Rise Robotics’ Superjammer Seeks World Record for Strength

by Anna

Rise Robotics is making waves in the industrial robotics world with its electric Superjammer robotic arm, now setting its sights on securing a spot in the Guinness Book of World Records as the world’s strongest non-hydraulic robotic arm.

For nearly a decade, the Fanuc M-2000iA/2300 has held the title for the strongest electric robotic arm, with an impressive lifting capacity of 2,300 kg (approximately 5,070 lbs.) using electronic gears, belts, and servos. This feat has dominated the electric robotic strength category, especially in a field where hydraulic systems typically reign supreme in heavy lifting and earth-moving operations.

However, Rise Robotics is shaking up the scene with its innovative approach. The company has developed a unique system known as “Beltdraulic” technology, which uses a combination of belts and pulleys, dubbed “BeltCylinders.” This novel setup allows the Superjammer arm to lift a claimed 2,930 kg (nearly 6,500 lbs.) to a height of 5 meters (15 feet), surpassing the Fanuc arm’s performance.

Electric Power Over Hydraulic Fluids

What sets the Superjammer apart is not only its impressive lifting power but also its fully electric design. Unlike traditional hydraulic systems, which rely on energy-intensive, petroleum-based hydraulic fluids, the Superjammer is emissions-free and uses up to 90% less power and fuel. This efficiency is a major benefit in industrial applications, particularly in cold environments where hydraulic fluids require time to warm up before use.

AI-Ready for Autonomous Integration

In line with modern technological trends, Rise Robotics has designed the Superjammer to be “AI-ready” and compatible with fully autonomous machines. Whether operated manually or autonomously, the arm offers enhanced control over loads and movements, minimizing backlash and eliminating hydraulic drift, which is common in hydraulic-powered systems.

Conclusion

The rise of Rise Robotics’ Superjammer is a promising development in the world of industrial robotics. With its groundbreaking Beltdraulic technology, impressive lifting capabilities, and energy-efficient, fully electric design, it’s poised to set new standards in robotic performance and power. As the industry shifts toward more sustainable and efficient solutions, the Superjammer may soon claim its rightful place as the strongest electric robotic arm in the world.
