Introduces the medium size SCARA robots.
Medium type SCARA robots YK-XG
Completely beltless structure with the tip rotation axis directly connected to the speed reduction gear.
This ensures high-accuracy, high-speed, excellent maintenance ability, and amazing tolerable moment of inertia.
Feature
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. This direct drive structure drastically reduces wasted motion. It also maintains high accuracy over a long period of time. It ensure maintenance-free usage for extended periods with no worries about belt breakage, stretching or deterioration with age (feature applies to all XG series models and the YK180X/YK220X).
High speed
The standard cycle time is fast of course but the YAMAHA design also stresses tact time in the actual usage region. A drastic improvement in maximum speed was made by changing the gear ratio and maximum motor rpm. This also resulted in a better tact time during long distance movement.
Improved maintenance features
The covers on the YAMAHA SCARA robot YK-XG series can be removed from the front or upwards. The cover is separate from the cable so maintenance tasks are easy.
On ordinary robots replacing the grease on the harmonic gear takes a great deal of time and trouble because the gear must be disassembled and position deviations might occur. On YAMAHA SCARA robots however the harmonic gear is the grease-sealed type so no grease replacement is needed (YK-500XG to YK1000XG).
SCARA robot performance is not limited to just standard cycle time
