Racer3 6-axis Articulated Robot

Comau introduced a new high-speed, 6-axis articulated robot featuring a payload of 3kg and a reach of just 630mm. The third robot within the award-winning Racer family, Racer3 is Comau's response to the growing market demand for fast, cost-effective robotic automation within small to medium-sized enterprises and emerging countries. With a streamlined design and brushed metal exterior, the new powerhouse of a robot unites beauty and speed with absolute precision and repeatability.

Built from high-strength aluminum, the newest paradigm in Comau robotics weighs just 30kg and can be easily mounted on benches, walls, ceilings or on inclined supports. It's also destined to be the fastest in its class according to preliminary prototype tests. Even its elegant color scheme sets it apart from the trustworthy red Comau giants that have faultlessly served high-end industrial manufacturing for close to 40 years.

Leveraging Comau's longstanding experience in the automotive industry, the new Racer3 combines field-proven technology and enhanced dexterity with a keen focus on safety, design and product aesthetics. With a compact design, aluminum construction, exceptional stability and a user-friendly control interface, Racer3 is a highly efficient manipulation and assembly solution that can adapt to any environment. This means that SMEs in virtually any industry can easily automate, with extreme accuracy, precision and intelligence, even the most delicate manufacturing processes.

The balanced volume and sleek lines of the new Racer3 robot combine speed, strength and stiffness within a highly compact and lightweight package. Created for general industry sectors, including Food&Beverage, Electronics, Plastics, Metalworking and more, Racer3 has a wide and very flexible work area. Its rigid construction ensures higher precision and repeatability, whereas the hollow body construction optimizes the fluid transition of cables. Racer3 can also be transported and installed almost anywhere, guaranteeing maximum deployability, according to the company. Primary applications include assembly, material handling, machine tending, dispensing and pick & place.

Racer3 unites aesthetic innovation with a high performance design built for results. The first of a new generation of general industry robots, Racer3 represents a concrete example of the intensive R&D that has helped Comau Robotics become a leader in the industry. This ongoing commitment to innovation continues to push Comau forward, both in terms of new technology developments and new market sectors.
