Gas-tight high-grade steel robot for highest requirements

Machines and plants in the pharmaceutical industry require arranged cleaning fair and regarding particle emission harmless components from suitable materials such as high-grade steel or certain plastics. Complex handling equipments or robot are not only conditionally available however or. With the insulator machines for the production of pharmaceutical products the operator is separate by a hermetic partition from the product. The production process is to a large extent automated, manual accesses effected only over firmly installed rubber gloves. The disinfection of such completely closed machines usually takes place via gas floods of the machine inside with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). The high-grade steel robots CSSR 600 and CSSR 800 with 600 mm/800 mm of range, developed by Erhardt + abbott automatic control engineering GmbH, was conceived in such a way that no particles from the robot arrive and thus the products are contaminated. Further the aggressive cleaning medium may not penetrate hydrogen peroxide under any circumstances the inside the robot. In order to connect this, all joints of the robot are sealed. So that the robot is not attacked with cleaning the machine inside with hydrogen peroxide, all surface materials are manufactured in special, resistant coating or from polished high-grade steel. The cable withdrawal takes place with this robot downward, and the closed high-grade steel plate at the back of the robot prevents an influence of the laminar flow by thermal radiation of the cooling fins. The robot has also special bellows and an adapted assembly flange for tools. In a special testing method each robot with an internal pressure test is examined for tightness, which is also indicated under 150 millilitres per minute for 200 millibars internal pressure. For highest requirements within a pure area Erhardt offers + abbott a robot, which is settled between a pure space robot and the high-grade steel robot of Erhardt + abbott. The robot is headed for of the efficient CX-control. Despite high weight by the use of the high-grade steel components correspond speed, acceleration and above all the positioning and repetition accuracy the values of a regular SCARA robot.
