The maximum weight of materials that a robot can continuously handle depends on the robot model, design, and application scenario. Different types of robots have significantly different carrying capacities. The following are some specific analyses and summaries of this issue:
I. Classification by robot type and carrying capacity
1. Micro robots:
- The extraction force is below 10N. These robots are usually used for very delicate operations and are not suitable for handling heavier materials.
2. Small robots:
- The extraction force is 10-50N. Although it is slightly stronger than micro robots, it is still not suitable for handling heavy materials.
3. Medium robots:
- The extraction force is 50-300N. These robots can handle a certain weight of materials to a certain extent, but are not specifically designed for large load applications.
4. Large and heavy robots:
- The extraction force is above 300N, especially heavy robots, whose carrying capacity can reach hundreds of kilograms or even higher. These robots are designed for handling heavy materials, such as heavy load handling, palletizing, etc.
II. Specific case analysis
1. FMS robot:
- The maximum weight range of the workpiece can reach 25~300KG, indicating that this type of robot can handle materials of a certain weight, but the specific maximum weight that can be handled continuously may be affected by other factors (such as working environment, material type, etc.).
2. FANUC palletizing robot:
- The M410i-HM palletizing robot has a maximum load of 250kg and is capable of handling multiple bags of materials at one time.
- The RobotM-2000iA palletizing robot has reached an astonishing maximum handling weight of 1350kg, making it one of the palletizing robots with the largest load to date.
3. ABB IRB 7600 robot:
- This robot has multiple versions with a maximum load capacity of up to 630kg, which is suitable for heavy-duty applications in various industries, indicating that it can continuously handle heavier materials.
III. Conclusion
In summary, the maximum weight of materials that a robot can continuously handle varies depending on the robot type, design, and application scenario. For application scenarios that require handling heavy materials, large or heavy robots should be selected, such as FANUC's RobotM-2000iA or ABB's IRB 7600. These robots have strong carrying capacity and stable performance, and can meet the needs of continuous handling of heavy materials.
Therefore, it is impossible to give a specific and unified number as the maximum weight of materials that the robot can continuously handle, but it is necessary to choose the appropriate robot model according to the actual situation and specific needs.
