VP Series 5- and 6-axis Articulated Robots

The ultracompact VP Series 5- and 6-axis articulated robots offer the highest speed and repeatability in their class. Their small footprint of only 160 x 160 mm (200 mm dia. for the aseptic models) saves valuable facility space and makes integration easy, yet despite their size, they have a large payload capacity. In addition, their highly efficient motors use a maximum of only 80 W of power each, and all motors combined use a maximum of only 300 W, resulting in significant energy savings. The VP Series robots are ANSI/CE compliant and UL-listed (aseptic models), making them suitable for global deployment.

**With 1 kg payload

Very Small Footprint

160 x 160 mm (200 x 200 mm for aseptic models)

Lightweight

13 kg / 15 kg

Compact Design

Facilitates integration in tight spaces

ANSI/CE Compliant and UL Listed

ANSI/CE compliant and UL-listed (aseptic models) making them suitable for global deployment.

Aseptic Models

The VP Series aseptic robots offer the same speed and repeatability as the standard VP Series models but with ISO 5 (class 100) cleanroom performance. In addition, anodized aluminum coverings, a protective outer coating and specially sealed joints allow VP Series aseptic robots to be safely cleaned with hydrogen peroxide. This enables the robots to be used in applications where biocontamination control is required, such as those in the medical and pharmaceutical industries. VP Series aseptic robots are available in either ANSI and CE or UL models.
