Hanwha Robotics Unveils Collaborative Robot HCR-10L: "Longest Operating Range in Its Class"

Introducing 'Motion Tracking' Technology for Human Movement Learning

Hanwha Robotics unveiled its next-generation collaborative robot, the 'HCR-10L,' for the first time at the 'International Manufacturing Technology Show 2024 (IMTS 2024)' held in the United States on the 9th. IMTS 2024, which runs until the 14th, is the world's largest manufacturing technology exhibition, featuring participation from over 1,800 companies across 29 countries.

The newly introduced HCR-10L is a long-reach type collaborative robot capable of extending its arm up to 1800 mm. It offers the longest operating range worldwide compared to other robots with the same payload capacity (10 kg). It can be utilized in various industrial fields such as powder coating, loading, and welding. A key feature is its ability to operate flexibly even in wide workspaces.

At the exhibition, Hanwha Robotics also showcased its 'Motion Tracking & Recording' technology, which optimizes human movements for collaborative robots. On-site, the HCR-10L collaborative robot demonstrated rapid automatic repetition after learning an expert’s vehicle hood and wheel powder coating methods.

Additionally, Hanwha Robotics presented various applications incorporating its proprietary technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI), safety solutions, and wine decanting and breathing.

Jung Byung-chan, CEO of Hanwha Robotics, stated, "With the introduction of the HCR-10L, we aim to establish a foothold for entering the U.S. and European markets. We plan to continuously expand overseas dealerships to increase our global market share in robotics."
