  • High speed operation.

Open / close device

Wide open/close of shutter.

  • It is possible to drive a work with a large width ( shutter ) using the dual drive method.
  • Various advantages ( such as center layout, higher open / close speed, sharing of effective stroke ) are available due to adoption of the double carrier mechanism.
  • Driving with the dual drive mechanism is available by placing 2 units of double carrier phasers in parallel and fixing them with sliders respectively.
  • RCX143 can control 4 axes in all.

Precision part assembler (1)

Finished product function test. Developed software evaluation. Push-button type quality check.

  • Full line-up from YK120X to YK1200X is unrivaled by other manufacturers and can cope with various systems.
  • Space saving.
  • Using SCARA, judgment is made through image processing by pushing each button.

Mask for wafer being conveyed

Wafer mask replaced from the stocker.

  • Clean specification plus inverse structure prevents the driving part from coming over the workpiece.
  • If the cylindrical coordinate type robot is used, a running axis is necessary for this application. However, if SCARA with the interpolation function is used, the fixed type is usable.
