The 8 kg version of the IRB 360 robot has been re-engineered to handle higher payloads and improved pick-and-place performance. The new design includes a redesigned carbon fiber arm-set, a new delta plate designed to handle larger weights and inertias, and improved motion tuning. The new 8kg unit also features a deeper (350 mm) work envelope than the other 1130 mm reach FlexPicker models.
