Advantages over competitors

Compared to competitors, the following factors are particularly interesting with the xArm:

• High ROI (Return On Invest):
  in direct comparison, the xArm is relatively reasonably priced, which means that the payback period is exceedingly short.
• Very good weight/performance ratio:
  With a mass of 12,2Kg, the xArm6 handles a payload of up to 5Kg
• Unique power management system (AC/DC):
  Due to the change between an AC & DC control box, the xArm can be operated both excellently stationary and with the DC control box very well as a mobile manipulator on a UGV
• Ethernet connectivity:
  The xArm can be integrated into the network via static IP and subsequently programmed and monitored via the xArm Studio

xArm Control Box

The Control Box of the xArm handles the communication between the robot arm and third-party devices, as a result of which additional sensors, end effectors or accessory components can also be connected to it. In addition, each xArm is delivered with the AC control box as standard, but a DC box can also be purchased as an accessory, which enables operation using 24V.
