With Yaskawa Motoman’s introduction of HC20XP, collaborative robots can now be employed for these upstream food processing tasks.
Description:
In March 2020, Yaskawa Motoman released the HC20XP, which it described as the robotics industry’s first fully collaborative robot with an IP67-rating. The single-armed, cast aluminum, a 6 DoF (degrees-of- feedom) HC20XP is engineered to operate continuously in damp or splash-prone environments. The robot’s easy-to-clean surface makes it suitable for use in sanitary environments. NSF H1 food-grade grease is included as standard, allowing the HC20XP to be used in settings where there is a possibility of incidental food contact.
