Cobots with payload capacities up to 30kg, reach spans up to 1800 mm

Delta launches six models in the D-Bot series of collaborative industrial robots (Cobots). 

The portfolio features Cobots with payload capacities up to 30kg, reach spans up to 1800mm, compatibility with EtherCAT, Modbus and CODESYS, as well as the integration of 24-bit encoders to ensure optimal levels of precision, especially in pick and place, welding and palletising applications.

“In the field of mechanical engineering and automation technology, collaborative robotics represents one of the fastest-growing sectors. Market researchers from Interact Analysis predict an annual growth rate of around 20% by 2032. We aim to meet this demand with our D-Bot series Cobots, thereby assisting our customers in optimising their production processes, enhancing manufacturing efficiency, and mitigating labor shortages in many industries,” explains Michael Mayer-Rosa, Senior Director, Industrial Automation Business Group at Delta Electronics EMEA Region. “Having succeeded for many years as a provider of robotics and automation technology components, we are exceptionally well-positioned to make significant achievements in this area as well.”

The D-Bot series includes six versatile models: D-Bot 6, D-Bot 8, D-Bot 10, D-Bot 16, D-Bot 20, and D-Bot 30, with payload capacities ranging from 6 to 30kg. Featuring six axes for unmatched flexibility and precision, these models offer speeds up to 200 degrees per second and accuracy within ±0.02mm. Their reach spans 800 to 1800mm, suited for diverse operational demands. The integration of 24-bit encoders enhances precision, ensuring consistent performance.

Delta’s D-Bot series, designed with IP66 protection and advanced safety protocols, promise a secure and efficient workspace. Supporting interfaces like EtherCAT, Modbus and CODESYS, these cobots suit a range of tasks, from palletising, pick & place, welding and more With plug & play setup and intuitive programming via a user-friendly interface, the D-Bot series are accessible to operators of all skill levels, promoting human-robot collaboration in sectors such as automotive, logistics and electronics.

Delta’s D-Bot series are designed for rapid deployment, requiring no special programming skills, making them operational in no time. Thanks to its plug & play feature, setting up movements and command executions is effortlessly achieved. Furthermore, the system facilitates teaching through drag & drop, Python, ROS 1, or C++, ensuring a simple and flexible operation. The modern graphical user interface (GUI), featuring immersive 3D visualisation, allows users of all levels to quickly program. The inclusion of an HMI panel in the package eliminates the need for additional devices or tools for control, streamlining the operation process even further.
