About Hsr048/Hsr050/Hsr060 Industrial Robot

HSR048, HSR050 and HSR060 are horizontal multi-joint industrial robots, also known as Scara robots. Each robot holds a hand at the arm tip, so the machine can be adapted to many tasks and supports automation and labor saving in production plants. The arms extend from a stable base and become slimmer toward the tip, which lowers weight and inertia and allows stable high-speed motion. The organic form recalls the human body and makes fast movement less intimidating for workers on the production line. The compact body helps reduce the size of the equipment.

Unique Properties
These are horizontal, multi-joint industrial robots (SCARA robots) with hands mounted on their tips to adapt flexibly to a variety of work. These robots contribute to automation and labor saving in production plants. These are new SCARA robot series models developed by DENSO Wave. They provide top-of-class performance levels in compact body sizes and contribute to reduced equipment size.
Dimensions & Packaging
Arm length (1st arm + 2nd arm) 480mm (205mm + 275mm), 550mm (275mm + 275mm), 650mm (375mm + 275mm), maximum payload: 8kg, body weight: 33kg, body height: 488mm (excluding shaft height) , Maximum synthesis speed: 7540mm / s, 8000mm / s, 8850mm / s, Variation: Cleanliness: ISO class 3, Dust and drip-proof performance: IP65

Production Technology
Since we thought that the influence of inertia could be suppressed by reducing the weight of the tip, we adopted an arm that was powerfully extended from a stable base and became more delicate toward the tip. As a result, stable high-speed operation and design innovation were realized.
In addition, the entire product was constructed with an organic design that resembles the human body so that high-speed operation does not give a sense of intimidation or anxiety to workers working on the production line.
Design Challenge
The aim was to create the fastest SCARA robot. Initially, however, the expectations of the designer were only to renovate the appearance of the predecessor. I felt that the previous model's structure did not embody the fastest spec, so I proposed an ideal form of the SCARA robot including a renovation of the whole structure first.
Research
We researched most of SCARA robots in the world through internet and world wide robot exhibitions. Then we realized that we have to change every legacy structure to make robot faster.
Inspiration
Conceived from the structure of the human body, "tension" and "contraction" provide its external form. The lifelike soft exterior removes the sense of intimidation during high-speed movement.
Project Duration
This project is started from 2014. The robot is already on sale and still produced.
Operation Flow
This product is settled in a factory, and programed their jobs and works for whole day.
