Motoman MH600 from Yaskawa is tailored to the needs of classic handling and general applications. The flexible 6-axis robot offers a maximum payload of 600 kg and a working range of 2942 mm. It is equipped with a parallel joint design and robust bearings, which ensures strength, stability and rigidity even with loads with a high moment of rotation and inertia, as well as smooth rotation of the arm. According to the supplier, the robot is particularly suitable for handling large and heavy workpieces and for heavy-duty machining such as grinding or milling. Other features include a particularly rigid wrist and a high section modulus. The robot is controlled by the DX200, which reduces the number of robot cables from three to two.
