TX2-160: Medium payload industrial robot with large work envelope

The TX2-160 stands at the upper end of the medium payload segment of the TX2 range. Its perfect balance between long reach, load capacity, and exceptional path accuracy makes it ideal for laser cutting, machine tending, material handling, and advanced assembly. 

The TX2-160 series come in 2 models, TX2-160 with standard reach and TX2-160L with an extended reach.

Designed for both industrial and sensitive environments, the TX2-160 can also be equipped with SIL3 / PL e certified safety options, enabling safe collaborative workflows without sacrificing cycle times.

Offering a load capacity of up to 40 kg and a maximum reach of 2,010 mm, the TX2-160 combines power and reach to handle larger parts, longer working envelopes, and more demanding automation scenarios.
