## Study notes

- Four-axis delta robot with a parallel-link design and a single-axis wrist.
- Single-axis wrist speed is up to 4,000 degrees per second; the high-inertia option lists 2,000 degrees per second.
- Datasheet lists maximum load capacity at wrist as 6 kg, or 8 kg with the high-inertia option.
- IP67 protection is standard on the body and wrist/J3 arm.
- Average power consumption is 2.5 kW.
- The datasheet gives a working area of ø1350 mm by 500 mm; this is not a joint angle and is not entered as a joint range.
- The document lists compatible controllers as R-30iB Plus Mate Cabinet, R-30iB Plus Mate Open-Air Cabinet, and R-30iB Plus A-Cabinet.
