Selective Compliance Assembly Robot Arm (SCARA) assemblies are widely used in semiconductor manufacturing because they excel at performing motions in a horizontal plane, where most wafer-handling movements take place. Like any high-voltage machinery moving at high speeds, SCARA robots can cause significant damage to their own components and to surrounding machines if they malfunction. To help prevent such an occurrence, engineers at 3T designed an emergency braking system for SCARA robots. Lees meer [Bron: nl.mathworks.com]
