Is the speed of Shibaura Machine robots adjustable?

Using industrial robots to automate tasks offers an improvement on process speed and cycle times when compared to completing tasks manually, but robots may need to be programmed to work at different speeds. This can depend on the type of robot and on the application that they are being used for.

Our robots can be programmed in the Symbolic Code Language for Robot (SCOL) language in the robotic teach pendants to adjust the movement speed and acceleration of the robot.

High speed robot choices

SCARA

SCARA robots are designed for applications that require both high speed and high precision, and all of our SCARA robots are suitable for programming to carry out quick and accurate movements. The THE600 can work at high speed without sacrificing accuracy or load capacity, able to reach 8.0 m/second and with an improved average cycle time of 0.31 seconds. The THP series is supercharged for enhanced speeds, ideal for processes where high throughput with a lower payload is required. We can supply SCARA robots that can work at rates between 40 ppm and over 50 ppm, depending on your requirements.

Six-axis

Our TV, TVL and TVM ranges of six-axis robotic arms offer world-class performance, with average cycle times of between 0.3-0.6 seconds, depending on which model you choose. The movement speed again can be adjusted by the robot operator using the controller and all of our six-axis robots have high speed capability.

Cartesian

We can provide a range of high speed cartesian robots — due to their linear structure and more limited movement range, moving the robot is simpler and they can be programmed to work at a variety of speeds and acceleration rates. The BA-III model can achieve maximum speeds of 2000-2300 mm/s, and the speed is adjustable dependent on the model, with a range of stroke lengths and payload requirements catered for.
