LATEST INNOVATIONS IN SCARA ROBOTS

The evolution of technology and trends in SCARA robots has grown with the implementation of robotic factories in recent years, according to analysis and research work carried out by experts in the global robot market. SCARA-type robots have a high level of demand in assembly, pick-and-place, and palletizing processes thanks to the fact that these robots are more flexible, with faster and shorter cycle times that are ideal for working in dangerous environments with small parts, providing optimum product quality and greater performance in processes. There is another market where SCARA robots help to meet these needs in another applications, such as electrical and electronics, automotive, and food and beverages.

The market for SCARA robots is made up of a wide variety of manufacturers and suppliers that are leaders in the robotic industry. This year, new technologies and developments have provided us with several robotic models for SCARA automation, including:

Epson is the number 1 manufacturer of SCARA robots in the world. It presents its latest innovation with high-end SCARA robots from the Synthis T series for quick and easy integration, minimum installation time, space-saving, high power, built-in controller and the intuitive Epson RC software. These compact robots have a payload capacity of 3 to 6 kg, and an arm range of up to 600 mm that is ideal for a wide variety of applications.

The i4 SCARA by Omron is a select, high-precision and high-speed robot that saves space, is very easy to configure, with Ether CAT for easy communication with other devices that integrate the robot, providing reliability and optimal performance, with a payload capacity of 15 kg and an arm reach of 650 to 850 mm. It comes in models with IP65 protection, Clean Room ISO 4 (Class 10) and ESD protection.

Delta SCARA is a robot characterized by generating greater control when it comes to the quality of high-precision production. This robot is flexible, high speed and has good repeatability, which makes it ideal for inserting, assembling, loading and unloading, pick-and-place, stacking and packaging processes that require a minimum error margin and high-quality deliveries. Delta SCARA improves competitiveness and responsiveness.

Fanuc SCARA Sr-3ia has a lightweight design, easy integration with a range of 400 mm that can handle large work pieces with its high inertia capacity, and 4 axes that offer fast speeds and great precision in the production line. It features a new user interface configuration and iprogrammer simple programming, fieldbus connectivity and integrated security, which are ideal for your assembly applications, parts handling and pick-and-place. It is equipped with the space-saving FANUC R-30iB Compact Plus controller with great flexibility and high performance.
