OTC DAIHEN FD 6-Axis Robots Review Summary
The FD 6-axis lineup runs from the compact FD-H5 with 5 kg and 866 mm reach to the FD-V130 with 130 kg. Welding is the focus: the FD-B6 and FD-B6L have a hollow, through-arm design that routes the torch cable inside the arm, and the V-series models add arc, TIG, plasma cutting and handling.
Pros
Wide payload range
Through-arm welding designs
Series II performance gains
Complete welding systems from one maker
Cons
Welding-focused range
Who It Is For
It fits fabricators and automotive suppliers building robotic welding cells, and plants needing heavy handling arms from the same supplier.
