SCARA
Offering the next level in speed and precision, FANUC SCARA robots are ideally suited to robotic assembly, robotic pick and place, inspection and robotic packaging applications. Depending on your needs, FANUC SCARA robots are available with either 3kg or 6kg, 12kg and 20kg payload capacities, and include two new environmental options. All models operate in a 360° envelope and, by virtue of their pedestal-mount design, occupy a small space-saving footprint. Integrated services prevent the risk of snagging.
Given their speed and repeatability, FANUC SCARA robots provide a great way of increasing productivity on pick-and-place or assembly operations. Find out here when a SCARA robot enhances the efficiency of your application. The SCARA’s structure consists of two arms joined at the base and the intersection of arms one and two. Two independent motors use inverse kinematics and interpolation at joints J1 and J2 to control the SCARA’s X-Y motion. The final X-Y location at the end of arm two is a factor of the J1 angle, J2 angle, length of arm one and length of arm two.
