SCARA Robots are a type of industrial robot designed for high-speed assembly and material handling tasks. The name SCARA stands for Selective Compliance Assembly Robot Arm, which highlights their ability to move in a horizontal plane while maintaining rigidity in the vertical direction. This design allows them to perform precise movements, making them ideal for tasks like pick-and-place operations.
These robots typically feature four joints, providing a wide range of motion and flexibility. SCARA Robots are commonly used in manufacturing environments, particularly in the electronics and automotive industries, where they enhance productivity and efficiency by automating repetitive tasks.
