AA
Robotics specialises in the full design and integration
of flexible automation systems utilising robots and
vision (often linked) to achieve the best possible
return on each customer’s investment.
AA
Robotics is the UK & Ireland system Partner
for the range of DENSO robots.
DENSO
specialise in highly accurate, 4 & 6 axis
units, with a range of reaches from 350 mm to 1,300
mm and payloads from 5 Kg up to 20 Kg.
The superb design of DENSO robots has produced robust,
reliable and very lightweight arms, which gives low
inertia forces allowing them to be easily integrated
into machine applications. They are fast and precise
with repeatability down to 0.015 mm and a standard
test cycle time as low as 0.29 seconds. Mean time failure
modes are 150,000 hours for 4 axis units and 60,000
hours for 6 axis units.
DENSO robots are available in standard IP45 housings
or IP65 for more arduous installations or as a full
CLEAN ROOM specification.
The 6 and 4 axis robots both use the same range of
space saving controllers enabling easy specification
for each application saving, energy, space and cost
and keeping commonality across your factory.
DENSO is one of the largest manufacturers and users
of small assembly robots in the world. World population
of DENSO robots is in excess of 35,000 units.
AA Robotics are pleased to help, support and supply
robots to OEM companies for integration into there
own machines.
AA Robotics are a fast expanding and supported division
