The MELFA RH-CRH series is a range of robots designed for versatility, with applications in assembly, coating, and precision conveyance. The series offers a range of maximum reach radii (600mm to 1000mm) and payload capacities (up to 10kg and 20kg). The RH-10CRH is suitable for transportation and assembly in the food and automotive industries, while the RH-20CRH is designed for handling and packaging heavy items. The robots’ lightweight design and compact structure enable seamless integration into restricted workspaces, enhancing operational flexibility.
The MELFA RH-CRH series features innovative battery-less motors, eliminating the need for periodic battery replacements and reducing maintenance downtime and costs. The robots’ simplified design, with fewer components, results in a significant weight reduction (up to 69%) and lower installation and facility costs. The integrated wiring and air piping within the robot arm reduce wiring complexity and simplify setup.
The series offers advanced functionality, including tracking operations, support for 3D and 2D vision sensors, and force sensing, ensuring precise performance for high-speed tasks. Compatibility with CC-Link IE Field Basic industrial Ethernet network enables seamless integration into existing production networks and Mitsubishi Electric products. The robots also feature optional safety features for secure operation in collaborative environments.
According to Keisuke Matsumura, Development Section Team Leader, “The MELFA RH-CRH series delivers exceptional performance and addresses the practical challenges our customers face in modern manufacturing, demonstrating our commitment to innovation and helping manufacturers enhance productivity and efficiency.” The series can be combined with other Mitsubishi Electric software advances, such as MELSOFT VIXIO AI visual inspection and MELSOFT Gemini digital twins, to achieve even greater automation, cost savings, and system benefits.
