EFORT ER230-2700F

The EFORT ER230-2700F sits in the heavy-payload class: according to the manufacturer, it lifts 230 kg at the wrist over a 2,702 mm reach, on 6 axes driven by EFORT's M-type controller. EFORT files it both in its dedicated heavy-payload series and among its high-protection robots. No IP rating is published for it, so the actual protection level has to be confirmed against your environment before ordering.

Typical jobs named by the maker are heavy handling, press tending and large-part work cells, mainly in automotive and metalworking plants. On site, a buyer should check the floor slab and anchoring for a robot of this class, the space needed for the full working envelope and its fencing, the combined weight and centre of gravity of gripper and part, and whether coolant, dust or spray around the press really call for the protected version.

Next to the ER280-3100 it carries a lighter maximum load over a shorter reach, which keeps a press-tending cell tighter; the ER280-3100 takes over for larger castings or body parts. Against the ER35-2700, whose reach is almost identical, it is the arm for far heavier loads. Robot Distribution supplies it through a partner integrator who handles gripper design, safety and commissioning.
