The Acme R7 arm ships in October. It adds a sixth axis, a 12 kg payload (up from 9 kg), and a redesigned gripper. Early customers report cycle times about 15% faster than the R6. List price is unchanged at $28,400.
Two integration partners are certified for the R7 at launch, with three more expected by year end. Firmware 4.2 is required.
