Robot 1880

The new Polar robot, reportedly capable of handling payloads to 2,000 lb, is designed specifically to maximize vertical stroke while minimizing ceiling-height requirements. Initially made to be stationary, with a circular work area similar to an arm robot, the Polar is now combined with a mobile base to extend the working envelope to virtually any length, the co. says.
