and rigid structure, enhancing their efficiency in various tasks.

These robots offer optional SIL3-PLe safety functionalities, making them not only fast and precise but also among the safest industrial robots. With features like safe limited speed, safe stop, safe zones, safe tool, and safe touch, they facilitate high productivity while ensuring human-machine collaboration in a secure environment. This combination of speed, precision, and safety makes the TX2-40 a valuable choice for industries seeking efficient and secure automation solutions.

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.
