Updated: 7 days ago
The Shibaura Machine THL1200 is the longest arm in Shibaura's lightweight THL SCARA series. The manufacturer does not publish a price. This review covers its specifications, features and uses.
Quick Verdict
The THL1200 extends the THL series to 1,200 mm for wide work areas. It carries up to 10 kg, rated 2 kg, with a 300 mm vertical stroke, and completes the standard cycle in 0.58 s. Repeatability of ±0.05 mm in X-Y is looser than the shorter models, as expected at this reach. It weighs only 40 kg and draws 1.4 kVA, which is low for a robot of this size.
