…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…
