Panasonic Handling Robot Series Review: Specs and Uses of the Handling Robots for Welding Cells
Updated: 7 days ago
Panasonic's handling robots move and hold parts for its welding robots. The manufacturer does not publish a price. This review covers its specifications, features and uses.
Quick Verdict
These robots extend Panasonic welding cells. The LA-1800 G4 carries 26 kg over 1,801 mm, the BX100N 100 kg over 2,200 mm, the BXP210L 210 kg over 2,597 mm, and the RS015X 15 kg over a long 3,150 mm. Their key feature is the Harmonizer function: the handling robot moves the part while a welding robot welds, keeping the torch-to-work relationship constant. They use the same controller size as Panasonic's welding robots, include brake release units on every axis and support external axes. Repeatability per model is unclear on the page.
