Hirata CR-R0820CL Review: Features and Uses of the Large Glass Substrate Transfer Robot
Updated: 7 days ago

The Hirata CR-R0820CL is a robot that moves large glass panels between machines in display factories. The manufacturer does not publish a price. This review covers its specifications, features and uses.
Quick Verdict
Display panels are made on huge glass sheets, and moving them needs robots with very long, stiff vertical axes. The CR-R0820CL handles 7th to 8.5th generation glass up to 2200 x 2500 mm and lifts it up to 5000 mm on a twin-mast Z axis for rigidity and precision. A linked arm design reduces the rotation diameter, so one robot can serve several machines, and a regenerative power unit lowers energy use. Payload, speed and accuracy are not stated.
