Kikobot DI Series delta robot

Models and selection

Choose the configuration for the job

DI500 and DI1000 share the published payload, repeatability and maximum CPM. Select by workspace, then validate the real cycle using the part, tool, path and dwell time.

DI500

Ø500 × 220 mm workspace

DI1000

Ø1000 × 350 mm workspace

Values shown are from the current dedicated DI Series specification sheet. Maximum CPM is a platform value; application output depends on the payload, tool, motion path and dwell time and must be validated for the line.

Selection checklist

What we need to size the system

A model number is only the starting point. These application inputs determine whether the robot, tooling and cell can meet the job.

Product and throughput

Part dimensions and mass, current output, target output, required cycle and expected operating pattern.

Pick geometry

Conveyor width and speed, pick distribution, place pattern, Z travel, dwell and orientation change.

Tooling and perception

Gripper or vacuum requirements, product presentation, camera, lighting and inspection requirements.

Line integration

PLC, EtherCAT topology, upstream and downstream equipment, mounting frame, utilities and environment.

Key features

Published platform performance

The current DI datasheet lists up to 120 cycles per minute and 0.5 mm repeatability. Application output must be validated against the actual payload and path.

Lightweight structure

Carbon-fibre arms for high stiffness and faster cycles.

Easy programming

Drag-and-drop routines in Kikobot Delta Studio.

Quick deployment

Compact modular design for fast setup and minimal downtime.

Smart integration

Pairs with vision systems, grippers and conveyors.

Standard platform

Published platform and delivery scope

The published DI platform specification includes the following across DI500 and DI1000.

Kikobot Delta Studio

Control software for programming DI Series routines.

EtherCAT

The standard communication interface on both published models.

Overhead mounting

The standard installation method for DI500 and DI1000.

100–240 V AC

50/60 Hz power input.

Why Kikobot

Why choose the Kikobot DI platform

Common DI platform

DI500 and DI1000 share the published payload, repeatability, maximum CPM, communication and control-software specification.

Before you order

What the written proposal will confirm

Industrial systems are configured and quoted, not purchased from a generic cart. The proposal is the source of truth for the application and commercial scope.

Performance basis

The payload, motion path, dwell time and operating assumptions used for the proposed cycle rate.

System boundary

Robot, controller, tooling, vision, conveyor interfaces, mounting and guarding included or assigned to others.

Delivery and acceptance

Price, delivery, commissioning, training, warranty and the agreed method for checking the application at handover.

Published specifications support initial selection. Final suitability, safety, cycle performance and acceptance are established for the configured application before order.
