TM Robotics unveils TH180 mini SCARA robot starter kit
To encourage manufacturing companies to install their first robot, TM Robotics is developing a portable starter pack, which can be set up in under 15 minutes and is sufficiently easy to use that a technician will be able to write and run a program after only an hour of tuition.
The starter pack is based on a Toshiba Machine TH180 mini SCARA robot. This unit features an arm length of 180mm, payload of 2kg and repeatability of +/-0.01mm. The robot is suitable for use in laboratory work or electronics manufacture, and also acts as a representative of the entire Toshiba Machine range of SCARA robots.
Also included in the starter kit is a TS1000 controller, which offers four-axis simultaneous control, absolute encoders and can be programmed in SCOL, a language similar to BASIC. The unit comes complete with a teach pendant for easy control access, and either pneumatic or electric grippers and a number of safety cubes for use in sample applications.
The entire starter pack and the specially designed workspace can fit inside two carry cases, making it extremely portable.
