Important notes on selection

(1) Please refer to page 7-394 for (Note 1) to (Note 8).
(2) The maximum setting value for acceleration/deceleration is determined by the mass of the transported object, the distance traveled, and the location. An overload error may occur if continuous operation was performed with the maximum set value. When performing continuous operation, lower the acceleration/deceleration or set a stop time after acceleration/deceleration based on the duty ratio (reference).
(3) SCARA robots cannot operate continuously at 100% speed and acceleration.
 Refer to the "Guidelines for acceleration / deceleration settings" page for the operating conditions.
(4) Please refer to page 7-61 for details on cleanliness standards.

Cycle time

HeadingTime
Standard Cycle Time0.28 sec
Continuous cycle time0.51 sec

The standard / continuous cycle time indicates the time required when operating with the fastest round-trip operation setting under the following conditions.

Payload of 2kg, vertical movement 25mm, horizontal movement 300mm (coarse positioning arch motion)

[Standard cycle time]

The time required for the fastest operation. Generally, this is a guide for high-speed performance.

Please note that continuous operation at the fastest operation is not possible.

[Continuous cycle time]

The cycle time for continuous operation.

Tip shaft allowable moment of inertia

Number of axesTip shaft allowable moment of inertia
4-axis type0.12 kg・m2

This is the allowable moment of inertia calculated from the tip axis (rotation axis) of the SCARA robot. The offset from the center of the tip axis to the center of gravity of the tool should be within the following values. If the center of gravity of the tool moves away from the center of the tip axis, it is necessary to reduce the speed and acceleration appropriately. The overhang length is limited based on the load and operating conditions.

Guideline for acceleration / deceleration setting

SCARA Robot IXA cannot operate continuously at the maximum acceleration / deceleration and maximum speed noted in the catalog. If you plan to operate at maximum acceleration/deceleration, please set a stop time by referring to the continuous operation duty ratio graph. If continuous operation is required, operate with the acceleration / deceleration setting within the continuous operation guideline range described in guideline graph for acceleration / deceleration setting.

(1) In case of PTP operation, be sure to use the WGHT instruction on the program to set the mass and moment of inertia before operating. The maximum acceleration/deceleration that SCARA can operate with each payload is 100%. Please note that the operating time will be different if the transport mass is different even if the acceleration / deceleration and speed settings are the same.

(2) Adjust the acceleration / deceleration by gradually increasing the set value from the continuous operation guideline value.

(3) If an overload error occurs, reduce the acceleration/deceleration as appropriate, or set a stop time using the continuous operation duty ratio as a reference.

(4) Duty ratio (%) = (operating time / (operating time + stop time)) × 100

(5) If you want the robot to move horizontally at high speed, move the vertical axis as close to the rising end as possible.

(6) Keep the moment of inertia and the loaded mass below the allowable values.

(7) The payload indicates the moment of inertia and mass around the rotation axis.

(8) Operate the robot with an appropriate acceleration / deceleration based on the mass and moment of inertia. Failure to comply will result in early life, damage and/or vibration of the drive unit.

(9) If the moment of inertia of the load is large, vibration may occur at the vertical axis depending on its position. If vibration occurs, slow down the acceleration / deceleration as appropriate.
