In the field of industrial automation, SCARA robots (Selective Compliance Assembly Robot Arm) have been an effective solution for tasks requiring precision and repeatability. However, applications in industries demanding strict hygiene conditions, such as food, pharmaceutical, and optical industries, require greater resistance and the ability to withstand rigorous cleaning procedures. This is where the SCARA FANUC SR-12iA/C model comes into play, a robot specifically designed to withstand the demands of these industrial environments while maintaining high performance.
This robot, developed by FANUC, has been optimized to operate in high hygiene environments, where cleaning standards are fundamental. Its ability to withstand rigorous cleaning procedures makes it an ideal option for automation in clean rooms and food processing plants. The SR-12iA/C’s ISO Class 5 cleanroom rating ensures that it can operate in environments where contamination must be kept to a minimum. Additionally, corrosion protection is essential to maintain the robot’s longevity and reliability, as cleaning environments often involve exposure to aggressive chemicals.
One of the most notable features of this robot is its design with high-strength materials. The SR-12iA/C is equipped with food-grade lubricants and anti-rust screws, allowing it to withstand exposure to extreme cleaning conditions without compromising its performance. This is crucial, as many industrial applications require robots to remain operational even after undergoing frequent and rigorous cleaning cycles.
Regarding its performance, the SCARA FANUC SR-12iA/C does not disappoint. With a payload of up to 12 kg and a reach of 900 mm, it is capable of performing assembly and material handling tasks with great precision and speed. Its repeatability of ±0.01 mm ensures that operations are consistent and exact, which is essential in environments where error margins are minimal.
The SR-12iA/C has also been designed to facilitate installation and reduce operating costs. Its compact design and integration of internal services simplify the installation process, allowing the robot to be quickly implemented in various production lines. Additionally, its intuitive web interface enables operators to configure and program the robot easily, without the need for additional equipment.
The flexibility of the SR-12iA/C is another significant advantage. Although it is specially designed for high hygiene environments, this robot is also suitable for a wide range of applications in sectors such as optics, pharmaceuticals, and electronics. This makes it a versatile solution that can adapt to different industries, improving productivity and operational efficiency without sacrificing quality or safety.
The SCARA FANUC SR-12iA/C represents an important advancement in industrial robotics, providing an efficient, hygienic, and flexible solution for industries that require robots capable of withstanding strict cleaning procedures. With its high performance, corrosion resistance, and ease of use, this robot is ready to face the challenges of the most demanding environments, driving automation without compromising hygiene or precision.
