Mitsubishi Electric Automation: Robots Do Dexterous, Complex Operations Typically Performed by Humans

One such feature of these Selective Compliant Assembly Robot Arm (SCARA) robots is the force sensor that, in combination with coordinated motion and automatic collision avoidance, allows the creation of densely packed robot cells that can perform highly dexterous operations. These tasks are typically performed by an operator in a cellular manufacturing work cell. Other features include: internal routing of cables and hoses, automatic collision avoidance, coordinated motion and force torque sensor. The new series includes SCARA robots with 3, 6, 12 and 20 kg payload capacities and articulated robots offering 2, 4 and 7 kg payload capacities. Depending upon the model selected, improvements over previous models include increased operating speed, increased Z-axis speed, stronger wrist axis, and wider operating range. Offered in both vertical and horizontal configurations, the robots are particularly suited for material handling, machine tending, assembly, picking, packing, kitting, dispensing, inspection, and other complex applications.
