MOTOMAN ME1000 Heavy-Payload Robot (1,000 kg)

The MOTOMAN ME1000 is a groundbreaking 6-axis horizontal articulated robot engineered specifically for transporting heavy payloads up to 1,000 kg. Its innovative horizontal design delivers exceptional energy efficiency and a compact footprint compared to traditional vertical articulated robots, resulting in significantly reduced energy consumption and lower operating costs. This award-winning design earned the prestigious Japanese "Energy Conservation Grand Prize" for its outstanding sustainability performance. The ME1000 excels in handling and assembling heavy automotive components, battery trays for electric vehicles, construction materials, precast concrete elements, large castings, forgings, and heavy-duty palletised loads in logistics and e-commerce applications. With superior payload-to-weight ratio, minimal floor space requirements, and reliable precision, the ME1000 is the ideal solution for manufacturers seeking efficient, space-saving automation of heavy-part handling operations.

Engineered to revolutionize heavy-payload automation, the MOTOMAN ME1000 combines innovative horizontal articulation with robust performance for demanding industrial applications. Unlike conventional vertical articulated robots, the ME1000's unique horizontal design significantly reduces the robot's own mass, delivering exceptional energy efficiency while maintaining the strength and rigidity required for 1,000 kg payloads.

MOTOMAN SIA Series 7-Axis Robots

The MOTOMAN SIA Series 7-axis robots combine slim-profile design with exceptional dexterity and motion flexibility for complex automation tasks. Available in payload capacities from 5 kg to 20 kg, these robots excel in assembly, inspection, machine tending, and material handling operations—especially in confined or hard-to-reach spaces. The innovative 7-axis configuration enables the robot to reposition its elbow joint without affecting the hand position or causing self-interference, allowing optimal tool positioning around obstacles and through narrow openings. This superior articulation makes the SIA Series ideal for applications requiring flexible approach angles, collision avoidance, and operation in space-constrained manufacturing environments.

Engineered for applications demanding exceptional reach and manoeuvrability, the SIA Series 7-axis robots deliver the versatility needed in modern automated production. The additional seventh axis provides a significant advantage over traditional 6-axis robots, enabling the arm to navigate around fixtures, tooling, and workpieces while maintaining optimal end-effector orientation.
