Reality check
A demo shows what may be possible. These points help judge whether the product fits day-to-day use.
Works well when
- Stable, repetitive handling, tending, welding or assembly
- Processes with known parts, fixtures and cycle times
- Cells where an integrator can own commissioning
What to check
- Payload after adding the gripper and cables
- End effector, vision and safety-cell cost
- Changeover time when the part or fixture changes
Not a magic solution
- A solution for a process that changes every day
- A turnkey cell without integration and safety work
- A reason to skip measuring the current process
About
Kinova Link 6 is an industrial collaborative arm with no-code visual programming and hand-guided teaching. Its 2024 datasheet specifies 6.0 kg continuous payload across the full range at 200 mm from the wrist, 1149 mm reach and 2.0 m/s maximum Cartesian TCP speed. The arm weighs 23.45 kg including a 5 m cable. A built-in six-axis force/torque sensor and wrist I/O support cell integration; the vision module is optional.
