R19 (Athena): Low cost bench top 4-axis cylindrical format robot arm
A totally new design of bench top robot, ideal for laboratories as well as many industrial applications. R19 is a low cost entry to bench top robotics, fast, accurate and reliable and easy to program. It is of the cylindrical format with four axes ideally suited to working in a plane around the robot. Like the R17 it is excellent value but is faster and more accurate. The mechanics are incredibly simple and phenomenally reliable; its predecessors have been running 3 shifts a day for a decade without failure, in fact we give a 2 year warranty. It is easy to apply and program yet is capable of the most intricate tasks. You'll find it a joy to use.
Like all ST robots it uses new light weight, high speed, high efficiency stepping motors with encoder feedback. The package includes the new Mk5 controller which again is simple and reliable using a partnership of fast CPU and DSP processors and compact micro-stepping drives. Software is ROBOFORTH II V10 which make this robot really easy to get started with yet the most complex motions, interfaces and peripherals may be programmed, assisted by ROBWIN project manager which brings everything together on one screen. ActiveX modules make it easy to integrate into larger systems. Everyone who uses this system agrees it is the most flexible robot software on the planet.
With programmable speed and acceleration, programmable gripper confirmation and intelligent error handling the R19 will carry your expensive sample quickly and safely without spilling or dropping or leaving you wresting it from the gripper in some peripheral.R19 is supplied ready to run -- robot, controller, all cables, ROBWIN Windows project management software, ActiveX drivers, on-screen manuals.
