Yaskawa Motoman expands painting robot line with two new models

March 12, 2018 by Anna

Two high-speed, six-axis MPX1150 and MPX2600 robots have been added to Yaskawa Motoman’s paint robot line. These models create smooth, consistent finishes for a variety of painting and dispensing applications, says the company.

The compact MPX1150 robot has a straight wrist with 5 kg payload capacity and is designed for painting smaller components. It is suited for mounting a variety of spray guns and small bells.

Its small footprint and slim arm design allow for minimum installation space. An optional location (right, left or bottom) for manipulator cable connection reduces interference with walls.
