Mitsubishi Electric Automation, Inc. has introduced the new R86T6 teach pendant. Particularly, this model evolved from the conventional, high-performance teach pendant to deliver customizable and intuitive functions to OEMs and end users alike.

Mainly, the R86TB dons a 10.1-inch high-definition display. As a result, any function can be easily visible and accessed from the customizable HOME screen or page list. Major functions of MELSOFT RT ToolBox3, Mitsubishi Electric’s PC-based robot programming software, are accessible in the new model. Additionally, these integrated tools provide program support functions, parameter and program screens, 3D monitoring, and more.

Other features of the R86TB Teach Pendant include data analysis and real-time monitoring to perform trouble diagnosis, secure hardware buttons for tactile and consistent operation, improved processing speeds, and security functions. Also, it is compatible with CR800 and CR700 series Controllers. Thus, R86TB allows customers increased visibility and operability to ensure smooth operations and high performance.

“We are very confident that our customers will benefit from the enhanced functionality, durability, and performance that the R86TB provides. The large, high-definition display allows for program revisions without needing to bring a laptop onto the manufacturing floor. We have designed it to be backward and forward compatible so that it can be used on older CR700-controlled robots as well as our current and future generations of robots,” said Patrick Varley, Product Marketing Manager (Robot) at Mitsubishi Electric Automation, Inc.
