Flat SCARA Robot

Compared to general SCARA robots, the flat design allows the robot to handle narrow spaces, such as for attaching and detaching parts to and from equipment.

Here are introducing load transfer operations when combined with the electric lifting columns EL Series.

  • The vertical operating range can be easily expanded by lifts and lowers the robot body.
  • The height of the robot tip can be reduced, allowing the robot to approach narrow spaces.
  • No need to design an external guide or arrange parts, reducing the equipment startup time.

Lineup of Products That Can be Selected According to the Application

In addition to conventional SCARA robots, SCARA robots capable of omnidirectional movement are available.
Improved specifications, such as large transportable mass and long stroke, have expanded the range of applications.

Customizable Design to Fit Your Equipment

Application Example

This robot’s design can be freely customized according to the application.

  • Flat and compact structure
  • The third arm can be freely designed
  • Combining with electric lifting columns and actuators expands the movable range not only horizontally but also vertically

Example 1: Lifting the Robot Body

The height of the robot tip can be reduced, allowing the robot to approach narrow spaces. No horizontal barriers allow for omni-directional operation.

Installation Type: Floor-mounted, ceiling-mounted
Vertical Stroke: Short to medium (50~300 mm)

Example 2: Robot Body Vertical Operation

The height of the robot tip can be reduced, allowing the robot to approach narrow spaces. Compatible with a wide range of vertical operations.

Installation Type: Wall-mounted *For the omnidirectional type, some parts cannot be moved
Vertical Stroke: Short to long

Ease of Installation Easy installation ・The robot needs to be inverted
・Requires a sturdy mounting base
Working Space Pallets and other components need to be placed with consideration to the robot installation space Usable space directly under the robot

Here are introducing load transfer operations when the robot is mounted on the ceiling. The work space underneath the robot can be used effectively by mounting it on the ceiling.

User Maintenance is Possible
