IAI TTA Tabletop Robot Review: Specs and Uses of the Tabletop Cartesian Robot
Updated: 7 days ago
The IAI TTA is a tabletop cartesian robot for dispensing, screw driving and small assembly tasks. The manufacturer does not publish a price. This review covers its specifications, features and uses.
Quick Verdict
The TTA puts a small cartesian robot and its controller on a bench. Gate-frame versions cover strokes from 200 x 200 to 500 x 500 mm, cantilever versions from 200 x 150 to 500 x 450 mm, with a vertical axis of 100 or 150 mm and an optional rotary axis. Motors are AC servo, in low-lead for payload or high-lead for speed, or stepper with a high-resolution encoder. A free tool turns DXF drawings into programs, which suits dispensing along contours. Encoders are battery-less, so no homing after a stop. Payload, speed and repeatability values appear only as images on the page.

SEL Program Generator
A free PC tool creates programs from DXF files or drawn paths and compares planned and actual paths.
Coordinate Systems
Up to 32 work and 128 tool coordinate systems.
Communication
An optional module adds RS232C or RS485.
