Dual-Arm Robot

Slim and agile, with human-like flexibility of movement, Motoman's new dualarm 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 more flexible tool motion and a higher load carrying capacity. Its arms are set forward to maximize work envelope. The SDA10 features 15 axes of motion (7 axes per arm, plus a single axis for base rotation). Internally routed cables and hoses reduce interference and maintenance, making programming easier.

The SDA10's actuator-based design means that the motor, encoder, reducer and brake for each robot axis are combined in one small, lightweight yet powerful package that is significantly 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 space-efficient, highly flexible SDA10 robot features a 10kg (22.1 lb) payload per arm, a 1,970mm (77.6") horizontal reach and 1,440mm (56.7") vertical reach per arm, with a repeatability of ±0.1mm (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 Motoman dual-arm robot can hold a part with 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 ability to use dual independent arms to process parts reduces the need for expensive custom fixturing and allows end-of-arm tooling to be simple and less costly.

Also on display will be the EA1800N Expert Arc welding robot; the highspeed EPX2050 robot; and the SIA20 (slim, individual arm) robot.
