The TX2-90 is the highest-payload variant in the Stäubli TX2-90 family of 6-axis articulated robots, delivering 14 kg maximum capacity at a 1,000 mm reach. Built on a fully enclosed hollow-shaft arm with no external cables, it combines high-speed motion — up to 10.9 m/s Cartesian speed — with ±0.03 mm repeatability for precision tasks in medium-sized work cells across metalworking, electronics, and pharmaceutical industries.

How does the TX2-90 differ from the TX2-90L and TX2-90XL?

Within the TX2-90 family, the three variants trade payload for reach. The TX2-90 carries 14 kg at 1,000 mm — the highest payload of the three. The TX2-90L extends reach to 1,200 mm with a 12 kg maximum payload, and the TX2-90XL reaches 1,450 mm at 7 kg. For applications where workpiece weight exceeds 12 kg and the work envelope fits within a 1,000 mm radius, the TX2-90 is the correct choice.

What environments can the TX2-90 operate in?

The standard TX2-90 is IP65-rated with IP67 available via pressurization, making it suitable for wet, dusty, and harsh industrial environments. Stäubli also offers specialized variants: ESD for electronics handling, HE (Humid Environment) for water-jet cutting and food processing, Stericlean for aseptic pharmaceutical production, and SCR (Super Cleanroom) certified to ISO 14644-1 Class 2. The robot mounts in any orientation — floor, wall, or ceiling — with the CS9 controller managing all configurations.

What collaborative safety features are available?

The TX2-90 supports optional SIL3 / PL e certified safety functions for human-robot collaboration, including safe limited speed, safe stop, and safe zone monitoring. These functions allow the robot to operate without physical guarding in designated collaborative workspaces while maintaining full industrial speed in non-collaborative zones — a key advantage over dedicated cobots that are speed-limited across their entire work envelope.
