Overview
The SigmaTau robot achieves superior rigidity, accuracy, and dynamic motion performance due to the lightweight eight-link SigmaTau parallel kinematic concept. It provides a high-level of flexibility and can be integrated with other production equipment, installed on a regular industrial building foundation, and can even be reconfigured and moved after initial deployment.
