Cleanroom-compatible SCARA robot
Yamaha Robotics, Factory Automation Section, is expanding the 'YK-XE' SCARA robot series to include the cleanroom-compatible 'YK-XEC' model. This version is suitable for automated work in cleanrooms and will be gradually introduced from February 1, 2024.
Yamaha 's YK-XEC series of cleanroom SCARA robots meet ISO Class 4 (ISO 14644-1) cleanliness standards. The main specifications such as arm length and Z-axis stroke length as well as the maximum payload are identical to those of the YK-XE series and offer, for example, a working performance of 0.42 s for a standard cycle time with the YK510XEC. The robot is suitable, for example, for production lines for semiconductors and hard disk drives as well as in food and medical device plants.
