Fast movement, assembly & dosing
SCARA robots are often used for the removal and movement of workpieces, for screwing in screws and for the precise dispensing of liquids, adhesives and sealants.
IAI offers models for all applications, from the entry-level IXP model with stepper motor to the IXA high-performance SCARA robot with servo motor. In addition to the standard types, this also includes high-speed and heavy-duty types as well as SCARA robots in cleanroom design and with protection class IP65.

IXA High Performance SCARA Robot
With the IXA SCARA robot series, IAI offers one of the industry's fastest SCARA robots. The available arm lengths range from 180 mm to 1,200 mm.
IXA SCARA robots feature high bending stiffness, high performance and control optimisation features, resulting in minimal post-vibration during position stops. With the free IXA simulation software, the SCARA movements can be checked without real robot use and the cycle time can be measured quickly and easily.
Standard cycle time
High-speed type (IXA-NSN): 0.26s
Standard type (IXA-NNN): 0.38s
Continuous cycle time
High-speed type (IXA-NSN): 0.45s
Standard type (IXA-NNN): 0.55s
The measurements were taken under the following conditions and operation setting: 2 kg payload, 300 mm horizontal movement, 25 mm vertical movement.
IAI offers SCARA robots in cleanroom-compliant design according to ISO standard 14644-1:2015.
These robots generate minimal dust, making them ideal for use in a cleanroom environment. The air inside the robot can be extracted to create a negative pressure if conditions according to ISO cleanroom class 3 are to be or must be fulfilled.
For special production environments with suspended dust, humidity or splash water, IP-protected SCARA robots with 24 V stepper motor or 230 V servo motor are the best choice.
They can be used without further construction measures. There is no risk of leakage here. One reason for the uncomplicated installation is their flexibility and small space requirement, which reduces the cost and time required for commissioning.
IAI offers a cost-effective entry into automated manufacturing with the IXP SCARA robot, which is also available in a cleanroom version and with IP65. By using stepper motors, the IXP series costs significantly less than conventional models.
The permissible load is comparable thanks to the high-power drivers. With low dead weights of the robot arms between 7 kg and 23 kg, the robots can move payloads between 1 kg and 6 kg. All models are equipped with battery-free absolute encoders.
Up to 255 programmes and 30,000 positions can be stored in the controller of the IXP SCARA robots. The control can take place via discrete inputs and outputs as well as via one of the common field bus systems.
