Developed by Shibaura Machine, previously referred to as Toshiba Machine, the THE sequence of SCARA robots has turn into a gold commonplace in high-speed, precision automation. Designed to satisfy the evolving calls for of industries similar to electronics, pharmaceutical, medical, cosmetics and automotive element meeting, every robotic within the sequence offers distinctive cycle instances, payload dealing with and trajectory accuracy.
Developed by Shibaura Machine, previously referred to as Toshiba Machine, the THE sequence of SCARA robots has turn into a gold commonplace in high-speed, precision automation. Designed to satisfy the evolving calls for of industries similar to electronics, pharmaceutical, medical, cosmetics and automotive element meeting, every robotic within the sequence offers distinctive cycle instances, payload dealing with and trajectory accuracy.
At Automate 2025, the corporate will show all 4 fashions from the vary: the THE400, THE600, THE800 and THE1000.
The compact THE400 is right for quick, exact operations in meeting and inspection processes, significantly throughout the electronics and automotive sectors. With a most payload of 5kg and a cycle time of simply 0.39 seconds (with a 2kg load), the THE400 presents spectacular pace and accuracy in a compact footprint — preferrred for restricted workspace environments.
Constructing on the capabilities of the THE400, the mid-range THE600 brings enhanced efficiency for heavier masses and extra demanding purposes. Providing 60 per cent larger payload capability in comparison with related SCARA robots in its class, the THE600 delivers highly effective efficiency at an accessible worth level. It was the primary mannequin within the sequence to be launched with Shibaura Machine’s TS5000 controller — a next-generation platform designed with Business 4.0 readiness, predictive upkeep, edge computing protocols and built-in AI diagnostics.
For purposes requiring better arm attain and payload capability, the THE800 offers a powerful stability of energy and pace. It helps a most payload of 20kg with an improved cycle time of 0.41 seconds and has been engineered for precision movement management with a redesigned mechanical construction. This mannequin is right for purchasers trying to automate medium-duty dealing with, packaging or inspection duties with elevated attain and adaptability.
As the most important mannequin within the vary, the THE1000 can be demonstrated reside on the present, executing a high-speed motion sequence whereas carrying a 20kg payload — a transparent illustration of the robotic’s distinctive stability of energy, pace and management. With a 1000mm arm attain, cycle time of 0.44 seconds and compatibility with the TS5000 controller, the THE1000 is completely suited to duties similar to electrical automobile battery meeting, large-scale pick-and-place and different high-throughput purposes.
Nigel Smith, CEO of TM Robotics, emphasised the strategic significance of showcasing the total vary of capabilities at Automate 2025. “Our aim at Automate is to indicate how Shibaura Machine robots could be the spine of an entire automation technique — whether or not you are integrating one robotic or constructing a full robotic cell.”
Along with the SCARA robots, TM Robotics may even display the TVM1200, a 6-axis vertically articulated mannequin from the TVM sequence. This robotic encompasses a attain of 1418mm and a payload capability of 15kg, making it preferrred for integration with auxiliary manufacturing techniques similar to injection moulding machines, die casting models and CNC tools.
“The THE sequence and TVM sequence mirror Shibaura Machine’s continued funding in clever, future-ready automation options. By combining efficiency with reliability and ease of integration, these robots give producers the boldness to scale and adapt as calls for evolve”, added Smith.
Go to Shibaura Machine at Automate 2025 to see the robots in motion, communicate with TM Robotics automation consultants and study extra about how these techniques can rework manufacturing processes. Contact the Shibaura Machine staff instantly to rearrange a gathering at this occasion.
