Yamaha’s Pole type Cartesian robot features a vertically moving Y-axis carriage and can be configured with either two or three axes. It is designed to provide a solution for applications that require a large work envelope while occupying minimal floor space.
The two-axis Pole type robot provides horizontal (X-axis) and vertical (Y-axis) movement, while the three-axis configuration adds a Z-axis for up and down movement. The range of movement for the Pole type robot varies depending on the specific model and configuration but typically offers a range of several hundred millimeters in each axis.
The Pole type robot is ideal for applications that require vertical positioning of parts or tooling. It can be used for tasks such as pick and place, assembly, packaging, and inspection. Its compact design allows it to be installed in tight spaces where a traditional SCARA or six-axis robot may not fit.
Additionally, the Pole type robot can be configured with various end-of-arm tooling options, including grippers, vacuum cups, and custom-designed tooling to suit specific application needs. The Y-axis carriage can also be fitted with an electric linear actuator to provide additional functionality such as part clamping or positioning.
Overall, the Pole type Cartesian robot provides an excellent solution for applications that require a combination of vertical and horizontal movement while occupying minimal floor space. Its versatility and compact design make it suitable for use in a variety of industries, including automotive, electronics, food and beverage, and medical.
