SCARA (Selective Compliance Articulated Robotic Arm)
motion system allows numerous advantages over traditional Cartesian or Gantry schemes.
It allows packing the system in smaller footprint and reducing transition path
between the labware installed on the work board.
All moving, electronic and corrosive parts of the system are enclosed under
protective covers. Exposed parts are made of inert plastics.
B00scara™ allows very low particle, dust and heat emission.
The system does not have its own cabinet and ideal for installation in the cleanroom environment or inside a protective cabinet or
laminar hood.
B00scara™ runs on built-in computer. It can be installed in the "headless" configuration
( no monitor, keyboard connected ) which will reduce number of
cables running to the arrayer. It can be controlled via WiFi network.
