The RCP-Delta is available in four models that support payloads up to 3 kg, with X/Y operating ranges of 500, 800, 1,100 and 1,300 mm and an optional continuous rotation about the Z axis (yaw)

The RCP-Delta is available in four models that support payloads up to 3 kg, with X/Y operating ranges of 500, 800, 1,100 and 1,300 mm and an optional continuous rotation about the Z axis (yaw). The robot can sustain 200 pick-and-place operations/min., with peak acceleration on the order of 15 g. With absolute encoders on each motor, the robot never has to be referenced, even after a loss of power. The control system is based on the company’s A3200 machine controller, whose networked, distributed architecture provides a scalable platform upon which additional robots, I/O and positioning devices can be integrated.
