The SCARA robot is raised and lowered using Linispeed Jack, realizing an extension of the lifting stroke.
Linispeed Jack
overview
Linispeed Jack was adopted to complement the Z-axis movement of the SCARA robot. The lifting stroke, which was insufficient with the robot alone, is sufficiently secured by a low-profile structure that does not compromise the overall layout constraints of the system. Furthermore, by coordinating control with the robot using servo motor drive, high-speed and smooth vertical movement is achieved, contributing to a reduction in the overall cycle time of the transport operation.
Problem
While some SCARA robots are equipped with a Z-axis movement mechanism, there are limitations to their lifting range, and in some processes, it may not be possible to secure the necessary stroke. Even when adding an external mechanism, conventional screw jacks presented challenges in terms of high speed, synchronization with the robot, and securing installation space.
Adopted products
Linispeed Jack
This is Ball screw lifting unit that can make the most of the performance of the servo motor.
Linispeed Jack achieves a maximum operating speed of 200 mm/s and a maximum Percentage duty cycle of 100% ED, enabling improved productivity of the equipment.
Even when operating at higher speeds, the jack is smaller than conventional jacks, and the newly developed structure allows for a low profile, contributing to more compact equipment.
Benefits of adopting the product
By adopting Linispeed Jack, we were able to secure a stroke exceeding the robot's Z-axis travel range, improving process adaptability. Furthermore, its low-profile structure allowed for integration without increasing the overall size of the equipment, achieving both increased layout flexibility and improved productivity.
