From Yaskawa-Motoman comes highly reliable six-axis HC10DTP and HC20DTP collaborative robots that enrich easy capability for Yaskawa’s HC-Series line. They feature hand-guided programming that allows users to direct teach points without a pendant. Their ISO-standard tool flange and electrical connections facilitate a plug and play approach for easy deployment of the robot system.

HC10DTP and HC20DTP are ideal for a wide variety of collaborative applications, including assembly, dispensing, machine tending, material handling, packaging and welding. They enable humans to safely work with robots.

Yaskawa Motoman is a group company of Yaskawa Electric Corp. of Japan.

Integrated Technologies, Features

The Power and Force Limiting (PFL) technology constantly monitors force to quickly and safely react to contact. Meanwihle, the advanced pinchless geometry provides the utmost safety. A thru-arm Category 6 Ethernet cable, I/O cable and dual air lines eliminate external utilities while offering fast, safe and easy setup of a wide variety of communication options for tooling.

Made of cast aluminum for durability, both robots are IP67-rated and equipped for use in damp or splash-prone environments. Each model features an easy-to-clean surface, allowing utilization in sanitary environments where wipe or wash is required. NSF H1 certified food-grade grease is included as standard, enabling use in settings where there is a possibility of incidental food contact.

They meet established safety standards (ISO 13849-1) and comply to ISO TS15066. Each robot offers four modes of collaborative operation and can easily shift between collaborative speed in PFL mode or full speed in industrial mode. These features optimize cycle times based on risk assessment and process requirements.

HC10DTP has a 10kg payload capacity, 1,379mm maximum reach, 1,200mm effective reach and ±0.05mm repeatability. HC20DTP has a 20kg payload capacity, 1,900mm maximum reach, 1,700mm effective reach and ±0.05mm repeatability. With an appropriate-sized riser, the HC20DTP robot is capable of loading or unloading a 40 × 48inch pallet (up to 80-inches tall) without an elevator.

Installation is quick and efficient. A single cable is all that is needed to connect the manipulator to the controller, resulting in easy setup and reduced expenses for maintenance and spare parts inventory.

YRC1000 Controller

Both robots are controlled by the high-performance YRC1000 controller that is built to a global standard. It does not require a transformer for input voltages ranging from AC 380  to 480V. With a highly compact cabinet (598W × 490H × 427D mm), the YRC1000 uses a standard lightweight teach pendant with intuitive programming. The Smart Pendant featuring Smart Frame patented technology is available as an option.
