1.2 Robot Overview

The Viper 650 and Viper 850 robots are high-performance, six-axis articulated robots designed
specifically for assembly applications. The speed and precision of the Viper robots also make
them ideal for material handling, packaging, machine tending, and many other operations
requiring fast and precise automation.
EtherCAT communications allow the robots to operate together with EtherCAT nodes, other
Sysmac products, and the Sysmac Studio Automation Software to achieve optimum func-
tionality and ease of operation.

These robots are offered with two different arm reaches to provide different working envelopes.
The Viper 650 has a 650 mm radial reach and the Viper 850 has an 850 mm radial reach,
measured from Joint 1 to Joint 5. Refer to Robot Physical Dimension Drawings on page 107
NOTE: The descriptions and instructions in this manual apply to all Viper 650
and 850 Robot with EtherCAT. If there are differences based on type or options,
this manual will provide details in the associated sections.
