UFACTORY Lite 6 – Most Affordable Collaborative Robot Arm
The preferred robot arm for small and medium-sized enterprises, robotic researchers, and engineers
Nowadays, robots are widely used in big factories. They are expensive, large and heavy, they mainly work on heavy-duty tasks. However, few of them are designed for light and budget-friendly tasks. This raises a real challenge in keeping quick ROI in these tasks by using robots. A durable and affordable robot arm with industrial-grade accessories is key.
Designed with six axes, Lite 6 is perfect for simple, repetitive and monotonous tasks. It provides the speed and precision manufacturers require, meanwhile ensures quality and accuracy. The flexibility of Lite 6 allows manufacturers to optimize workflow, increase productivity, reduce floor space utilization, lower production costs.
Lite 6 helps researchers automate manual tasks and free up time to focus on more significant or pressing tasks. By using Lite 6 in lab automation, accidents and human error can be prevented. And above all, it can be customized easily to meet a lab’s needs.Compared to other robot arms in the market, Lite 6 is not only economical but also very excellent in performance.
By taking advantage of open source SDKs, robotics research will be much easier. Moreover, in order to make robot integration relatively intuitive and smooth, we are working on ROS/ROS2 seriously.Lite 6 is extremely versatile, it is able to gently test any type of touchscreen without leaving any traces or damage, and helps our clients to provide consumers with flawless products.
Lite 6 is lightweight and small, which is perfectly fit for space-saving applications such as robot bar, coffee machine. With a 500mm/s max speed and 1kg payload, it balances the efficiency and cost, especially for commercial applications.Compared with manual loading and unloading, Lite 6 drastically improves uptime. In addition, it's more accurate and repeatable, which increases the quality of parts produced, reduces the amount of human error in the machining process, maximizes throughput, and minimizes wasted materials and time.
All new cost-effective actuators. The harmonic drive is a must to guarantee the repeatability of the robot, but it is also very expensive. So Lite 6 has hybrid actuators design to balance the cost and performance. In our design, the harmonic drives are for the high torque joints and direct drive motors are for the rest.Moreover, crafted with carbon fiber, Lite 6 is 50% much lighter than other robots, which significantly helps to increase the payload up to 1kg.
Lite 6 is designed for 24/7 continually working. Combined with industrial-grade harmonic drive, actuators can execute the commands day and night without stopping.The built-in 16-bit absolute encoder and FOC control algorithm, the customized brushless motor creates smooth movement, high torque capability, and delivers excellent repeatability.No need to spend additional money on training and software, Lite 6 offers users free software - UFACTORY Studio, even non-specialists can run it in 2 hours. Users can simply drag and drop to program and control it by a graphical user interface, which saves training cost and operation time.
Users can teach the robot motions and positions easily and quickly, greatly simplifying robot programming, users can also program Lite 6 with Python, ROS, and C++. In addition, UFACTORY offers a free Simulator, users can try Lite 6 for free before they buy it.All-in-one Design Pneumatic Parallel Gripper Taking advantage of the built-in pump design, the pneumatic gripper works perfectly without external air tubes outside. Equipped with a linear bearing, it provides a stable and smooth grasp all the time.
Built-in pump design makes the internal wiring possible. And brushless pump motor enables the long-term lifetime for 24/7 continually working. Moreover, the air pressure sensor gives real-time feedback of pressure which makes drop-off detection possible.Thanks to a variety of I/O and communication interfaces, Lite 6 has excellent compatibility and extensibility, it can be integrated into various applications.Lite 6 is user-friendly and pre-calibrated, which enables users to apply it to any process and in a different setting without professional training.Lite 6 is a slave component rather than a master, thus it can be integrated easily via any computer or PLC.
Lite 6 SDK includes Python SDK, ROS/ROS2 SDK, and C++ SDK. A fully upgradable software platform that can grow in capabilities to make it a lasting and worthy long-term investment.Lite 6 Studio supports multiple platforms that enable you to control it not only with PC but also with your iPad or Android devices.
