Ultra-Slim SCARA Robot | 3-Axis

Key Advantages

The extremely slim body, at just 137 mm tall, offers incredible mounting flexibility—whether standard-mounted, ceiling-mounted, or tucked into tight machine gaps. The modular 3rd axis allows for custom end-effector designs to fit specific equipment perfectly. Plus, the built-in battery-less absolute encoder is a major highlight: after a power cycle, it doesn't waste time finding its zero point and can get right back to work. With a 3 to 10 kg payload and up to 700 mm reach, it easily handles material transfer needs in tight spaces.

Working Principle

Inside confined machine areas, the horizontal articulated structure allows the arm to quickly perform precise planar positioning. When vertical movement is needed, an external electric lift unit expands the Z-axis range by raising the main body directly. This design drastically lowers the front-end profile, enabling the robot to easily navigate around obstacles into narrow spaces. Because it uses a battery-less absolute encoder, the equipment doesn't need to perform a tedious homing routine after a restart—it immediately reads its current coordinates and resumes production.

Application Fields

1.Precision connectors: insertion and extraction of micro components in tight spaces.
2.Lithium battery assembly: gripping and transferring battery cells in narrow workstations.
3.Optical modules: precision assembly of micro lenses and automotive cameras.
4.Small machine tools: embedded within equipment for quick loading/unloading of compact workpieces.

FAQ

Q1: Why can this SCARA robot reach spaces where standard robots can't?

A: The key lies in its ultra-slim design (only 137 mm tall, 7.6 kg). With the external lift unit, the Z-axis motion is achieved by raising the main body, drastically lowering the front-end profile so it can easily reach deep into low-clearance machine interiors.

Q2: In tight machine spaces, won't the robot's cables interfere or get damaged?

A: No. The cable routing is specifically optimized, with wires compactly housed inside the main body or dedicated routing channels. This prevents interference with other mechanisms in narrow spaces, significantly extends cable lifespan, and reduces downtime for maintenance.

Q3: The robot is so small, can it maintain positioning accuracy during high-speed operation?

A: Absolutely. Despite its lightweight body, the base and joints are designed with high-rigidity structures. Combined with absolute servo motors, it maintains exceptional repeat positioning accuracy even at top speeds, with no end-effector shaking or trajectory deviation.
