Technical Highlights
The AUBO-E3 is engineered with a focus on precision and adaptability for desktop applications. Its lightweight design at 16 kg makes it easy to deploy and reposition, crucial for flexible manufacturing environments. The high repeatability of ±0.02 mm ensures consistent performance in tasks requiring minute accuracy, minimizing errors and enhancing product quality. Furthermore, its IP54 rating provides protection against dust and splashes, allowing for operation in a wider range of industrial settings without compromising performance or longevity.
Application Scenarios Precision Assembly: With a repeatability of ±0.02 mm, the AUBO-E3 is well-suited for intricate assembly tasks, such as placing small electronic components or fastening delicate parts, ensuring high yields and consistent product quality. Quality Inspection: Its precise movements and stable platform allow for consistent and accurate automated inspection of parts, identifying defects with greater reliability than manual methods. Small Parts Handling: The 3 kg payload capacity is ideal for picking and placing small to medium-sized components in applications like order fulfillment or kitting, improving throughput and reducing manual labor. Screwing and Dispensing: The robot's precision and controlled movements enable accurate screw fastening or precise application of adhesives and sealants, ensuring consistent process outcomes. Educational and Research Labs: Its collaborative nature, user-friendly programming, and desktop form factor make it an excellent tool for teaching robotics and automation principles, as well as for conducting research in advanced manufacturing techniques.
Selection Recommendations Suitable: The AUBO-E3 is highly suitable for electronics assembly lines requiring precise component placement and repetitive tasks with a payload requirement of up to 3 kg. Its ±0.02 mm repeatability ensures that critical tolerances are met consistently, and its compact footprint allows for integration into high-density workstations without demanding significant floor space. The IP54 rating also offers a degree of protection for environments with potential dust or minor liquid exposure. Not Suitable: This model is not recommended for heavy-duty tasks such as metal deburring or welding applications that involve significant impact forces or extreme heat, due to its 3 kg payload limit and standard IP54 rating. Applications requiring higher payloads, such as palletizing heavy goods or handling large machine components, would be better served by models with greater capacity, such as the AUBO-i10 or AUBO-i16 from AUBO's i-series.
FAQ
1. What is the maximum payload capacity of the AUBO-E3, and how does this affect its suitability for my application?
The AUBO-E3 has a maximum payload capacity of 3.0 kg. This capacity is suitable for applications involving lightweight components, such as electronic parts, small tools, or grippers for delicate items. If your application requires handling heavier end-effectors, additional cabling, or workpieces exceeding 3 kg, it would not be recommended for this model. For heavier loads, consider AUBO's i-series robots with higher payload ratings, like the AUBO-i10 (10 kg payload) or AUBO-i16 (16 kg payload).
2. What is the reach of the AUBO-E3, and how much workspace does it require?
The AUBO-E3 has a reach of 625 mm. This reach is suitable for desktop applications and smaller workstations where space is limited. The robot's compact footprint, with a base mounting diameter of Ø140 mm, minimizes the required operational space, making it ideal for benchtop use or integration into existing tight manufacturing cells. We recommend a thorough risk assessment to determine the precise safe operating envelope for your specific installation.
3. How does the ±0.02 mm repeatability of the AUBO-E3 translate to real-world production tolerances?
A ±0.02 mm repeatability signifies that the AUBO-E3 can consistently return to the same position with very high accuracy. This level of precision is crucial for tasks like micro-assembly, precise dispensing, or intricate soldering, where even minor deviations can lead to product defects. For instance, in the 3C industry, this accuracy ensures that small components are placed correctly every time, enhancing product reliability and reducing rework.
4. What is the IP rating of the AUBO-E3, and is it suitable for environments with dust or moisture?
The AUBO-E3 features an IP54 rating. This means it offers protection against dust ingress and splashing water from any direction. While it is suitable for many standard industrial environments that may have some airborne dust or occasional minor liquid splashes, it is not designed for submersion or high-pressure water jets. For more demanding environments, AUBO offers models with higher IP ratings, such as the iS series which includes IP67/IP68 options.
5. Can the AUBO-E3 be mounted in orientations other than floor-mounted?
Yes, the AUBO-E3 supports mounting in any orientation. This flexibility allows for floor, wall, or ceiling mounting, which is particularly advantageous for optimizing workspace utilization in confined areas or for specific application needs. This adaptability ensures the robot can be positioned optimally to reach all required points within its workspace.
6. What is the typical lead time for the AUBO-E3, and are units generally in stock?
