What does IP67 rating mean for real-world use?
IP67 means the B2 is completely dust-tight and can be submerged in 1 meter of water for 30 minutes. In practical terms: the B2 can operate in torrential rain, wade through flooded areas, and be washed down with a hose — making it the only legged robot suitable for all-weather outdoor industrial deployment.
How does the B2 compare to the A2?
The B2 (60kg, 360N.m, IP67, from $120,000) is nearly 50% heavier with double the torque and full waterproofing compared to the A2 (42kg, 180N.m, IP56, from $52,000). Choose the A2 for standard industrial inspection, and the B2 for extreme environments where failure is not an option. Detailed comparison.
Can the B2 operate in hazardous areas?
Yes. The B2 can be configured with ATEX/IECEx certification for operation in potentially explosive atmospheres. It can carry gas sensors, radiation detectors, and thermal cameras for comprehensive hazmat assessment. Contact RobotMall for certification requirements.
