MOTOMAN HC30PL COLABORATIVE ROBOT

Yaskawa has introduced the new Motoman HC30PL collaborative robot, which can lift up to 30 kg and has a reach of 1,700 mm (from the centre of rotation of the S/L axis to the centre of rotation of the R/T axis). Because it can be used immediately within its area of operation without the need for additional safety precautions for users, the HC30PL is the perfect cobot for industrial applications.
The manufacturer claims that due to its combination of safe operation and high speed, this cobot is ideal for barrier-free collaborative palletising plants.
Programming is also simplified with the modern “Smart Pendant” control unit. The newly developed Smart Pattern Wizard software guides the operator through the steps to create different palletising patterns. Using some reference points and sample information, the wizard creates the robot program, which can then be easily edited further in the wizard. Anyone who prefers to use traditional programming and professional tools can do so using Teach Pendant and the comprehensive PalletSolver software.
The development of all Yaskawa collaborative robots is governed by the same fundamental principles, which the Motoman HC30PL maintains. The regular teach pendant, easy-to-use smart pendant or manual instructions can be used to operate and program it. The direct programming buttons on the wrist can be used to accept directly taught positions without the need to validate them on the Smart Pendant, making manual guidance programming extremely effective. The easy-to-use Smart Pendant, conventional learning console or manual instructions can be used to operate and program it.
Yaskawa positions this new solution as the best choice for integrating automation processes, following a market trend that sees an increasing need for cobots. The Motoman HC30PL can improve productivity as it can handle large components and multiple parts at once, reducing manufacturing costs and freeing up significant space in manufacturing facilities.
The cobot robot has a range of safety features, such as automatic retraction from a fixed position or cobot retract with motion resume. It also has a high degree of IP67 protection (dust/liquid proof) and food grade grease lubrication on all joints.
The Motoman HC30PL has been designed to operate both safely and safely, and at maximum power and speed. This mixed operation (hybrid robot) allows for excellent cycle times. Cables for the supply of pliers or tools are pre-routed in the arm and exit at the wrist.
The Yaskawa Ecosystem Partner Product Program is a network of peripheral products and complete systems, mainly for palletising cobots. There are currently more than 110 products to choose from. The main focus is on plug & play solutions that can be delivered as a package with complete mechanical, electrical and software integration. Components for the HC30PL are available from many suppliers through the Yaskawa Ecosystem Partner Product Programme.
