By Rainbow Robotics

Broad cobot series from 3 to 30 kg payload, with components developed in-house.

The RB series is the cobot line of Rainbow Robotics, a company that grew out of the development of the HUBO humanoid. The series runs from a light 11 kg arm with 3 kg payload to models with 30 kg payload. According to the manufacturer, in-house core components make the series reliable and competitively priced; that is a manufacturer claim. Applications include assembly, inspection, welding, machine tending and palletising.

Notable facts about RB-serie, its manufacturer and this type of robot

  1. The RB-serie comes in 10 models, with a payload from 3 kg to 30 kg.

  2. 2008

    The first commercially sold cobot was a UR5 from Universal Robots, in December 2008.

  3. A cobot's payload includes the gripper. A 1 kg gripper on a 5 kg cobot leaves 4 kg for the product.

  4. The safety rules for cobots are set out in ISO 10218 and ISO/TS 15066. The latter gives limit values for contact force per body part.
