Award-Winning Design in High-Speed, 4-Axis Robots

A line of extremely powerful 4-axis robots from Stäubli (Faverges-Seythenex, France) is designed to meet the most stringent requirements in fields such as the automotive, food, pharmaceuticals, plastics, and electrical or electronics sectors. Selective Compliance Assembly Robot Arms (SCARA) are useful in a variety of applications, carrying out precise and repetitive tasks such as loading/unloading, assembly, packaging/palletization, pick and place/handling, sorting, piling and spacing, all at very high speeds.

The TS2 SCARA series share the same structural segments as the 6-axis TX2 robots, offering an identical footprint for high modularity and optimized development times, as well as the same CS9 controller.

The new TS2 SCARA series from Stäubli is not only well received by the industry but has won one of the most coveted design awards, the Red Dot Design Award 2021 in the “Product Design” category – a great success for the still young robot series, which sets benchmarks in terms of dynamics, precision and cleanroom.

“We are very proud to receive this prestigious prize,” said Christophe Coulongeat, group division manager, Stäubli Robotics. “It rewards the passion and commitment of the Stäubli teams designing products and solutions with unmatched performance, precision and reliability to various environments from harsh to sterile.”

The new four-axis series impresses with its unique cylindrical working area. The compact, closed design with internal media and supply lines has no interfering contours, no sources of error and no unnecessary particle emissions. Housing is completely sealed, and the connections can be concealed under the robot base if desired. Consistently avoiding dead spaces, Stäubli exemplifies how hygienic design works today. The company’s robots are a top choice even for sensitive applications in the pharmaceutical, medical and food sectors.
