ST Robotics R12 5-Axis Articulated Robot Arm

• ST Robotics R12 5-Axis Articulated Robot Arm
• Features a 5-axis articulated robot arm w/ 500 mm reach
• Offers easy mounting of tools, grippers, sensors, etc
• Comes fully enclosed; pneumatics and wiring go through the arm

The ST Robotics R12 5-Axis Articulated Robot Arm is a self-contained five-axis vertically articulated robot arm system designed as a cost-effective solution for benchtop automation. Possible applications include testing, sample handling, machine feeding, etc. The hand ends with a mounting plate to which can be mounted one of the low-cost grippers below (sold separately), vacuum pickups or your own device.

It is a very low-cost entry to robotics, fast, accurate and reliable and easy to program yet capable of the most complex tasks. It has a useful 500 mm reach. Like the ST Robotics R17 5-Axis Articulated Robot Arm, it is a 5 axis articulated robot arm but with a 500 mm reach.

It is lighter, faster and quieter, using high-efficiency digital motors driving through steel reinforced polyurethane timing belts. Optional incremental optical encoders provide exceptional integrity as well as safety (see below).

The ST Robotics R12 5-Axis Articulated Robot Arm package includes the K11 controller that is simple and reliable using a partnership of CPU and DSP microprocessors and compact micro-stepping drives. ROBOFORTH II embedded software gets you started easily, yet allows the most complex motions, interfaces, and peripherals to be programmed, assisted by ROBWIN project manager that brings everything together on one Windows screen.
