VP Series 5- and 6-axis Articulated Robots

The ultracompact VP Series 5- and 6-axis articulated robots offer the highest speed and repeatability in their class. Their small footprint of only 160 x 160 mm (200 mm dia. for the aseptic models) saves valuable facility space and makes integration easy, yet despite their size, they have a large payload capacity. In addition, their highly efficient motors use a maximum of only 80 W of power each, and all motors combined use a maximum of only 300 W, resulting in significant energy savings. The VP Series robots are ANSI/CE compliant, making them suitable for global deployment.
