SCARA ROBOT

SCARA is an acronym for Selective Compliance Articulated Robot Arm, meaning it is compliant in the X-Y axis, and rigid in the Z-axis. It has 4 degree of freedom
The SCARA configuration is unique and designed to handle a variety of material handling operations.
SCARA Robots are a popular option for small robotic assembly applications.
The SCARA robot is most commonly used for pick-and-place or assembly operations where high speed and high accuracy is required.
It has only one forward kinematic solution and two inverse kinematic solution.
