Cognibotics AB Robot Accessories HKM1800

The Cognibotics HKM1800 distinguishes itself with a unique fourth motion principle designed for fast pick-and-place applications. Unlike traditional robots such as scara, delta, and 6-axis systems, the HKM1800 boasts a patented arm structure optimized for superior performance. With high-strength, low-weight components, it is among the fastest robots available, combining an unprecedented reach with low energy consumption. Notably, 80% of the manipulator's weight is concentrated in its stationary base, contributing to its energy efficiency and enabling a small footprint that allows robots to operate within each other's workspaces, optimizing production space. Cognibotics' world-class competence aids in integrating HKM1800 robots into various applications, including special-purpose tasks, standard cells, or machines. The robot features active motion stabilization, leveraging feedback from the robot wrist to ensure precise and controlled movements. This system efficiently compensates for payload variations and deviations, resulting in short cycle times for pick-and-place operations without compromising motion smoothness. The design includes safe cable routing through a well-protected cavity in the base, enhancing the robot's longevity and robustness while minimizing the need for maintenance. The HKM1800's specifications include a 1800 mm radial reach, a 2000 mm pick cycle of 1.6 seconds, energy efficiency, a small footprint, and active motion stabilization. With a nominal payload of 2 kg (maximum payload of 7.5 kg), the robot operates with four axes, providing a high level of precision. Its electrical features encompass integrated bus systems, 24V EtherCAT, RS485/RS232 (optional), IO-Link (optional), and a power consumption of less than 1 kW for 1-2 meters of motion. Overall, the HKM1800 represents a leap in productivity, offering a blend of reach, speed, and energy efficiency for diverse industrial applications.
