Thor

Heavy-duty cobot built for palletizing and machine tending.

Thor is Standard Bots' largest collaborative robot arm, built for palletizing and machine tending on rugged production lines. It carries a 30 kg payload with a 2,000 mm reach and holds plus or minus 0.025 mm repeatability, pairing industrial power with collaborative safety so it can work without a cage. Standard Bots states that Thor can carry its full 30 kg payload at collaborative speeds across its entire work envelope. Standard Bots designs and assembles Thor in the USA and backs it with US-based application engineers for training and support. Factronics USA supplies, installs, and supports Thor for production lines across Florida.

Key Features

Thor key features

Programming & Control

No-code Standard Bots OS
Operators build and edit routines through a no-code interface, without a dedicated programmer.
Standard Bots AI
Describe a task in plain language and get a draft program to review and refine through chat.
Reusable programs
Programs can be saved, reused, and adapted across different jobs for fast reconfiguration between tasks.
Offline operation
Once a program is deployed, Thor can run locally without an active internet connection. A connection is only needed for software updates, remote support, or connected features.

Mechanical & Tooling

High-torque actuation
Rugged design and high-torque actuation handle demanding jobs like palletizing and machine tending.
Full-envelope rated payload
Standard Bots states that, even accounting for reasonable tool-center-point offset, Thor can carry its 30 kg payload at collaborative speeds across its entire work envelope.
M8 8-pin tool connector
Power and I/O are supplied directly through the tool flange for simplified integration.
Broad gripper compatibility
Compatible with leading two-finger, three-finger, and suction grippers.

Integration & Support

Plant connectivity
Connects to existing plant equipment and PLCs using Modbus TCP or EtherNet/IP.
PoE at the wrist
A Power-over-Ethernet connection at the wrist simplifies cabling for wrist-mounted cameras and tooling.
US design and support
Standard Bots designs and assembles Thor in the USA and backs it with US-based application engineers for training and support.
Local Florida support
Factronics USA supplies, installs, and supports Thor for production lines across Florida.
