Brooks
Go to manufacturers indexFor more than 30 years, the Brooks (before Precise Automation) team has revolutionized the automation industry. Starting with the development of the PUMA robot, continuing through the founding and growth of Adept Technology and now with the production of the first complete line of collaborative industrial robots, motion controllers that can fit in the palm of your hand and a vision software easy to use and integrate, the Precise Automation team continues to develop technology that helps you automate easily.
Discover the PreciseFlex Difference
Highest Throughput
PreciseFlex Cobots
- The primary axis moves horizontally without the need for high-ratio reducers to support gravity loaded axes
- Extremely low gear ratios of 1:1 or 5:1, which allow teaching with near zero fricton
- Extremely low reflected inertia results in low collision forces
- Can move faster and accelerate at higher rates without compromising safety
Traditional Cobots
- Move axes vertically - against gravity - using harmonic drives a wear item and failure point to lift the arm
- Move high gear ratios of 150:1 or more with high friction results in difficult hand-guiding for teaching
- Higher reflected inertia (2,000x more than PreciseFlex cobots) results in higher collision forces
- Must move slower and accelerate at lower rates to be collaborative
Most Reliable
PreciseFlex Cobots
- Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) of 125k hours*
- Design life of 40,000 hours for PreciseFlex 400 and 3400
- Design life of 100,000 hours for PreciseFlex DD 4-axis, which uses direct drive motors. (the highest among standard cobots)
- Can move faster and accelerate at higher rates without compromising safety
*Based on over 4.000 robots deployed for over 12 years. MTBF as stated here applies to robot only, and does not include the complete automation system. Robot reliability depends on the application and environment.
Traditional Cobots
- MTBF not published
- Move high gear ratios of 150:1 or more with high friction results in difficult hand-guiding for teaching
- Design life not published. Harmonic drives typically last 20.000 hours
- Substandard reliability results in ongoing retrofits and recall notices
Highest Workspace Density
PreciseFlex Cobots
- Vertical column envelope maximizes workspace
- Ideal for moving vertically and reaching into shelves, machines, and instruments
- Extend robot reach with Collaborative Linear Rail (easy to program with coordinated motion)
- Ideal for mobile applications
Traditional Cobots
- Spherical envelope limits vertical reach
- Bulky wrist restricts access in narrow spaced
- External controllers and cables require extra floor space
- Larger footprint requires more floor space
- Third-party linear rails are expensive, clunky, and time-consuming to design and install
- Unsuited for mobile applications due to high power consumption, bulky external controller, and offset spherical work envelope
Most Energy Efficient
PreciseFlex Cobots
- 70 ~ 150W for moving payload at speed, using 1/3 the power of traditional cobots
- Up to 12 PreciseFlex 400 and 3400 cobots run on a single 120VAC/20A circuit
- Up to 15% additional power savings with DO Power Option
- Ideal for mobile applications
Traditional Cobots
- Consume more power due to vertical axis design and high-friction harmonic drives
- Wasted power dissipated as heat creates more inefficiency, requiring air conditioning in climate-controlled facilities
- Require up to 3X more power to do the same work
- Inefficient in mobile applications
