Handling Robots
23 arms for handling, machine tending and assembly, 7 to 360 kg payload and 712 to 3444 mm reach — the widest range we carry. Six axes reach a part from any angle, which is what separates them from four-axis palletizing and SCARA robots. The RA21-70(T5) is the exception: five axes, 70 kg, 2130 mm, listed by the factory for handling, assembly and grinding — without the sixth axis the tool cannot rotate about its own axis.
Not sure which model fits?
Send the part weight, the reach you need and the cycle. We will name the model — and say plainly if a robot is not the right answer for it.
Material handling robots, also known as manipulator robots or robotic arms, move parts between machines, conveyors, presses and pallets. The RA series spans 23 models from 7 to 360 kg payload with reach from 712 to 3444 mm — the widest range in the CRP catalogue.
Six-axis kinematics allows the tool to approach from any angle, which handling frequently requires: reaching into a machine, tilting a part to clear a fixture, placing at an angle. Where the approach is always vertical and the part flat, a SCARA or a four-axis palletizer does the job; for stacking, a four-axis palletizing robot is faster than a six-axis arm.
Applications run from small-part transfer to press-to-press transfer and foundry work. The heaviest models are the RA26-220, RA32-280 and RA28-360, with 220, 280 and 360 kg payload.
