Updated: 7 days ago
The Shibaura Machine TV1000 is a six-axis robot with a one-metre arm, offered in fast and high-payload versions. The manufacturer does not publish a price. This review covers its specifications, features and uses.
Quick Verdict
The TV1000 comes in two flavours on the same 47 kg arm, which Shibaura calls one of the lightest in its class. The TV1000 is the fast one: 5 kg maximum payload, 9.61 m/s composite speed, a standard cycle of about 0.6 s and ±0.03 mm repeatability. The TV1000H trades speed for strength: 10 kg maximum, 7.46 m/s, about 0.9 s and ±0.04 mm. Both reach 1,090 mm and run on the TS3100 controller. Note that the maker's table heads both columns TV1000; the second is taken to be the TV1000H.
