Food packaging lines and medical lab benches have the same problem: the robot must be light enough to mount on a cart or workstation, precise enough to handle delicate items, and cleanable enough to meet hygiene standards. RealMan RM75-B is a 7-axis collaborative robot weighing 7.8kg including controller – lighter than a typical desktop PC. It handles 5kg payloads across 610mm reach, mounts in any orientation, and IP54 rating makes it washdown-ready for food environments.

Can I mount a 7-axis robot on a mobile cart?

Most collaborative robots weigh 18–25kg – too heavy for a push cart without a counterweight. At 7.8kg total (arm + controller), RM75-B mounts on a standard lab cart or mobile work table. The 24V DC power means it runs from a battery pack, not a fixed power drop. This replaces stationary SCARA arms that cannot move between production lines, reducing robot count from three to one per shift.

What tasks benefit from a 7th axis on a 5kg robot?

Dispensing glue along a curved path, screwing into a 360° thread, or picking parts from a deep bin – these tasks require wrist rotation beyond the reach of a 6-axis arm. The RM75-B's J7 rotates continuously (±360°) for screwing operations, while the remaining 6 axes position the wrist at any angle. This replaces multiple specialized tools with one arm that reorients the tool, not the part.

Is IP54 enough for food and medical applications?

Food production requires splash-proof enclosures that withstand daily washdown. IP54 means the RM75-B is dust-protected and splash-proof from any direction – suitable for wet cleaning with non-corrosive detergents. Medical labs require the same protection for blood or chemical splashes. This replaces open-frame robots that require an external protective cover – adding weight and reducing reach.
