Ultra-Compact Articulated Robot

BUNKER PRO

The DENSO VP Series represents the world's smallest and most compact 5 and 6-axis articulated robots, delivering exceptional precision and speed in an incredibly space-efficient package. With payload options of 2.5-3 kg and reach of 430-432 mm, the VP Series robots occupy a footprint of just 160 x 160 mm (aseptic models: 200 x 200 mm), enabling installation in confined spaces where conventional robots cannot fit. Available in standard and aseptic cleanroom variants, the VP Series combines ultracompact dimensions with remarkable precision (±0.02 mm repeatability), rapid cycle times (0.99 seconds), and exceptional energy efficiency (300W maximum). Perfect for electronics assembly, precision material handling, and applications where space constraints demand miniaturization.

Frequently Asked Questions

Through advanced mechanical design, compact servo motors, and optimized joint geometry, Denso engineers achieved the 160 x 160 mm footprint while maintaining full 5/6-axis capability. This makes VP Series ideal for tight assembly cells and automated workstations where space is at a premium.

Yes, the 3 kg payload is designed specifically for electronics assembly applications including circuit board handling, component placement, and precision micro-assembly where typical components weigh grams to a few kilograms.

The aseptic variant (200 x 200 mm footprint) is designed for pharmaceutical and medical device assembly in cleanroom environments. It features sealed components, special lubricants, and design compliant with ISO cleanroom standards.

Low power consumption reduces electrical infrastructure requirements, operating costs, and heat generation. This enables installation in environments where power availability is limited, such as confined workstations or retrofit applications.

The ±0.02 mm repeatability enables consistent micro-positioning for delicate component placement, precision insertion, and applications requiring extremely tight tolerances in micro-assembly.

Yes, the VP Series with RC8A controller supports standard I/O, signal lines, and air piping integration. Internal routing of cables and air lines simplifies integration and prevents interference with surrounding equipment.
