MELFA Robots – RV Series

A firm grip on continuously outstanding quality

The MELFA range of robots includes a great diversity of types, models and versions. The articulated-arm RV series includes everything from high-performance compact models with 2 kg payloads to powerful models that can handle up to 12 kg.

The RV series has been optimised with a choice of three major networking technologies: Ethernet, Profibus DP and CC-Link. For complex automation cells where movement is restricted, or there is a large distance between working points, the RV series robots can control up to eight additional axes to its standard robot arm configuration.

The Powerful Compact Class

The RV-2SDB Articulated-arm Robots are an all round talent in their class, thanks to its compactness and wide range of motion for each axis. Even critical applications with limited space are no problem due to 6 DOF and floor or ceiling mounting capability. The controller has special features and functions to reduce cycle times. To expand workspace, the robot can be easily installed on a carriage for traversing an interpolated linear axis.

The Reliable Mid-range Solution

The RV-3SD series of robots have been designed to be very simple to integrate into an existing automation cell. Features such as the direct control over 32 local I/Os allows the robot to interact directly with sensors and actuators, speeding up and simplifying system building.

Exceptional Power and Reach

The RV-6SD and RV-12SD are the high-performance robots in Mitsubishi’s SD series. Available in both 6 kg and 12 kg payload versions and with standard or long-reach arms, the robots of this series are ideal for handling workpieces in industrial manufacturing processes and for daisy-chaining production stations.
