Yamaha Extends SCARA YK-XG and YK-TW Robot Family
YK-XG and YK-TW orbital SCARA series contain advanced features for efficient movement and long-term accuracy.
By placing the tip-rotation axis directly in line with the speed-reducing gear, leveraging a specially designed hollow motor, the YK-XG beltless drive permits fast R-axis rotation with large offset loads that require traditional belt-driven robots to decelerate. The latest models feature 45% faster x-y axis speed than previous generations, now reaching 7.6m/s, 35% greater angular speed up to 2.3m/s, and 93% higher R-axis speed at 1700°/s. Come in arm lengths of 120mm to 1200mm, and maximum payload from 1kg to 50kg, to accelerate a variety of pick-and-place, packaging/de-packaging, and mechanical assembly tasks. Magnetic position resolvers, instead of optical encoders traditionally used in other industrial SCARA ranges, permit higher noise immunity and boost reliability by eliminating effects of contamination such as dust or grease.
