High-Precision Automation with HIWIN SCARA Robots & DATORKER® Strain Wave Gears

In the ever-evolving landscape of industrial automation, HIWIN’s SCARA robots stand out for their precision and flexibility. These robots are widely utilized across various automation fields, offering seamless integration with peripheral control units, linear modules, vision systems, and end effectors. This versatility allows SCARA robots to perform standalone operations or function within system workstations, adapting effortlessly to changes in production lines to enhance quality and efficiency. They excel in tasks such as material handling, arranging, packaging, assembly, dispensing, component insertion, and inspection, delivering high-speed performance with a repeatability of ±0.01 mm and a cycle time of just 0.46 seconds. The compact design of the controller, reduced by 55%, along with optional protection versions and CE certification compliance, make these robots ideal for various industrial applications.

A key component that significantly enhances the performance of HIWIN SCARA robots is the DATORKER® Strain Wave Gear. This innovative gear system boasts exceptional features, including high precision, high efficiency, high torsional rigidity, and low starting torque. Unlike traditional rigid gears, the strain wave gear utilizes the elastic deformation of gears to eliminate backlash between components, ensuring precise rotational motion. This unique mechanism offers superior positioning accuracy and torque output, making it indispensable for applications requiring high precision and efficiency.

The DATORKER® Strain Wave Gear is particularly beneficial in machineries for reducing speed and transmitting power. Its design features, such as the high meshing rate achieved through the use of a thin-walled metal flexspline, allow for miniaturization while maintaining high torque output. This capability is crucial in applications where space and weight constraints are significant considerations. The gear’s high efficiency also contributes to energy savings, aligning with modern trends in energy conservation and green manufacturing.

HIWIN’s DATORKER® Strain Wave Gears find extensive use in mechanical/robotic arms, semiconductor equipment, automation industries, optical inspection equipment, machine tools, and other systems requiring high torque for rotational motion. Their compact size, high torque output, and precision positioning capabilities, combined with a range of available types, sizes, and reduction ratios, meet diverse market needs. By integrating these advanced gears into their SCARA robots, HIWIN ensures a reliable and efficient solution for various industrial automation challenges, supporting the industry’s shift towards more sustainable and efficient manufacturing practices.
