FAQ
What is the difference between the TVL500 and TVL700?
The TVL700 offers 7kg payload (vs 5kg) and 700mm reach (vs 500mm), extending the TVL platform for applications requiring more payload or reach. Both share the same ±0.02mm repeatability and TS5000 controller.
Is the TVL700 suitable for machine tending?
Yes. The TVL700's 7kg payload and 700mm reach make it well suited for machine tending tasks involving small to medium precision components in electronics and general manufacturing.
How does the TVL700 compare to the Fanuc LR Mate 200iD/7L?
Both are compact 7kg 6-axis robots with comparable reach. The Fanuc LR Mate has a larger global integrator ecosystem; Shibaura Machine is competitive in Japanese and Asian precision manufacturing markets with comparable repeatability.
