MELFA industrial robots Features in detail Robots from € 1.65/hr Calculated on the basis of their average service life, around 6–7 years in typical applications, Mitsubishi Electric robots have a surprisingly low total cost of ownership at around € 1.65 per hour for both purchasing and operation. High-speed operation and high performance for productivity Versatility Small robots have been used in more than 100,000 applications in widely differing fields since 1978 – and what is more they work around the clock, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Internally-routed cables and hoses prevent...

Simple programming A powerful range of robots needs an equally powerful and user-friendly programming interface. Mitsubishi Electric’s RT ToolBox3 packages are powerful programming and simulation software tools tailored precisely for the needs of your robots. Intelligent metal construction and twin-arm structure give the robots particularly high rigidity and precision. The gripper interfaces of the articulated-arm robots conform to the ISO 9409-1 standard. Network capabilities Mitsubishi Electric servo motors of the latest generation help to provide exceptional repeatability performance....

Collaborative robot MELFA ASSISTA Easy control Integrate. Collaborate. Easy programming Mitsubishi Electric's collaborative robot, the MELFA ASSISTA, has been developed to work alongside human operators without the need for guards or safety fences, while meeting new requirements for adequate distancing of workers in manufacturing sites. The cobot offers maximum safety, such as collision detection and strict compliance with the international safety and robotic standards ISO 10218-1 and ISO/ TS15066. Furthermore, it offers durability combined with ease of use and programming, while...

Easy connecting A wide variety of components and applications ASSISTA offers a wide variety of components – grippers, fingers, vision and other peripherals – developed by a group of organizations known as MELFA robot partners. These tools can easily be setup and configured for your application. ASSISTA can also be configured to move freely as as part of an AGV/ AMR* or as a mobile robot. * AGV: Automated Guided Vehicle AMR: Autonomous Mobile Robot Grip with ASSISTA Simply connect grippers to robot arm The ASSISTA set-up wizard provides operators with an easier more intuitive methodology for...

Integral database connection and an allembracing control concept facilitate modular and flexible applications in any field where quality and production data have to be backed up in a comprehensible manner. Automotive industry Increasing hygiene demands, a variety of products and the traceability of production processes are ensured with MELFA robots – now and in the future. Highly accurate and extremely flexible...

Packaging High-performance and flexibility are a matter of course for MELFA robots. It goes equally without saying that all Mitsubishi Electric automation components can be incorporated. These include additional axes, PLC controllers and operating terminals. Furthermore, cameras can be connected and robots synchronised with conveyor belts. These functions enable packaging tasks to be carried out reliably, quickly and continuously. Electronics and mechanical engineering Mitsubishi Electric provides a wide range of products from SCARA robots for the micro assembly of miniature components to...

Technical features Advanced Safety with additional sensors =or: SS1, SS2, STO, SOS SLS, SLP More safety The DIN ISO-10218 safety standard is common to all robots and therefore guarantees safe operation in all applications. Mitsubishi Electric's supplementary product range including safety controllers enables the robots to be integrated into a common safety concept. Ready-made example projects make it possible for anyone to put together even complex systems quickly and effectively. The optional “MELFA SafePlus” safety technology for the FR series robot controllers has functions available...

Simple integration into complex applications Up to eight additional axes can be connected directly to the robot controller with just one cable. Of these, two axes can be used as additional interpolating axes, e.g. as the seventh and eighth robot axis. The special feature compared with other systems is that all additionally connected axes can be programmed in exactly the same way as the robot, using the same Teach-Box or the standard RT ToolBox3 software. This avoids the additional expense of software, training and programming. More efficient monitoring and maintenance functions Open...

Software for industrial robots High-performance industrial robots also require high-performance software. For this reason, more and more automation engineers are opting for the versatile and convenient Mitsubishi Electric software. All tasks, such as the creation of projects, programming and simulation, are implemented intuitively and mesh perfectly with one another. This results in optimum movement sequences in the shortest possible installation and commissioning time. Programming Offline and online programming with simulation Simulation 3D-CAD import and up to 16 robots can be simulated...
