The ST R17HS is a high-speed version of ST Robotics’ 5-axis vertically articulated R17 robot arm. The ST R17HS is one of the industry's fastest robots, with standard tool speed more than 4x as fast as the nearest competitor.
The ST R17HS uses state-of-the-art brushless servomotors and boasts an effective reach of 750mm, a repeatability of 0.2mm and a maximum speed after acceleration of 480°/sec in the robot's waist, elbow, hand and wrist, with a shoulder speed of 300°/sec.
The package includes the R17HS robot arm, the new K11R controller, RoboForth II software, intuitive teach pad, simple interfacing with other equipment, cables, manuals, a two-year warranty, and unlimited free technical support. Options include pneumatic, electric, and vacuum grippers, and expandable I/O. As with all ST Robotics products, the manuals and support provided make installation and programming surprisingly easy. This robust, self-contained, industrial robot system can be unpacked and programmed in just a few hours, yet it is capable of the most intricate tasks. Applications include testing, sample handling, and machine feeding. The mean time between failures (MTBF) is 10,000 hours and typically more than a million cycles.
Also available is the R17HSW, a high-speed waist version of the R17 (5-axis) for applications that do not require much speed in a vertical direction but have long X-Y distances requiring long waist moves.
