Lineup offers 5-axis and 6-axis models.

To meet a wide variety of needs, the 5-axis model "VP-5243" and the 6-axis model "VP-6242," which can handle
multi-directional operations, are offered.

Maximum payload of 3 kg (for 5-axis model)1 and 2.5 kg (for 6-axis model)2

The VP-5243 and the VP-6242 are very powerful for their small size.

Lightweight

The body unit weight is just 13 kg (for 5-axis model). These small and lightweight robots can be carried and installed easily, flexibly responding to changes in plant layout.

Compact design

The footprint is only 160 x 160 mm. The entire body fits into an area of two standard postcards, helping size reduction of facilities.

Low-power servo motor adopted in each axis

An AC servo motor with up to 80 W is adopted in each axis. The total motor capacity is up to 300 W, contributing to energy saving.

Standard equipment includes: air piping for tools (4 lines) and electric wiring (9 core wires).

Can be placed on the floor or suspended from the ceiling.

*1: When the wrist is oriented at more than ±45 degrees with respect to the downward vertical direction, the maximum payload is 2.5 kg (for 5-axis model).
*2: When the wrist is oriented at more than ±45 degrees with respect to the downward vertical direction, the maximum payload is 2.0 kg (for 6-axis model).
