Industrial Manipulator Models
There are six basic models of manipulator, named by the moment capacity at Axis 1 (the “shoulder”).
| Manipulator Model | Maximum Moment Axis #1 | Payload (End Effector + Part) | Reach (Axis #1 to mEE+PART) |
| TA5 | 15,000 in*lbs | 120 lbs | 6-8 ft |
| M25 | 25,000 in*lbs | 150 lbs | 8-10 ft |
| M35 | 35,000 in*lbs | 150 lbs | 9-11 ft |
| M60 | 60,000 in*lbs | 330 lbs | 9-11 ft |
| M120 | 120,000 in*lbs | 770 lbs | 10-12 ft |
| M200 | 200,000 in*lbs | 1200 lbs | 11-14 ft |
| The lengths for Arm 1 Arm 2 increase in increments of 10″ are available on-the-shelf. |
| Both arms are typically available on-the-shelf in sizes |
| 50″ |
| 60″ |
| 70″ |
| 80″ |
| 90″ |
| Model | Base plate Size ‘B’ | 1st Axis Height | Axis 2 Offset |
| TA5 | 20″ x 20″ | N/A | 4.125″ |
| M25/M35 | 30″ x 30″ | 41″ | 5″ |
