Yamaha Motor Europe FA Section has released an improved Scara robot, YK400 XE, that has an arm length of 400 mm.
The YK400XE is a successor model of the conventional one that features high accuracy and high performance even at a less expensive price. The maximum payload is 4 kg that is 1.4 times larger than the conventional model. The standard cycle time is also now reduced to approx. 10 %, to achieve 0.41 sec. by strengthening the drive system and arm, increasing the rigidity, and improving the performance of the controller “RCX340”. As a result, the production capacity is much improved.
Even when the maximum payload is increased and the operating performance is improved, the high cost performance is achieved. In addition, as the installation position is fully compatible with the conventional model, the replacement work can be performed easily.
