	Yamaha Clean Room SCARA Robots YK-XC series SCARA stands for Selective Compliance Assembly Robot Arm.
As may be known from the name, the robot has compliance only in specific directions (X and Y directions) and has high rigidity in other direction (Z direction), and thus, has been designed mainly for automation of assembling works. At present, it is used in various production sites as a robot that is very effective not only in assembling works but also in component carrying works (pick & place works) because of its outstanding speed. Although SCARA robot is examined by comparing with cartesian coordinate robot in many cases owing to its operating range, it can be said that SCARA robot is suitable for works requiring speeds on three axes or four axes motions because of its excellent cost-performance ratio. The features of this robot include its small installation area that provides higher degree of freedom in design of a system, and in addition, provides an advantage that, in case the system is disused in the future, the robot can be installed easily on another system.   Yamaha has set the industry's top class specifications in various aspects while utilizing the features of the SCARA robot to the fullest. All features allow for the fullest degree of freedom in system design, including compact size, tight standard repeatability for the XYZ axes as well as the R axis, which surpasses other brands, and the great reduction in the cycle time, which is the basis for the robot performance. All these features stand alone in the industry. Yamaha is also proud of the cost performance, which is a major point when considering incorporation of a robot.   The YK-X models features are space-saving compact design, provide both durability and serviceability, achieve high accuracy with R axis coupling mechanism, greatly reduced cycle time, standard incorporation of absolute feedback, pursuit of cost performance, completely pursuing eas-of-use, and 9 models with 64 variations for clean room compatibility.   Features The YK-XC series offer cost effective solutions to clean room applications requiring CLASS 10 cleanliness. These SCARA robots are designed specifically for use in clean room applications. Eight high-speed, high-precision models are available, with arm lengths ranging from 250mm to 1,000mm. A repeated positioning accuracy of ±0.01 mm is achieved, and because of their high space factor, these robots make a significant contribution to efficiency in clean room operations.   Clean robot with cleanliness class 10 Secures clean environment over time with fully integrated wire harness. Best suited to assembling electronic components, food processing and works relevant to medical service. Covers all types of standard model. Cleanliness class 10 with 0.1µm base. User piping and wiring connectors are standard. Equipped with a bellows that has cleared durability test of 20 million strokes on the tip axis for higher degree of cleanliness.
