A compact, computer-controlled robot for high speed, close-tolerance assembly, light materials handling, and inspection applications.

Features
The Series 200 is the most compact model in the UNIMATE PUMA line of electrically driven robots. With an 18 inch reach, and a 2.2 pound payload capacity, the PUMA Series 200 robot is designed for medium to high speed assembly and materials handling. It's capabilities are particularly suited to the requirements of electronics and other industries where lightweight parts handling is highly repetitive, fast, and precise.

Ease Of Use
VAL^tm, a revolutionary advance in robot control systems, is used to control and program PUMA robots. The system uses an LSI-11 as a central processing unit and communicates with individual joint processors for servo control of robot arm motions. The results are ease in set-up, high-tolerance repeatability, and greater application versatility.

VAL^tm combines a sophisticated, easy-to-use robot programming capability with advanced servo control methods. Intuitive English-language instruction provides fast, efficient program generation and editing capabilities. All servo-path computations are performed in real-time, which makes it possible to interface with sensory-based systems.

Applications
With it's high speed, repeatability, and flexibility, the PUMA 200robot is suited to a wide range of small parts-handling applications, and VAL^tm control makes it easy to design application programs to carry out the most difficult robotic tasks.

Current assembly applications include automotive instrument panels, small electric motors, printed circuit boards, subassemblies for radios, television sets, appliances and more. Other applications include packaging functions in the pharmaceutical, personal care, and food industries. Palletizing of small parts, inspection, and electronic-parts handling in the computer, aero-space and defense industries round out the present installed base.
