When a project already needs more than 10 kg of payload headroom yet still wants teach-friendly deployment and a compact cell, r-Max offers two clear tiers: 16 kg compact heavy (1034 mm reach, ±0.03 mm repeatability) and 20 kg long-reach heavy (1854 mm reach, ±0.1 mm repeatability).
The 16 kg tier fits force-controlled assembly, compact machine tending, and heavy stations that still need tighter repeatability; the 20 kg tier covers larger envelopes for transfer and palletizing—often the default answer when r-Reach reach is not enough and r-Ultra 30 kg is more than day one requires.
The r-Max specs pages keep both variants—payload, reach, joint axes, and cabinet pairing—on one assessment path so procurement, integration, and the floor can share one link at bid stage. Modbus-ready I/O and ISO 9409-1 tooling stay consistent with the rest of the r-Series.
If you are choosing between r-Max and r-Ultra, the question is usually not the largest number—it is whether this heavy tier will still be the predictable, maintainable cell on your line five years out.
