General Robot Arm

SZGH General Purpose Robot Arm — 3–50 kg, 6-Axis Multi-Application

SZGHTECH's SZGH-T Series is the widest general-purpose robot arm lineup in our catalog — 11 six-axis articulated models spanning 3 kg to 50 kg payload and 750 mm to 2,950 mm reach, built to handle material handling, parts transmission, machine tending, assembly, gluing, and light welding across manufacturing floors of every size. Unlike our dedicated welding, painting, or grinding robots, the SZGH-T Series general purpose robot arm is application-agnostic — factories deploy the same base platform for CNC lathe loading/unloading, cable and wire handling, injection-molded part removal, laboratory teaching platforms, and multi-station parts transfer, simply by swapping the end-of-arm tooling. Whether you need a compact desktop unit for a teaching lab (SZGH-T750-B-6, 750 mm reach) or the longest-reach model in the series for large injection-molding parts (SZGH-T2950-3C-6, 2,950 mm reach), the SZGH-T Series covers every payload tier in between. All models are CE certified and backed by SZGH's self-developed motion controller. Free engineering consultation and 24-hour quotation included.

How to Choose the Right General Purpose Robot Arm

What is a general purpose robot arm?

A general purpose robot arm is a 6-axis articulated industrial robot designed for a wide range of tasks — handling, assembly, machine tending, gluing, packaging, and light welding — rather than being optimized for one specific process like welding or painting. The SZGH-T Series covers 11 payload/reach combinations from 3 kg/950 mm up to 50 kg/2,100 mm, so the same base platform serves teaching labs, CNC machine shops, and heavy cable-handling lines alike.

How to choose payload for a robot arm?

Size the payload to your heaviest workpiece plus end-of-arm tooling weight (gripper, fixture, or tool), with roughly 20–30% headroom for safety and acceleration forces. For example, a 15 kg part with a 3 kg gripper should use at least a 20–30 kg payload robot, such as the SZGH-T1850-D-6 or SZGH-T2300-3C-6.

What payload robot arm do I need for CNC machine tending?

Most CNC lathe and milling machine tending applications use 10 kg payload robots — the SZGH-T1000-C-6 (1,000 mm reach) or SZGH-T1500-C-6 (1,500 mm reach) — sized to handle typical workpiece and chuck-gripper combinations. For heavier castings or dual-machine tending setups, step up to the SZGH-T2100-C-6.

Difference between general purpose and welding robot?

A general purpose robot arm like the SZGH-T Series is application-agnostic — it can be equipped with a welding torch, gripper, or vacuum tool depending on the job. A dedicated welding robot (SZGH-H Series) ships with welding-specific software packages, torch cable management, and wire-feed integration built in. General purpose robots are more flexible but require more end-of-arm tooling engineering for specialized processes like arc welding.

How much does a general purpose robot arm cost?

A complete SZGH-T robot cell — robot + controller + end-of-arm tooling + safety guarding — typically prices USD 8,000 – 35,000 depending on payload tier and tooling complexity. Free line-itemized quote within 24 hours.

Why Manufacturers Choose SZGH General Purpose Robot Arms

1. Widest Payload Range in a Single Series

From 3 kg to 50 kg across 11 models, the SZGH-T Series lets factories standardize on one robot brand and control platform across multiple work cells and applications.

2. Application-Agnostic Design

Unlike SZGH's dedicated welding, painting, or grinding robots, the SZGH-T Series adapts to handling, assembly, gluing, testing, and light welding tasks with the same base hardware — reducing spare-parts and training complexity.

3. Proven on Real Production Lines

Application cases span NC lathe automatic loading/unloading, cable packaging lines, laboratory teaching platforms, and large injection-molding part handling — not just showroom demonstrations.

4. Self-Developed Motion Controller (100+ Patents)

SZGH's intelligent robot control system is independently developed in-house, giving consistent performance and support across the entire SZGH-T lineup.

5. Full CE Certification, Factory-Direct Pricing

CE certified (EN 60204-1, EN ISO 12100, EN ISO 10218), factory-direct from Shenzhen. Typical price 30-50% below Japanese/European general-purpose robot brands.

6. 48-Hour Global Spare Parts Dispatch

Backed by SZGH's global spare-parts network and free engineering consultation, minimizing downtime across all 11 SZGH-T models.

FAQ

Q1: What is a general purpose robot arm used for?

A general purpose robot arm handles material handling, parts transmission, machine tending, assembly, gluing, packaging, testing, and light welding. The SZGH-T Series covers these applications across 11 models from 3 kg to 50 kg payload.

Q2: How many SZGH-T general purpose robot models are there?

11 models: SZGH-T950-A-6, SZGH-T990B, SZGH-T750-B-6, SZGH-T920-7, SZGH-T1000-C-6, SZGH-T1500-C-6, SZGH-T2100-C-6, SZGH-T1850-D-6, SZGH-T2300-3C-6, SZGH-T2950-3C-6, and SZGH-T2100-E-6, spanning 3-50 kg payload and 750-2,950 mm reach.

Q3: What payload robot arm do I need for CNC machine tending?

Most CNC lathe and milling tending applications use 10 kg payload models — the SZGH-T1000-C-6 or SZGH-T1500-C-6 — sized to typical workpiece and gripper weight.

Q4: How much does a general purpose robot arm cost?

A complete cell (robot + controller + end-of-arm tooling + safety guarding) typically prices USD 8,000-35,000 depending on payload tier and tooling complexity. Free line-itemized quote in 24 hours.

Q5: What is the heaviest-payload model in the SZGH-T Series?
