Selective Compliance Articulated Robot Arms, or SCARA robots, continue to enable manufacturers to boost their productivity at low operational costs. Such technologies are the firm foundation for the next industrial revolution. Although the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted the manufacturing industry in an unprecedented way, it has also increased the demand for automation to help maintain productivity while workers are scarce or comply with social-distancing protocols. The latest SCARA machines have become more affordable, faster, easier to handle, and more efficient. According to Allied Market Research, the global SCARA robot market is expected to reach $14.78 billion by 2026, expanding at a…

…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…

…a wide range of ABB robots, including articulated arm, SCARA, delta, and palletizer robots in various sizes and with various payloads. This is particularly important for machine applications where a high degree of synchronization with other components is required, for example with picking solutions. With ABB robots integrated into the machine automation system, customers will benefit from an unprecedented level of synchronization between robotics and machine control. Since the robot will no longer require a dedicated controller, all interfaces between the machine and the robot are eliminated, while the fact that all axes and sensors will now communicate on a…
