SCARA

SCARA 1:

The SCARA (Selective Compliance Assembly Robot Arm) kinematics is built up as shown in the schema above.

The motor axes 1, 2 and 4 are scaled in degree with positive direction in direction of the arrow. The third motor axis is scaled in mm.

The origin of the MCS is set at the first joint (M1). The x-axis is defined by the SCARA arm when all rotary motor axes are 0°.
