Overview

Wall/inverted-mounted SCARA robot, reach 300-1000mm for space-constrained assembly.

Flagship features

  • **High-rigidity and high-accuracy**: Internal structure achieving the high-rigidity and high-accuracy
  • **Completely beltless structure**: A totally beltless structure was achieved by using a ZR axis direct coupling structure
  • **High speed**: The standard cycle time is fast of course but the YAMAHA design also stresses tact time in the actual usage region
  • **Improved maintenance features**: Covers on the YAMAHA SCARA robot YK-XG series can be removed from the front or upwards
  • **Robot R axis inertia moment capacity**: SCARA robot performance is not limited to just standard cycle time
  • **Compact**: Changing the cable layout made the overall cable height lower than the unit cover
