December 5, 2012 - Toshiba announces THL300 and THL400 SCARA Robots. With arm lengths of 300mm and 400mm respectively, these THL robots fall into the class of small SCARA robots, with a 5kg payload capacity.
The THLs are equipped with lightweight die cast aluminum arms. A lighter robot can reduce costs for system integrators, as the THL Series requires minimal supporting and vibration-suppression elements.
Another benefit to the lightweight construction of this series is reduced energy-consumption. THL models consume up to 20% less power than the company's other robots. This contributes to improved overall efficiency of the entire system.
Also included in the THL are less complex, easy-to-maintain gearboxes and motors. The THL’s high RPM motor results in the highest speeds in its class compared to the company's other SCARA robots of similar size. THL300 and THL400 cycle times (with 2 kg load) are 0.48s.
Low-cost and lightweight THL Series SCARA Robots are ideal for price-conscious end-users, and system integrators looking to incorporate automation.
The THL300 and THL400 are ideal for small parts handling and assembly, including cellular phones, medical devices, pharmaceuticals, small automotive parts and consumer products.
