Stäubli Robotics: TX2 and TS2 Robots for Integrated Production Cells
Stäubli Robotics combines TX2 articulated arms, TS2 SCARA robots and CS9 control. Review environment-specific configurations, software scope and application validation for each production cell.
A robotics business within the Stäubli group
Stäubli Robotics supplies industrial robot systems within the Stäubli group. The group's legal notice identifies Stäubli International AG in Switzerland as the website publisher and distinguishes the group from its subsidiaries and affiliates. Buyers should identify the actual sales entity in the quotation. This profile covers the robotics business, without assuming that the website publisher contracts every installation.
TX2 articulated robots
The TX2-60 product page illustrates the six-axis TX2 offering and distinguishes standard and longer-reach variants. Articulated motion suits tasks requiring changes in tool orientation, such as assembly, handling and access to processing stations. Model selection should consider the complete tool load, usable work envelope and mounting arrangement. Do not transfer one variant's load specification to another.
TS2 SCARA alternatives
The TS2 range provides four-axis SCARA robots for applications such as assembly and pick-and-place. Compare this geometry with a TX2 using actual movements rather than assuming that more axes automatically improve throughput. Include fixture access, vertical travel, part presentation and tool rotation in the simulation. Required precision and cycle time must be evaluated together under the proposed load.
Food automation in a dated event programme
Stäubli's 11 March 2025 IFFA announcement presented food-production automation themes for the exhibition scheduled for 3–8 May 2025 in Frankfurt. It described applications ranging from handling and sorting to packaging. This is dated application and exhibition evidence, not a customer acceptance record. A historical demonstration does not establish the hygiene qualification of a newly proposed cell.
Environment and cleaning requirements
For wet, dusty or hygiene-sensitive work, give the supplier the actual cleaning procedure, materials, exposure conditions and maintenance access requirements. Request the appropriate robot variant and documentation for that environment. Protection of an arm, controller and connections can differ. The complete process, including tooling, fixtures, cabling and cleaning practices, requires its own assessment by the responsible project team.
CS9 control and engineering software
CS9 controllers and Stäubli Robotics Suite form part of the engineering discussion. Obtain a written pairing of robot, controller, firmware, programming tools and purchased software features. Identify which licences are required for development, simulation and later maintenance. A simulation package should be used with representative tool and fixture models, then checked against the physical installation.
Integration and commercial responsibility
Ask whether the offer supplies equipment, application engineering or a complete production cell. Assign responsibility for PLC handshakes, vision, end effectors, protective measures, commissioning and operator instruction. Confirm regional support, spare parts, service response and procedures after a programme or tool change. Website information describes products and services; it does not establish negotiated delivery dates, warranty terms or installed performance.
Define the acceptance workload
Provide a part family, process sequence, environmental requirements and measurable output criteria. Include changeover, abnormal parts, recovery and planned cleaning in a representative trial. Compare total integration effort and supported operation, not just nominal robot speed. Use Write a Robotics Buyer Brief, review Industrial & Collaborative Robots, or prepare a Robotics RFQ.
