Productive Robotics OB7 Max 8 Overview
The Productive Robotics OB7 Max 8 is a 7-axis collaborative robot with an 8 kg payload and a 1700 mm reach, the longest in the OB7 family. Its seventh joint lets the arm work around obstacles and into machine enclosures that a 6-axis arm cannot reach. Positioning is repeatable to ±0.1 mm, and the 58 kg arm mounts on a 250 mm flange. Tasks are taught by demonstration from a tablet without writing code, and the control computer communicates over EtherNet/IP, TCP/IP and Modbus.
