In the beginning was Epson
In a study, Professor Hiroshi Makino from Yamanashi
University in Tokyo found that the majority of joining
processes in production are vertical processes executed
from above — that was when the SCARA was born!
The Seiko Epson company immediately took on that
method and developed a robot type for in-house
production. That was even before that kinematics was
brought on the market as the fi rst freely available SCARA
in 1982.
The SCARA principle: simply reliable
The design of SCARA robots is similar to a human arm,
since they have an articulated arm which can only swing
horizontally. Usually, they have four freely programmable
axes allowing handling in plane-parallel surfaces. The
shaft serves to install tools and can rotate independently
from its vertical motion to freely orientate the product
within the work envelope. Thanks to their design,
SCARAs feature high vertical rigidity.
SCARA (Selective Compliance Assembly Robot Arm) robots, also referred to as
“horizontal articulated arm robots”, are a success story of automation. With four
degrees of freedom, they can freely position and join a payload with every possible
horizontal orientation. They are relatively easy to set up and work particularly
precisely and reliably.
