FlexLink’s RC12 collaborative robot optimizes manufacturing processes by combining reliable automation tech with ease of use.

The RC12 built-in robotic technology simplifies production workflows and its compact design reduces the required floor space by more than 50% versus traditional industrial robots, making it ideal for production lines with limited space.

Further, the system operates without the need for barriers, cages or additional safety elements and meets ISO/TS 15066 safety standards for collaborative robotics.

Meanwhile, its redesigned gripper and additional safety padding allow for the safe interaction between workers and the machine while its integrated Human-Machine Interface (HMI) and Robot Config palletizing software enables operators to create and adjust pallet patterns in minutes.

Further, it features a capacity of up to 14 cases per minute using a double-pick gripper and its redesigned base includes an enlarged electrical cabinet for easy customization, maintenance and access.
