New robot range launched
Austria-based Wittmann Group has launched new models of its linear robot range. Available worldwide, the revamped W831 linear robot offers processors the opportunity to automate the production of even heavier payloads on middle-size moulding machines. It can be equipped with vertical strokes ranging from 1,000 mm, 1,200 mm to 1,400 mm.
The horizontal stroke starts with 2,000 mm for standard configurations and can be extended up to 5,000 mm. The possibility of lengthening the Z-axis up to 5,000 mm is for example enabling a mounting in so-called L-configuration and this, in turn, is offering the possibility of clamp-end placement of the parts. Furthermore, the robot can also be mounted in T-configuration, working the space on both sides of the molding machine.
A total of three highly dynamic servo drives for the main axes are supplied as standard with the W831. The device can be equipped with additional rotational servo drives for further degrees of freedom in movement, when becoming necessary for more complex post-processing steps. If additional digital or analog inlets or outlets are needed for the control of extra components, the W831 can be equipped with additional flexible I/O modules. For this, the R8.2 robot control is providing an integrated real-time network - thus the I/O modules can be easily and optimally placed.
