of how a 5-axis SCARA robot can be built in-house with off-the-shelf products. ### Overview This is an in-house SCARA robot (AKA horizontal articulated robot) that automates work pick-and-place and transport between processes.  It is used in automated production lines for gluing, measuring, and assembly, which were conventionally done manually.  We built a SCARA robot in-house because we needed to a pick-and-place to transport small parts between processes in a limited space.  Traditional robots typically are large and cannot be customized to fit in tight spaces.     ![5-axis SCARA robot with gripper](https://blog.orientalmotor.com/hs-fs/hubfs/5-axis%20SCARA%20robot%20with%20gripper.jpg?width=489&height=306&name=5-axis%20SCARA%20robot%20with%20gripper.jpg) | Number of axes | 5 axes (3

power supply | 24 VDC | | | Mass (SCARA robot part) | 4 kg | |   #### System Configuration The SCARA robot is controlled by Ethernet/IP from a host controller, such as a programmable logic controller (PLC).  The MRC01 robot controller communicates to all AZ Series drivers via RS-485 communication (Modbus RTU).   ![SCARA robot

[![MRC01 robot controller and MRC Studio software](https://hubspot-no-cache-na2-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/cta/default/2284573/347ed94b-a272-4eba-85e3-dfff7282fc84.png)](https://hubspot-cta-redirect-na2-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/cta/redirect/2284573/347ed94b-a272-4eba-85e3-dfff7282fc84)   No ladder logic knowledge required.   ![mrc-set-up-step-2](https://blog.orientalmotor.com/hs-fs/hubfs/mrc-set-up-step-2.jpg?width=972&height=563&name=mrc-set-up-step-2.jpg)   - **Easy introduction of in-house robots into existing systems** Linkage between MRC01 and host system is directly controlled by EtherNet/IP. In-house robots can be easily added without making major changes to the control system of existing equipment. - **Easy setting even for the first time** The MRC01 can be easily set from initial settings to operation programs without specialized knowledge of programming languages. Initial settings such as selection of robot type and input of mechanism information are easy with a wizard. Targeted commands can be added to the operation program while moving the in-house robot with teaching operations. When one of our young equipment designers actually used it for the first time, he was able to create a program by teaching in about two hours because it was possible to set multiple axes with a single command. - **Operation can be checked with online 3D simulation** It is possible to check the operation program of the in-house robot on the 3D simulator without driving the motor. A connection with a host PLC is not required for simulation.  You can prevent problems such as "moving in the opposite direction" and "moving too much to damage the robot". - **Control of the end effector axis is also possible** It supports vertical articulated robots, SCARA robots, and orthogonal robots, which are typical structures of industrial robots.  The end effector axis can also be controlled by the MRC01, contributing to space-saving, wiring-saving, and cost reduction for the entire system. - **Compatible with a wide range of lineups** Compatible with AZ series and electric actuators equipped with them. With a rich product lineup, we contribute to robot design with a high degree of freedom according to the robot type you want to manufacture in-house.   ![](https://blog.orientalmotor.com/hubfs/image-png-Apr-26-2023-11-29-13-0335-PM.png)   [![Learn more about MRC01 and MRC Studio](https://hubspot-no-cache-na2-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/cta/default/2284573/76574a7f-a963-4255-bcf5-1cb7ab5d3fc2.png)](https://hubspot-cta-redirect-na2-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/cta/redirect/2284573/76574a7f-a963-4255-bcf5-1cb7ab5d3fc2) |   All of the motors, actuators, and drivers controlled by the MRC01 robot controller on the SCARA robot are from the αSTEP AZ Series family.   #### Products Used for Each Axis ##### Achieving sensor reduction and battery-less with a mechanical multi-rotation absolute sensor All motors, actuators, and drivers used on the SCARA robot are from the same αSTEP AZ Series product family, so precision is guaranteed.  With the same battery-free absolute encoder technology, external sensors on all axes can be eliminated, contributing to reduced wiring and a compact configuration. Absolute position information is retained even if the power supply is shut off due to an emergency stop or power failure during positioning operation. There is no need to worry about battery costs, operational troubles, or maintenance. In addition, the status of each axis can be monitored by the drivers.   ![Mechanical Absolute Encoder](https://www.orientalmotor.com/images/stepper-motors/stepper-motors-az-absolute-sensor.jpg) ● DGⅡ Series Hollow Rotary Actuator (Axis 1, Axis 2) ##### Suitable for joint shaft Hollow rotary actuator and small geared type When the SCARA robot grabs a workpiece at the tip of the arm away from axis 1, a large load moment is generated. The DGII series uses cross-roller bearings for the hollow output table bearings to achieve a high allowable moment. This contributes to expanding the range of motion of the arm.  In addition, hollow holes (through holes) can be used for wiring complicated cables, simplifying robot design.   ![Rotary Actuator Features](https://www.orientalmotor.com/images/rotary-actuators/rotary-actuators-dgii-az-construction.jpg) | ![mecha-cg07_03_03](https://blog.orientalmotor.com/hs-fs/hubfs/mecha-cg07_03_03.png?width=300&height=206&name=mecha-cg07_03_03.png) | ![mecha-cg07_03_04](https://blog.orientalmotor.com/hs-fs/hubfs/mecha-cg07_03_04.png?width=300&height=206&name=mecha-cg07_03_04.png) | | --- | --- |   ● αSTEP AZ Series Harmonic Geared Type (Axis 3) ##### Geared stepper motor with no backlash Even a small deviation can become large at the tip of the arm, and it may not be possible to grip the workpiece accurately. The harmonic geared type has no backlash, so it suppresses misalignment and achieves accurate operation. ![mecha-cg07_03_06](https://blog.orientalmotor.com/hs-fs/hubfs/mecha-cg07_03_06.png?width=300&height=206&name=mecha-cg07_03_06.png)   ● DR Series Compact Cylinder (Axis 4) ##### Compact and lightweight actuator that reduces the load on the tip of the robot mechanism The compact body that integrates the αSTEP AZ series and a ball screw contributes to the miniaturization and space-saving of equipment. By reducing the weight of the tip of the device, you can expect to improve the degree of freedom in design.   ![mecha-cg07_03_08](https://blog.orientalmotor.com/hs-fs/hubfs/mecha-cg07_03_08.png?width=300&height=206&name=mecha-cg07_03_08.png)     ● EH Series Compact Gripper (Axis 5) ##### Grip small parts delicately As the end effector becomes smaller and lighter, the burden on each joint can be reduced, contributing to the size reduction and cost reduction of the entire robot.  The position, gripping time, and gripping force can be freely set with the electric gripper. Various grips can be achieved.   ![mecha-cg07_03_10](https://blog.orientalmotor.com/hs-fs/hubfs/mecha-cg07_03_10.png?width=300&height=206&name=mecha-cg07_03_10.png)   We support robot design from the product selection stage #### Motor sizing and selection Our dedicated staff will size and select the motor for you.
