R17 Robot Arm

R17 (Deucaleon): Low cost bench-top 750mm 5-axis general purpose articulated robot arm

R17 is a low cost entry to robotics, fast, accurate and reliable and easy to program. It has a long reach and therefore a larger and much more useful workspace than comparable machines. The mechanics are simple and phenomenally reliable, there being R17 Mk1s out there which have been running 3 shifts a day for ten years without failure, in fact we give a 2 year warranty. The R17 is a complete self-contained five axis vertically articulated robot arm system designed as a cost effective solution for processes requiring long reach or difficult access. Applications include product testing, sample handling, parts handling, machine feeding, welding, spraying, sound measurement and many more. It is easy to apply and program yet is capable of the most intricate tasks.

R17 is supplied ready to run -- robot, controller, all cables, ROBWIN Windows project management software, on-screen manuals.
