New ProductNov 04, 2016
Yaskawa Electric Corporation (Representative Director and President: Hiroshi Ogasawara) has developed the MOTOMAN-MH5BM (load capacity: 5 kg), a six-axis vertical articulated robot that will be ideal for areas which require high levels of hygiene control such as the biomedical field, which includes drug discovery research, pharmaceutical and medical industry, as well as the beverage industry. The company starts sales of the MOTOMAN-MH5BM on November 1, 2016 (Tue).
To date, Yaskawa has been working on providing robotic solution for the biomedical field where automation is difficult and there has been no choice but to depend on manual work; such as experiments in drug discovery and R&D in the pharmaceutical industry; the sample preparation in clinical testing; and the cancer drugs compounding at hospitals.
Due to the increasing demands for further quality improvement, as well as safety and security today, the robots do not only have to realize automation, but also be able to deal with the biologically clean environments*1 where hygiene conditions are strictly controlled.
To meet these needs, MOTOMAN-MH5BM has adopted a smooth and flash surface body design and offers a superb level of cleanability. With the new coating and surface finish, MH5BM is compatible with various decontamination methods using hydrogen oxide; wiping, VHP gas, and mist sprays.
*1: A sanitary environment which requires control over airborne particles and the enumeration of microbial populations.
