Intelligent technology – MELFA FR series works on an intelligent technology called MELFA Smart Plus that has helped broaden the functional possibilities for the robots. MELFA Smart Plus not only provides greater accuracy, simpler installation and shorter start-up times but has made it possible for the robots to perform tasks seemingly more advanced, with the help of sophisticated force sensors while improving cooperation through vision sensors.

FA-IT integration – The MELFA-FR Series are further integrated with an expansive range of factory automation equipment like the MELSEC iQ-R series. These machines, in turn, supports ‘e-F@ctory’, the smart manufacturing solution for hassle-free integration of industrial robots and IT systems. It also helps in increasing productivity while reducing maintenance as well as the total cost of ownership (TCO).

Collaborative work applications for safety – MELFA FR Series incorporate collaborative work applications for enhanced safety. Its flexible design, easy programming, hassle-free operation and the versatility to connect and operate with a wide range of components makes it a strong case as a Collaborative Workspace Partner.

The robot also comes in different series depending on the situation and demand for the product. They are categorized as follows:-

  • Vertical type RV-FR series– This series consists of top-of-the-line servo control and optimized arm construction that allows them to perform varied functions easily. Their compact bodies and slender arms help in covering a large work area and great load capacity. Also, their optimized arm length and multiple joints aid in complex assembly and process operations. These robots can carry out a wide range of jobs right from assembling electrical components to transporting machine parts.
  • Horizontal type RH-FR series– This series of industrial robots comes in variations or different operating areas and hence are capable of a variety of applications. Their servo controls and extremely rigid arms enable speed and outstanding precision. The robots are perfectly designed for sectors like food manufacturing or pharmaceutical manufacturing units where high-volume production and high levels of precision (for assemblage) are required respectively.
  • Ceiling-mounted horizontal type RH-3FRH35 series– This series of industrial robots are horizontal, multi-joint type of robots especially designed to save space through their suspended type of installation. These robots are perfect for various applications that include high-speed transportation, packaging, assembly of components, and inspections.
