Chinese robotics company Shenzhen Dobot has developed a new product that can deliver a high payload at record speed.
The CR 30H series, consisting of three models, is a six-axis robotic arm that can lift as much as 30 kilograms at speeds of 300 degrees per second, the fastest in the industry for such a payload, according to a company statement on Friday.
In addition, the machine is able to remain stable, with a vibration range of less than 0.3 millimeters under a full load, allowing it to perform delicate tasks such as carrying beverages and handling silicon wafers.
One of the three models, the CR 30HT, has built-in torque sensors so that users can teach the robot the required action by dragging the arm instead of programming it, saving 90 per cent of preparation time, the company said.
As well as the standard model, the third type, designated CR 30H-Food, uses food-grade lubricants and features easy-to-clean surfaces, making it suitable for dairy, frozen food and pharmaceutical production lines.
Shares of Hong Kong-listed Dobot edged up more than 1 per cent to close at HK$57.9 on Friday.
