VSG Series

The VSG Series 6-axis articulated robots combine high speed and repeatability with powerful load-handling capability. They have a 7 kg maximum payload capacity and a maximum allowable moment of inertia (0.295 kgm²; at J4 and J5, and 0.045 kgm² at J6) that is 2.5 times greater than conventional robots. This enables flexible end-effector designs and a wide range of applications. In addition, the VS Series footprint is only 200 x 200 mm, facilitating integration. The VS Series is ANSI and CE compliant, making it suitable for global deployment. UL-listed models are available for both the U.S. and Canada.
