…safety reasons, share many design features with articulated robots. SCARA robots In the robotics industry, the concept of compliance refers to a robot’s ability to move its joints. If someone pushes a compliant robot, it can move in any direction that it’s capable of. Selective compliance assembly robot arms, known as SCARA, can move freely on the X and Y axes. However they don’t provide the same sort of free movement on the Z axis. They’re valuable for moving items from one point to another, or for single-plane assembly applications. SCARA robots share many of the same issues as articulated…

…the 3D orientation of objects on a noisy background. SCARA robots inspected, packed, and assembled cheeseburgers FANUC recently expanded its line of four-axis SCARA robots to include the SR-3iA/U ceiling mount, featuring a full 360-degree work envelope with no dead zones. In addition, FANUC’s SCARA lineup also includes the SR-3iA/C and SR-6iA/C cleanroom variants. The SR-3iA/U used iRVision 3DV and iRPickTool to pick various parts from a moving circular conveyor, move them to a 2D camera for inspection, then place them onto an outfeed conveyor into the appropriate pass/fail locations. A FANUC SR-12iA robot with the environmental option packed and…

…play in these applications include the six-axis robot arm, SCARA, and delta robots. It’s important to understand how each robot type fits into the automation systems of these industrial sectors. For example, a six-axis robot offers excellent overall range of motion and capability. Many moves required in automation are not in a straight line, so a six-axis robot provides a great deal of capability. Furthermore, the size ranges of six-axis robots are expansive, which allows users to leverage this type of robot for a variety of processes. A six-axis robot is a good fit for dispensing glue, potting, and liquid…
