The Brooks Automation PreciseFlex DDR 4-Axis direct-drive collaborative robot combines the benefits of traditional robots with the ease-of-use of collaborative robots. It features direct-drive motors in the base and elbow and a gear belt drive for the Z axis, enabling by-hand teaching and reducing the risk of large collision forces commonly found in harmonic-drive robots. This design allows the robot to move at speeds comparable to human movement, even in the presence of operators, while adhering to ISO collaborative robot safety standards. The cylindrical working volume of the PreciseFlex DDR takes up less space compared to vertically-articulat
ed robots and minimizes collision forces through its inner link moving under the outer link and its ability to tuck in its arm for higher tool speed with lower kinetic energy. Soft foam covers provide protection during collisions.
