Scara Robot
The SCARA Robot (Selective Compliance Assembly Robot Arm) has a design that is similar to the human arm. At the end of the arm is a rotating Z-axis carriage, which rotates independently of its perpendicular movement (U-axis). More.
This robot type was especially developed for pick-and-place applications and has a defined flexibility in the XY direction when a transverse force is applied. This designed-in property, which is not controlled by other manufacturers, clearly separates SCARA from other kinematics devices. |
Assembly & Handling
| SCARAs are optimised for use in assembly and handling due to their design principles and as such are often referred to as “assembly robots” or as “horizontal articulated arm robots”. |
 | With the new G-series, Epson is launching its newest SCARA generation on the market. The complete series includes 168 variations with reaches of between 450 and 1000 millimetres and payloads of between 6 kg and 20 kg. Fitted with Epson Smart Motion Technology, the G-scaras work considerably quicker than their predecessors even though they have an increased working range and the familiar high precision and reliability. When combined with the compact Epson RC180 control system, the G-series offers exceptional performance at high operational comfort, and all this at an exceptionally low price. |
more | Designed for High Precision Tasks: Several Compact SCARAs, with their 250 or 350 mm working radius and intelligent handling properties, can be used together in the space that would be occupied by a single robot with standard dimensions. |
