Staubli TX2-160 6 Axis Industrial Robot Arm 40kg Payload High Precision for Machine Tending Handling

Staubli TX2-160 — Medium Payload 6-Axis Industrial Robot

【Product Overview】

• Balances 40 kg payload with up to 1,710 mm reach and exceptional path accuracy — purpose-built for laser cutting, machine tending, material handling, and advanced assembly.
• Available in two models: TX2-160 (standard 1,710 mm) and TX2-160L (extended 2,010 mm / 25 kg), covering both dense-cell and large-envelope applications.
• Compatible with all environments — from harsh industrial to sterile cleanrooms (ISO Class 2), with HE (hygienic), ESD (electronics), Cleanroom, and Stericlean (pharma-grade) variants available.

【Application Industry】

• Automotive & Metalworking — laser cutting, welding, machine tending, and heavy-part handling in high-throughput production cells.
• Semiconductor & Electronics — cleanroom-compatible wafer carrier packaging (FOSB handling), PCB assembly, and testing in ESD-sensitive environments.
• Pharmaceutical & Food — Stericlean/HE variants for aseptic processing, parts cleaning, and packaging in GMP and washdown zones.

【Common Problems & Solutions】

• Drive axis error at CS9 boot — typically caused by WMS pendant communication loss or an open safety chain. Replace the WMS with the Maintenance Plug to isolate; if axes jog normally, replace the WMS cable or pendant.
• DC bus undervoltage preventing drive enable — verify the pre-charge resistor, soft-start contactor, and bulk capacitors. On a 400–480 VAC 3-phase supply, the DC bus should reach 540–680 VDC within ~3 seconds of power-up.
• Encoder amplitude failure on a single axis — inspect the motor encoder cable for continuity and shield damage at the arm-side bulkhead connector. Contaminated or loose connector pins are the most common cause after long storage or shipping.

【Replacement Models】

• Predecessor: RX160 / RX160 L (discontinued) — TX2-160 replaces both with improved wrist stiffness, ±0.02 mm repeatability, and unified CS9 control architecture across the entire TX2 range.
• Same-family alternatives: TX2-140 (40 kg / 1,510 mm) for compact cells; TX2-160L (25 kg / 2,010 mm) for extended-reach applications.
• Cross-brand equivalents: ABB IRB 2600-20/1.65, KUKA KR 60-3, FANUC M-20iD/35 — Stäubli leads in trajectory accuracy and cleanroom/hygienic specialization.
