‘Scara Robots’

An Engineeringtalk guide

Start with the news release Quattro robot breaks performance threshold from Adept Technology, which we summarised at the time by saying "Adept Technology has announced that its Quattro robot has broken the 300-cycle-per-minute barrier.". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release NI drag-and-drop powers Lego robotics kit from National Instruments: "National Instruments has announced a new version of its drag-and-drop software that powers the Lego Mindstorms NXT 2.0 robotics kits. ".
 
In October 2009, we covered the news from Adept Technology - take a look at Adept to demonstrate packaging management software which says: "Adept Technology will demonstrate its Ace Packxpert advanced packaging management software at the Japan International Packaging Machinery Show 2009 in Tokyo on 20-23 October.".
 
Take a look also at the news release from Rodriguez (UK), Universal Robot increases production capacity, as well as Fanuc partners expand plastics operations from Fanuc Robotics (UK), and Evologics exhibits subsea modem technology from Evologics.
