Yamaha launches SCARA robot for clean rooms
Yamaha Robotics is adding the new clean type YK-XEC series to its YK-XE series of high-performance SCARA robots for clean rooms. This model is designed for automated work in clean rooms and will be released on a rolling basis starting 1 February 2024.
While demonstrating the strengths of the YK-XE series in terms of cost-efficiency, the YK-XEC series is a new clean SCARA robot that meets ISO Class 4 (ISO 14644-1) cleanliness standards, which are in high demand in the current market.
The main specifications such as the arm length and Z-axis stroke, as well as maximum payload are identical to the YK-XE series. By achieving a high operational performance of 0.42sec (YK510XEC) for a standard cycle time, this new model will further contribute to improving productivity as well as realising labour savings in manufacturing plants for semiconductors and hard disk drives, which has seen growing demand recently, as well as in the food and medical equipment-related plants.
Yamaha Robotics has a 40-plus year history in SCARA robots, since the first was installed in one of our factories in 1976. Since then, the Company has expanded its product line-up, which now features industry-leading product variations. The great diversity of alternatives that Yamaha Robotics provides means that customers can choose the models which best suit their particular requirements, further optimising their production facilities while also working to reduce their capital expenditure.
