Boston, MA -- (SBWIRE) -- 07/28/2014 -- A SCARA robot is a horizontally configured robot capable of performing horizontal movements. Since these robots do not have rotary joints, their movements are restricted to the horizontal axis. These robots can perform flexible horizontal motions while they are fixed vertically. SCARA robots are being adopted across industries for various applications such as in clean rooms for wafer and disk handling purposes (particularly in the Electrical and Electronics industry) and in the assembly process in the Automotive and Electrical and Electronics industries. These robots are ideally suited for horizontal operations with limited scope for vertical movements. As a result of their versatile configuration, SCARA robots have several advantages over Cartesian, cylindrical, and spherical robots.
