The robot is built in explosion-proof execution (CENELEC ex-pi and ex-i safety regulations),
with 6 controlled axis, electrically driven.
The control unit is constituted by a Personal Computer, with Windows NT4 as operative system, to which a serial connection board RS 485 is connected. No other extra board is foreseen, with great advantage for the system simplicity.
The R2006 robot arms (VA____xHA___mm.) are made of carbon fibre alloy to reduce the inertia of the objects to be handled in the programming stage; besides the arms weight is balanced with pneumatic cylinders used to minimise the handling strain on the whole trajectory.
At last the robot's wrist geometry allows it to turn its wrist in all directions independently from the inclination of the arms, making it easier to program the painting of hard-to-reach surfaces.
