Rebel S family: a modular concept to answer the growing market demand in the small robot sector for high speed "Pick&Place" applications in general industry.
Resolves the shortcomings of previous SCARA and parallel-link robots. Offers both superior positioning accuracy and high speed. YAMAHA'S Next-Generation SCARA Robot: The YK-TW Omnidirectional 01 User: We want a smaller equipment footprint. Layout design freedomThe YK-TW can move anywhere through the full 1000 mm* downward range.Featuring a ceiling-mount configuration with a wide arm rotation angle, the YK-TW can access any point within the full 1000 mm downward range. This eliminates all motion-related restrictions with regard to pallet and conveyor placement operations, while dramatically reducing the equipment footprint.* Applies to the YK500TW
Underpass motionOptimize use of the space right below the main unit
Improvement of productivity
The standard cycle time for moving 1-kg load horizontally 300 mm and up/down 25 mm is shortened by approximately 36 % compared to existing YAMAHA models.* Measurement may vary depending on conditions.
02 User: We want a higher quality assembly system. Higher qualityThe YK-TW offers a repeated positioning accuracy of +/-0.01 mm* (XY axes).
This is a much higher repeated positioning accuracy than that offered by a parallel-link robot. This was accomplished by optimizing the robot's weight balance through an extensive re-design of its internal construction. The lightweight yet highly rigid arm has also been fitted with optimally tuned motors to enable high accuracy positioning.* Applies to the YK350TW
03 User: We need to reduce our tact times. Higher productivity
The YK-TW offers a standard cycle time of 0.29 secs*
The Y-axis (arm 2) passes beneath the X-axis (arm 1) and it has a horizontal articulated structure, allowing it to move along the optimal path between points. Moreover, the optimized weight balance of the internal components reduces the cycle time by 36 % as compared to previous models.* Applies to the YK500TW
The standard cycle time for moving a 1-kg load horizontally 300 mm and up/down 25 mm is shortened by approx. 36 % compared to previous YAMAHA models.
04 User: We need to move heavy workpieces at high speeds. Suitable for a wide range of applications
The YK-TW can handle workpieces weighing up to 5 kg.
Handles loads up to 5 kg. Also accommodates arm-end tools which tend to be heavy, making it highly adaptable to various applications.
05 User: We want to reduce the height of our equipment. Smaller equipment footprint
The YK-TW offers both a low height and a small footprint.
The YK-TW height is only 392 mm. This compact size enables more freedom in the equipment layout design.
06 User: Parallel-link robots require large frames which complicate installation… Easy installation
The YK-TW has a total height of only 392 mm, and weighs only 27 kg*. Due to its low inertia, a sturdy frame is not required.
* Applies to the YK500TW
An optional dedicated installation frame is available for the YK-TW. For details, contact a YAMAHA sales representative.
07 Preparing an installation stand is too much bother. A dedicated stand is availableSetup can be simplified
As an option, we provide a dedicated installation stand for the YK-TW.* There's no need to calculate strength, so setup can be simplified.* Contact Yamaha for details on dimensions and price.
08 User: Operating our equipment in stringent environments is worrisome… Environment resistantThe YK-TW features the same type of resolver as those used in hybrid automobiles and aircraft.
This resolver is a magnetic position sensor. It features a simple construction with no electronic or optical parts, making it far less susceptible to failure than conventional optical encoders. It is this superior environment resistance and low failure rate that makes it reliable enough for use in many fields such as hybrid automobiles and aircraft, etc., where reliability is essential.

Epson Robots started the Compact class of SCARA robots about 10 years ago with the simple understanding that "smaller is better". Now 10 years later, once again Epson Robots is leading the way with the same "smaller is better" priciple applied to our G1 series robots. Epson G1 175 and 225mm arms are Mini SCARA arms with the same high performance you've come to expect from all Epson Robots. G1 cycle times lead the industry and the best part is that they not only beat competitive models in speed tests, they do it while handling larger payloads as compared to competitive models. Also, with repeatabilities down to 0.005mm G1 arms can handle many of the high precision jobs that used to require high precision XY arms which take up lots of factory space with their large footprints.Epson G1 Mini SCARA robots are the robot of choice for super high precision, high speed applications where performance AND low cost are required. They are ideal for applications such as hard drive assembly, lab automation, electronics assembly, medical device assembly, photonics, semiconductor, telecommunications, solar, and many others.Unique to the G1 Mini SCARA robots is that they are available as 4 axis or 3 axis models. G1 Mini SCARA robots can be ordered with the last rotational axis (U-Axis) removed. This is for applications where rotational orientation of the part is not required.
