Staubli TX2-90L

Staubli's TX2-90L is a 6-axis industrial arm that carries 12 kg out to a 1200 mm reach, and it joined the TX2 platform in 2016. Its tagline frames it as a clean-room capable arm for handling tasks, and the record builds that around a sealed construction. In a cell it shows up on material-handling and machine-tending, moving parts in and out of fixtures and machines.

The number that anchors this arm is 0.02 mm repeatability, and the record credits it with consistent accuracy across long duty cycles. That tight repeatability is what puts it in the running for assembly, where a part has to land in the same spot each cycle. A 12 kg payload leaves headroom for a gripper plus the workpiece on those tasks.

Layout options are broad, since it mounts in Floor, Wall, Ceiling, and Angle positions. That range lets a cell hang it over a machine or set it alongside one, reaching the same 1200 mm work-envelope from different orientations. The arm masses 117 kg and runs on the CS9 controller.

For lines that care about cleanliness the record leans on a clean, sealed structure as the arm's signature. Its body carries a rated IP65/IP67. The same profile lends itself to dispensing, where a steady, repeatable path matters.

Two trade-offs sit in the record. The arm runs a premium cost against general-purpose machines, and its reach stays modest next to standard industrial arms. Neither changes what it does well, they just frame where it fits.

So the fit reads cleanly. If a job needs 12 kg at 1200 mm with 0.02 mm repeatability and the freedom to mount on floor, wall, ceiling, or angle, the TX2-90L is a strong match. Teams that need long reach or the lowest sticker price should weigh that modest reach and premium cost before committing.
