Masinova Mamba

The next generation of industrial robot.

An ultra high speed spindle robot that does the work of machines many times its size. Smaller robots, smaller factories, lower energy use.

Robot design has not changed in decades.

Control and vision have advanced enormously. The mechanics underneath have not. Most arms are built on kinematics established decades ago, and every limit that comes with them is still treated as fixed.

10× output from the same space.

Both cells cover the same floor area, drawn to the same scale. A conventional layout fits four robots into it. Mamba fits sixteen, and every one of them runs at more than twice the rate.

Less mass in motion.

Every limit in a robot arm comes back to the same thing: the mass it has to move. Mamba was designed the other way round, starting from the lightest possible moving parts and building the performance back on top.

New motor technology

A new class of motor drives the arm directly, with no gearbox and no separate control cabinet. The electronics are inside the machine.

Patented arm

Every axis turns n × 360° without limit. No unwinding, no dead zones, no motion that produces nothing.

Balanced by design

Opposing masses cancel the forces of acceleration inside the machine, so extreme speed no longer demands a heavy frame or a reinforced floor.

A longer reach than the footprint.

Mamba reaches well beyond its own base, so neighbouring robots share the same space and pass work from one to the next. A line built this way needs far fewer conveyors than the one it replaces.

Where Mamba is used.

Life sciences, pharmaceutical production and electronics assembly, where space is expensive, contamination control is strict and product changes are constant. Mamba is sealed against dust and water, ready for cleanroom classification, and changes tooling in minutes. It installs one station at a time, alongside the robots already on the line.
