INDUSTRIAL ROBOTS

MELFA RP-1AH/3AH/5AH

Mitsubishi Electric Industrial Robots are manufactured at a factory certified for ISO14001 (standards for environmental management systems) and ISO9001 (standards for quality assurance management systems).

EC97J1113

Proposing the 21st Century’sStatue of Robot

New Options Simplify Operation Ease and Expandability Improved communication interfaces for CC-Link, Ethernet and serial extensions.

5-Joint Closed Link Configuration In Pursuit of the Ultimate in High-speed, High-accuracy OperationAn original 5-joint closed link mechanism and 64bit CPU enables the robot to

operate at high speeds and with maximum accuracy; equal to that of process-dedicated equipment.

Cycle time of 0.28s*2 and repeat position accuracy of ±5µm achieved (RP-1AH).Multi-task function included for parallel processing of vision sensor and peripheral

control communications.*2 Cycle time is a reference value, and increases in accurate work occasionally.

Compact Space-saving DesignTaking up a space the size of an 81/2 ×11 sheet of paper and weighing only

approximately 8kg, the controller smallest in the industry. Installation and trans-portation are simple and easy.

Lining 3 RP-1AH units up side-by-side, the line is a space-saving 1.2m in length. Introduction of these robots into existing factory line space is no problem at all.

The robot main body weighs about 12kg and requires an installation space equal to that taken up by a sheet of paper (RP-1AH), thus making it easy to incorporate these robots into your current facilities.

Effective Lineup for Diversified NeedsThe RP Series of robots is available in type models, from the small RP-1AH to

the RP-5AH, which operates at a maximum weight load of 5kg.Compliant with cleaning inspection ratings Class 100/0.3µm. (special specifica-

tions*3)*3 Please confirm delivery terms.

Features

Smallest Controller in the Industry Equipped with Powerful 64 bit CPUNew redesigned controller requires a setup area the size of an 81/2×11 sheet of

paper and weighs only approximately 8kg.Controller can operate at 120 or 200VAC. (200VAC only for CE)Controller option compatibility guaranteed.*1 The connector is different from that of the CR2-532 controller. If the controller is to be con-

nected to the main body of a previous model, the main body of the robot must be modified.

<Special Specifications> The following work environment safety specifications apply.

Note: Cleaning specifications is determined when an order is received, so please confirm the delivery term.

Note: Regarding cleaning specifications, there is a difference between specifications and external dimensions.

∗1: Maximum load capacity is that when the constant of the adjustable speed is limited.∗2: This reference explains that the unit covers the area the size of an A4 sheet of paper.∗3: Cycle time is a reference value, and increases in accurate work occasionally.∗4: The pneumatic hand interface (option) is required when tool (hand) output is used.∗5: Generally, the pattern of electricity consumption during operation is: RP-1AH,

approximately 0.5kW; RP-3AH/5AH, approximately 0.7kW.∗6: Default is set to 180~253 VAC at the time of shipping (CE specifications is set to

230 VAC±10% at the time of shipping).∗7: Dimensions listed exclude the Extension Option Box.

Note: Specifications are subject to change without prior notification.
