Selectively Compliant Arm for Robotic Assembly (SCARA)

A selective compliance articulated robot arm is a type of industrial robot designed for fast, precise horizontal movements and light assembly tasks. Its structure allows flexibility in the horizontal plane while remaining rigid vertically, which makes it ideal for operations like insertion, pick-and-place, and small-part assembly. SCARA robots are commonly used in electronics, automotive, and consumer goods manufacturing. They offer high speed, accuracy, and repeatability in compact workspaces. Because of their efficiency and relatively simple design, SCARA robots are widely adopted in automated production lines.
