Large Capacity 6-Axis Robots for Machine Tending

RV-35F, RV-50F, and RV-70F robots from Mitsubishi handle higher payloads requiring longer reaches in CNC machine tending, large material handling jobs and assembly work.

Posted: June 17, 2016

RV-35F, RV-50F, and RV-70F robots handle and robotically automate heavier parts and tooling. Their long reach arm can extend up to 2,050 mm to spread tasks farther apart and accommodate larger parts and processes.

Addressing the need for higher capacity robots to meet the demands of today’s advanced automated manufacturing processes, Mitsubishi Electric Automation, Inc. (MEAU; Vernon Hills, IL) introduces the latest in their line of Electric RV-F Series 6-axis robots in 35 kg, 50 kg and 70 kg payloads that address applications requiring higher payloads and longer reaches, including CNC machine tending, large material handling and assembly applications. These new robots are especially well suited to automotive, food and beverage, and electronic manufacturing. Key benefits of the RV-35F, RV-50F, and RV-70F robots include:

  • Higher payloads allow applications that require heavier parts and tooling to be robotically automated.
  • Long reach arm: Tasks can be spread farther apart and can accommodate larger parts and processes with the ability to extend up to 2,050 mm.
  • Seamless integration with the Mitsubishi Electric Factory Automation (MELFA) hardware ecosystem – easily connects to MELFA’s extensive offering of integrated automation products
  • Multiple environmental protection ratings are available in IP40 and IP67 protection ratings to conform to various application requirements.

“Commanded by the MEFLA Basic V programming language and coupled with our optional iQ control platform, these high capacity robots are as intelligent as they are strong,” said Alex Bonaire, their robot product manager. “They easily automate production or processes in complex manufacturing applications that require large robots.” Information on these new RV-35F, RV-50F, and RV-70F robots and a comprehensive line of factory automation products and solutions is available by clicking here.
