SCARA robot is a robot arm for assembly. SCARA robot has four axes and four degrees of freedom. It is efficient, flexible, fast and durable.

The world's first SCARA robot was developed by Masano Yang of Yamanashi University in Japan. However, when Makino first developed it in 1978, he would not have thought that today, 40 years later, SCARA robots can become popular in the field of automation and become an indispensable and important element in automated production.

However, in fact, SCARA robot has not only been widely used in 3C electronics, semiconductor, food, medicine and other industries, but also its market has witnessed rapid growth.

SCARA robot market is hot

In recent years, with the accelerated release of the demand for automated production and the gradual disappearance of the demographic dividend, industrial robots have begun to gain application and development, and the trend of "machine substitution" has become increasingly prominent. In this case, SCARA robot took advantage of the rise of the robot market and opened up a way for its own robot development.

General industrial robots are mainly used in automobile manufacturing, large and heavy vehicle parts production, providing a good landing environment for six-axis industrial robots. However, as the "factory of the world", the potential application market of China's robot industry is not only in the automotive manufacturing industry, but also in the electronic manufacturing, home appliances, hardware processing, textile, paper making, and other industries. The components in these industries are precision and small. The requirements for robots are not only high precision, but also fast, providing a good application opportunity for SCARA robots.

Compared with the 6-axis industrial robot, the SCARA robot has only 4 axes, but it can also meet the needs of domestic manufacturing industry. Its reliability and safety are not inferior, and its price is more advantageous. Therefore, in recent years, with the development of 3C electronics industry, the scale of SCARA robot market has grown very rapidly.

According to relevant data, in 2016, the scale of China's SCARA robot market was close to 900 million yuan, with a compound growth rate of 30% in the next three years. By the end of 2018, the domestic market size will reach about 1.5 billion yuan, an increase of nearly 70% compared with 2016. With the continuous release of the application demand of SCARA robot industry, its demand will further increase in the future and will open a broader scale market.
