What is the Techman TM14?
The TM14 prioritizes payload (14 kg) over extended reach (1100 mm), targeting applications where load handling is critical and workspace is moderately sized. Vision integration remains a core strength.
Who is it for?
Automotive assembly plants requiring sub-frame or engine block handling, heavy equipment manufacturers, and industrial facilities automating large-component manipulation with visual intelligence.
Key Specifications
- Payload: 14 kg
- Reach: 1100 mm
- Integrated Vision: Dual stereo cameras
- Repeatability: ±0.05 mm
- Operating Speed: 1 m/s
- Weight: 32 kg
- Torque Capacity: High-torque joint design
How it Compares
Payload (14 kg) exceeds UR10e. Reach (1100 mm) is moderate, trading extended workspace for load. Vision provides unique advantage vs. traditional heavy arms.
Limitations
Reach of 1100 mm constrained in very large cells. Payload still below 16 kg. Larger footprint and weight require robust mounting infrastructure.
FAQ
Is it suitable for automotive sub-frame assembly?
Yes, primary target. Vision detects frame orientation; robot positions and holds during fastening. Coordinated with press controllers.
What is load-holding torque at wrist?
Sufficient for 14 kg vertical holding without slip. Force control allows 20–30 N gripper pressure adjustment for delicate components.
Can it work alongside TM12 in multi-robot cells?
Yes. Programming is similar; fleet management cloud orchestrates. TM12 (12 kg) + TM14 (14 kg) pairs common for staged assembly.
What vision processing lag for heavy tasks?
30–100 ms latency typical. Suitable for assembly; too slow for high-speed pick-and-place.
Is it suitable for welding support?
Not for arc welding (thermal stress). Suitable for positioning before welding and post-weld part transfer.
