"Motoman's
EH-series 'Expert Handling' robots set a new standard for speed with a large
robot," said a company spokesperson. "Compared to general-purpose robots, the
EH-series offers up to a 22% increase in speed depending on model. These
high-speed, high payload robots are specifically designed for high duty cycle
material handling and offer superior performance in machine tending and material
handling applications. Large work envelopes and the ability to bend over
backwards, allow tools to be stored behind the robot, allowing better clearance
for maintenance. Five EH models are available. These robots include an IP67
rated wrist for protection in machining environments.
"All EH-series robots are controlled by the high-performance NX100 controller. The NX100 offers unmatched multiple axes control capability to maximize flexibility while minimizing cost of integration and eliminating risk of robot collisions. Dual-channel safety features include enhanced E-stop functionality, integrated speed monitoring, manual brake release switches, and compliance with both ANSI/RIA R1506-1999 and Canadian safety standards.
"The NX100 controller offers unmatched connectivity through standard Ethernet and other network options, including DeviceNet, ControlNet, Profibus-DP, and EtherNet/IP. The programming pendant features a color touch-screen display that can be configured as a custom HMI (Human Machine Interface) with buttons and status indicators.
