About
About HDC35-18
HD Hyundai Robotics HDC35-18 is a six-axis hybrid collaborative robot positioned for heavier material handling and machine tending. It supports a 35-kilogram payload over a 1,880-millimetre reach, with specified repeatability of ±0.05 millimetres. That combination gives integrators ten kilograms more wrist capacity than the HDC25-18 while retaining the same nominal work envelope.
The arm weighs 215 kilograms, uses the Hi7-N00-70 controller and reaches a stated maximum TCP speed of 5.91 metres per second. HD Hyundai pairs the HDC mechanical platform with its SafeSpace 2.0 workspace and safety functions. Actual collaborative operation depends on the complete application, including end effector, workpiece, speed limits, separation measures and a site-specific risk assessment.

Timeline
- HD Hyundai Robotics demonstrates HDC35-18 safety response in Yongin
2026-09-16 - Demonstration - The 16 September demonstration took place at HD Hyundai Robotics’ reliability center in Yongin, Gyeonggi Province. SafeSpace 2.0, radar sensing and collision detection reduced motion in stages, then resumed normal speed as the person moved away. The company reported field verification in automotive-part handling and machining and supply discussions with more than 30 potential clients.

2026-07-01 - Product Launch - The HDC50-17, HDC35-18 and HDC25-18 launched with payload ratings of 50 kg, 35 kg and 25 kg, respectively. Radar-based worker detection and SafeSpace 2.0 adjust operating speed around people within configured industrial cells. The range targets heavy handling, palletizing and CNC machine loading in automotive, battery and logistics applications.
