HSR-HC403-590 model positioning and working condition adaptation
HSR-HC403-590 It belongs to the HSR Robotics SR/HC series planar quad-axis robots, featuring a rated load of 3kg, a motion radius of 590mm, and a repeatability of ±0.02mm. HSR Robotics' technical foundation is Zhejiang University's technical background, with dual lines in education and industry, strong welding process packages and customization capabilities; The control platform is HSR Controller (HSC platform), and the programming ecosystem consists of graphical programming + scripting.
From the perspective of working condition adaptation, typical applications for small load (3kg) positioning are:High-speed sorting, precision assembly, dispensing coating, and inspection/pick-and-place processing。 The short-span (590mm) model has a compact structure, suitable for dense workstations and close-range pick-and-place operations, with a small working unit footprint. ± 0.02mm repeatability is the standard level for six-axis industrial robots, covering the vast majority of welding operations, handling, palletizing, and loading and unloading operations. Although the load is light, it is recommended to keep the total weight of the end and workpiece within 70% of the rated value, leaving ample acceleration margin at high speeds.
| Parameters | Engineering interpretation and usage recommendations |
|---|---|
| Rated load 3kg | It is recommended to reserve a load margin of 20%–30%; Verification is made by combining end self-weight + workpiece + imbalanced load inertia, especially sensitive to high-speed conditions |
| Movement radius: 590mm | Determine the radius of the workcell layout: bins, tooling, and fences are bounded by maximum arm span + safety distance; Verify the accessibility of each pick-and-place point during cross-station service |
| Repeatability: ±0.02mm | Repeatability ≠ absolute accuracy: Precision assembly requires external measurement closed-loop or visual guidance; Long-term accuracy trends rely on annual retest management |
| Protection rating IP65 | Prevents water and dust jets, sufficient for conventional industrial environments |
| Main body weight: 25kg | Installation base and foundation load-bearing check based on weight + dynamic load; Floor slab installation requires structural calculation, with heavy-duty models serving as independent foundations |
| Controller: HSR Controller (HSC platform) | Decide on the process ecosystem, spare parts channels, and second-hand residual value; Currently, spare parts channels are smooth, and repair and upgrade paths are mature |
Control systems and common failure modes
The HSR-HC403-590 is equipped with the HSR Controller (HSC platform) controller, with a programming language and development environment of graphical programming + scripting. Maintenance of this generation of control platforms focuses on three basic components: power, storage, and cooling—most "sudden downtime" can be detected in advance when preventive maintenance is in place.
| Failure mode | Typical performance | Disposal recommendations |
|---|---|---|
| Driver alarm and encoder abnormality | Driver alarm and encoder abnormality | Included as a mandatory inspection item for annual maintenance, with spare parts stocked in advance |
| Teach pendant system failure | Teach pendant system failure | Initial interpretation of alarm codes by reference with manuals, remote diagnosis allows for early positioning |
| Bus communication was interrupted | Bus communication was interrupted | Daily inspection coverage, with abnormal trends (abnormal noises/temperature rise/errors) recorded |
| IO module abnormal | IO module abnormal | Quarterly dust removal maintenance and cabinet temperature monitoring |
| Maintenance projects | Cycle recommendations | Key points |
|---|---|---|
| Establish a parameter backup system | According to the manufacturer's manual cycle | Establish a parameter backup system |
| Batteries should be replaced periodically | By cycle | Batteries should be replaced periodically |
| Reducer lubrication management | According to the manufacturer's manual cycle | Reducer lubrication management |
| Cable and drag chain inspection | every six months | Insulation, shielding, and bending radius inspection of power and encoder lines, as well as wear of cables inside the drag chain, are the main causes of intermittent faults |
| Zero point and accuracy retest | Every year | Repeatability measured by dial gauges or laser trackers, drift trend digitization—accuracy degradation can be seen six months in advance |
| Control cabinet dust removal and fans | Every quarter | Filter cleaning, fan speed and noise checks, cabinet temperature recording; Dust environments shorten the cycle |

Common issues with this device
Is it easy to find spare parts for HSR-HC403-590?
Washu Robotics has smooth spare parts channels for this generation, with regular parts such as drivers, power modules, batteries, and teach pendant components available in stock or short-cycle channels; Parameter backup system for establishing consumables is recommended to be configured according to the annual maintenance contract.
With a rated load of 3kg, how much weight can it actually handle?
The rated load is the static load limit of the flange surface. In actual selection, three factors must be considered: the self-weight of the end fixture (vacuum suction cup groups or grippers often account for 2–5kg), the inertia generated by the workpiece offload (checked according to the inertia ratio when the center of gravity deviates from the flange center), and the dynamic load during high-speed movement. The conventional engineering practice is to keep the "end + workpiece" within 70%–80% of the rated value to ensure cycle time and service life.
If the equipment's accuracy deteriorates after several years of use, how can it be restored?
According to the inspection order: first check whether the zero point is drifting (common after collision or battery depletion), then perform zero calibration; Check the reducer's return error (actual measurement of forward and reverse positioning deviation; if exceeded, disassemble or replace); Then check the installation base fastening and foundation settlement; Finally, trajectory compensation parameter restructuring. Most accuracy issues can be mostly restored after calibration and maintenance, so there is no need to rush into major repairs—we first release the inspection data before deciding on the plan.
Is the used HSR-HC403-590 worth buying?
There was a large stock of education, and second-hand industrial circulation was gradually emerging; Suitable for teaching and light industry conditions. Three essential items for second-hand procurement: comprehensive inspection reports (axial accuracy, driver status, insulation and battery), maintenance history and operating hours, controller generation, and software license integrity. Every used machine we sell comes with inspection records and a 12-month warranty, and we can also accept third-party inspections designated by customers.
