Similarly to the Brooks PreciseFlex c8A robot, the Brooks PreciseFlex 100 XZTS robots have been developed by combining two robots’ models, to which the gripper has been added. This allows to handle the 3 degrees of freedom of the arm (linear movements along the X and Z axes, and rotation Theta around the Z axis), and the degree of freedom of the gripper.

The Brooks PreciseFlex 100 XZTS with 685 mm of range of motion on the X axis is shown below.

Like the Brooks PreciseFlex c8A robot, the Brooks PreciseFlex 100 XZTS robots are not compatible with the post processor.

If a Tool Center Point (TCP) must be added, this must be defined with respect to the flange of the Theta (rotation around the Z-axis) mechanism of the robot.

Look at the information reported in the paragraph “Tool Center Point (TCP)” to set the pose of the TCP as it is configured in the robot’s controller.
