Long Reach, Shelf-Mounted PH-Series Robots for Superior Press Handling Performance

Yaskawa Motoman's long-reach, shelf-mounted PH-series robots are designed to withstand the rigors of press room environments and can help eliminate inconsistencies of a manual process.

Specifically designed for the rigors of press room environments, the long-reach, shelf-mounted PH-series robots can help to eliminate inconsistencies of a manual process. Available in two models, the six-axis PH130RF and PH200RF robots feature a high vibration rating for superior performance and maximum durability in press handling applications.


The streamlined, long reach design allows the robots to work in tight spaces and service multiple presses. The PH130RF model services press pitches up to 7 m, and the PH200RF model services press pitches from 6 to 8.5 m. High moment and inertia ratings enable the PH-series models to easily handle large blanks and formed parts.

The shelf-mount design saves valuable floorspace, expands the work envelope and eases die change-out, while providing flexibility for custom layouts.

Both models feature long-life speed reducers to facilitate highly repetitive handling operations, as well as high-performance drive systems on the S-, L- and U-axes (axes 1, 2 and 3) for high duty cycle and increased durability.

The PH130RF robot offers a 130 kg payload capacity, and the PH200RF robot offers a 200 kg payload capacity. Exceptionally fast axis speeds and acceleration capabilities can reduce cycle time and increase production output.

Installation is quick and efficient. A single cable is all that is needed to connect the manipulator to the controller, resulting in easy setup and reduced expenses for maintenance and spare parts inventory. Both the PH130RF and PH200RF robots come equipped with an IP67-rated wrist and an IP30 body as standard.

PH-series robots are controlled by Yaskawa's high-performance YRC1000 controller that is built to a global standard and does not require a transformer for input voltages ranging from 380VAC to 480VAC. The YRC1000 is highly compact (598 W x 490 H x 427 D mm), resulting in reduced space requirements.

Model TR1 Tru-Trac

Model TR1 Tru-Trac

The Model TR1 Tru-Trac® linear measurement solution is a versatile option for tracking velocity, position, or distance over a wide variety of surfaces. An integrated encoder, measuring wheel, and spring-loaded torsion arm in one, compact unit, the Model TR1 is easy to install. The spring-loaded torsion arm offers adjustable torsion load, allowing the Model TR1 to be mounted in almost any orientation - even upside-down. The threaded shaft on the pivot axis is field reversible, providing mounting access from either side. With operating speeds up to 3000 feet per minute, a wide variety of configuration options - including multiple wheel material options - and a housing made from a durable, conductive composite material that minimizes static buildup, the Model TR1 Tru-Trac® is the ideal solution for countless applications.
