In the Yaskawa Motoman series, the RM2-1555SL distinguishes itself as a ferris-wheel positioner tailored for demanding use. Capable of lifting a maximum payload of 1,555 kg, this unit can handle significant workpieces, with a maximum diameter of 1,524 mm. It offers part-span lengths of either 3 m or 4 m to accommodate various operational needs.
The innovative design allows for continuous 360° sweep-axis travel, enabling smooth and unrestricted rotation. The dual orbital trunnion axes ensure that positioning is exceptionally accurate, boasting a precision rating of ±0.1 mm. The servo-driven mechanism across all axes enhances responsiveness and control, allowing for meticulous handling of components.
The RM2-1555SL is designed with a slimmer footprint, measuring 17% narrower than conventional RM2 models, facilitating easier integration into tighter spaces. Users have the option to mount the device either on the floor or overhead, providing versatility in installation.
Service interfaces for both air and DeviceNet are available on either end, streamlining the connectivity and integration with other systems. The unit can also support an impressive weld ground capacity of 800 A at a 100% duty cycle, with an optional upgrade to 1,600 A for more demanding applications. The tooling axis features a rotational speed of 18.9 rpm, enabling rapid positioning as needed during operation.
