1.2 Robot Overview
The robots detailed in this manual are four-joint Selective Compliance Assembly Robot Arm
(SCARA) industrial robots. These next-generation robots are designed for a variety of auto-
mated applications where high speed and precision is required.
Built-in EtherCAT communications allow this robot to operate together with EtherCAT slaves,
other Sysmac products, and the Sysmac Studio Automation Software to achieve optimum func-
tionality and ease of operation.
