Two linear axes position each arm along the workstation for flexible access to the working area.
01Introducing SAM

A platform for building robotic applications.

SAM combines linear positioning with multi-axis rotational motion in a sliding-arm architecture, giving flexible access to a working area.

It supports application-specific tools, end effectors, and workflows — a platform for building robotic applications, not just a standalone manipulator.

SAM product render: aluminium-frame workstation on castors with an enclosed top housing, a 10-inch touchscreen, an overhead sliding arm and a green work surface.
