What is the Doosan M1509?
The M1509 occupies the middle tier of Doosan's collaborative portfolio, balancing payload and reach for versatile industrial tasks. Its 15 kg capacity targets mid-weight components; its 900 mm reach covers standard work cells.
Who is it for?
Mid-tier manufacturers, integrators seeking a flexible mid-payload platform, and production managers automating medium-weight component assembly. Suitable for dual-robot systems where different payload needs exist.
Key Specifications
- Payload: 15 kg
- Reach: 900 mm
- Repeatability: ±0.05 mm
- Operating Speed: 1.2 m/s (max)
- Weight: 27 kg
- IP Rating: IP54
- Force Sensing: All-joint integration
How it Compares
Splits the difference between A0912 (9 kg) and H2017 (20 kg). Less expensive than H2017 while offering 67% more payload than A0912. Reach matches A0509/A0912, making it a vertical platform upgrade path.
Limitations
Payload of 15 kg still excludes heavy stamping or bulk material handling. 900 mm reach limits large workcell coverage compared to H2017. Not optimal for high-speed repetitive tasks.
FAQ
What industries typically deploy M1509?
Automotive sub-assembly, food packaging, electronics assembly, machine tending, and material handling between production stations.
How does 15 kg payload compare to competitors?
Sits between light cobots (5–9 kg) and heavy cobots (20+ kg). UR10e (10 kg) is lighter; ABB IRB 1410 (10 kg) is comparable; KUKA LBR iwa (7 kg) is lighter with higher torque sensing.
Can it perform multiple tasks?
Yes. Quick-change wrist enables gripper/tool swapping. Many installations run 3–4 different tasks per shift with tool management.
What is typical ROI in assembly automation?
3–5 years in developed markets. Payback driven by labor replacement and 24/7 uptime vs. 8-hour shifts.
Is training required for operators?
Basic 2–4 hour orientation typical. System integrator usually handles programming; operators need collision avoidance awareness only.
