The newest robot in Yaskawa’s PL series, the PL800, offers an 800kg payload capacity, 3,159mm horizontal reach, and 3,024mm vertical reach. The robot’s parallel-link structure provides strength and stabilization of heavy loads. The T-axis features a 100mm pass-through to facilitate connections to the end-of-arm tool, as well as high allowable moment of inertia to ensure unbalanced loads are handled effectively. Connecting the manipulator to the controller is done via a single cable, while compressed air lines and cables are routed internally from the base to the end-of-arm tool. A cable installation tube facilitates fieldbus routing to the upper arm and/or gripper. The PL800, which offers an IP54-rated wrist and body as standard, can be floor-mounted and controlled by the YRC1000 controller. It features a cabinet measuring 598 x 490 x 427mm. The PL800 is available with Yaskawa’s PalletSolver software for offline creation of palletizing patterns.
