Technical extensions
Absolute encoder; AC servo motors and brakes on all joints; 4 tool-air lines (φ4×4) and 9 user signal wires. Air pressure 0.10–0.39 MPa operating, 0.49 MPa maximum. VP-5243 maximum composite speed is 3,900 mm/s. Maximum payload depends on wrist orientation: beyond ±45° from downward vertical, VP-5243 is limited to 2.5 kg and VP-6242 to 2.0 kg.
