EC66 datasheet prints 17.5 kg and IP54

Elite Robots' EC66 datasheet (EC Series 1.1) prints robotic-arm weight 17.5 kg, IP rating IP54, footprint diameter 150 mm, typical power usage 250 W, temperature range -10 to 50 C, relative humidity 5 to 95 percent non-condensing, noise reduction under 70 dB, mounting any angle, and cable length 5.5 m. The stored 6 kg payload, 914 mm reach, and +/- 0.03 mm accuracy lines are not this mass and rating row. The same sheet also prints typical TCP speed 1.5 m/s (Elite EC66 datasheet).

EC66 datasheet prints joint speeds and 16 DI / 20 DO

The same EC66 datasheet prints joint rotation J1 to J6 +/- 360 deg, joint speed J1-J2 150 deg/s, J3 190 deg/s, and J4-J6 260 deg/s. Tool I/O prints a 12-pin connector with 2 DI, 2 DO, 1 AI, 1 AO, and 24 V / 2 A. The standard controller table prints I/O 16 DI, 20 DO, 2 AI, 4 AO, size 505 x 246 x 447 mm, IP44, weight 15 kg, and power 90-264 VAC 50-60 Hz or 19-72 VDC (Elite EC66 datasheet).
