…them must minimize contamination. igus yesterday launched the Clean SCARA Cable Solution, which it said is made of high-performance plastics and works almost particle-free, according to ISO Class 2, even in high-speed applications. Microscopic debris can ruin electronic components, semiconductors, and displays, noted igus. Machines moving at high speeds, such as SCARA robots that move along four axes in less than a second, can release particles from corrugated hoses and tubes. “Finding a way to guide cables and hoses on a SCARA robot in a cleanroom is a science in itself,” said Matthias Meyer, head of the triflex and Robotics…

…of a tier-one automotive supplier. Solution : Epson T-Series SCARA All-in-One robots provided an easy-to-integrate and space-saving automation solution that helped the customer reduce cycle time and cost. All with an ROI of less than one year. One station would perform the pneumatic pressing of all four compression limiters. Two stations would ultrasonically weld the 3M Thinsulate. And, the final station would automatically unload components, while separating them to “good part” and “bad part” chutes. The discussion regarding possible solutions ultimately came down to one factor – robots had to be part of the equation. Based on a demo presented…

…and yaw, which allows for more directional control than SCARA robots (discussed below). Robotic arms are used for arc welding, material handling, assembly, packaging, machine tending and palletizing. They have a predesigned reach and accuracy ratings that make it easier to establish their repeatability of movement (Richard Vaughn). However, unlike Cartesian and gantry robots, you’re locked into those design features once you buy it. Robotic arms could also cost more because of expensive features like proprietary controllers. 4. SCARA SCARA stands for selective compliance assembly robot arm or selective compliance articulated robot arm. It has three axes (X, Y and…
