Humid Environment (HE) robots from Stäubli are splashproof

By Lisa Eitel | February 25, 2017

Stäubli Robotics has extended its range of Humid Environment (HE) compatible models. Nearly all six-axis machines (and the FAST picker TP80) are available in HE versions suitable where high humidity, water spray or liquid coolants are prevalent.

Whether used for water jet cutting, for machining or for industrial parts cleaning, the Stäubli HE models are suitable. Likewise, in the food industry (where stringent hygiene standards apply) Stäubli HE robots represent the ideal solution. They can easily be cleaned with detergents and hosed off with a water jet as part of the daily cleaning routine.

Cleanroom variants for all cleanroom classifications

The encapsulated Stäubli six-axis machines cut a fine figure in cleanroom environments. The standard versions of the TX2 and RX series already conform to cleanroom class ISO 5. The optional Cleanroom variants are identified by the CR suffix, which signifies that they comply with the specification of cleanroom class ISO 4. On request, Stäubli will take cleanroom compatibility to the next level and deliver Super Cleanroom versions that meet the stringent requirements of cleanroom class ISO 2.

Stericlean robots in an aseptic environment

With the development of the world’s first Stericlean robot, Stäubli has succeeded in automating aseptic processes in VHP (Vaporized Hydrogen Peroxide) environments. All six-axis TX robot series are now available in Stericlean versions compliant with strict GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) guidelines. Thanks to their special enclosed design, the use of stainless steel in the manufacture of stressed parts and a unique surface coating, these sophisticated machines are able to work uninterrupted in aseptic production areas. This has constituted a breakthrough for robot-based automation in germ-free environments.

Protection against electrostatic discharge (ESD)

Stäubli also provides a perfect remedy to electrostatic discharges, a problem which can be particularly disruptive in electronics manufacturing. All six-axis and SCARA kinematics are available as ESD versions offering optimum protection against the sudden discharge of static electricity.
