Two-armed robot.

Slim and agile, with human-like flexibility of movement, the dual-arm SDA10 robot is slimmer, stronger and has significantly faster acceleration than the previous DIA10 model. With a shorter link distance between the P-point and flange, the SDA10 provides flexible tool motion and a higher load carrying capacity. Its arms are set forward to maximize work envelope. This design makes the robot suited for assembly, part transfer, machine tending, packaging, and other handling tasks that could only be done by people. It features 15 axes of motion--seven axes per arm, plus a single axis for base rotation. Internally routed cables and hoses reduce interference and maintenance, and make programming easier. Its actuator-based design means that the motor, encoder, reducer, and brake for each robot axis are combined in one package that is smaller than a traditional AC servo motor drive. Advantages include a slim arm profile, lightweight robot body, and high wrist moment and inertia ratings. The robot features a 22.1 lb payload per arm, a 77.6" horizontal reach, and a 56.7" vertical reach per arm, with a repeatability of 0.004". Both robot arms can work together on one task to double the payload or handle heavy, unwieldy parts, trays, or pallets. The two manipulators can perform independent operations at the same time. A dual-arm robot can hold a part with one arm while one arm while performing operations on the part with the other arm, and can also transfer a part from one of its arms to the other with no need to set the part down. The robot is controlled by the NX100 robot controller that features PC architecture, Windows CE programming pendant, and INFORM III programming language.
