OVR Series SCARA Robots

OVR Series SCARA Robots

OVR logo

The OVR Series SCARA 3-axis small horizontal transport robot features a simple mechanism that can be easily controlled and constructed cost-effectively. SCARA (Selective Compliance Assembly Robot Arm) uses a parallel Z-axis combined with compliant X-Y axes to provide accurate movement in confined areas. The pedestal mount creates a small footprint and the SCARA robot is typically faster than a Cartesian Robot. Control with the MRCU Integrated Robot Controller & Drivers.

  • Approach narrow spaces (compared to general SCARA robots)
  • Lightweight and flat with chassis mass of 7.6 ~ 8.9 kg and a height of 137 ~ 205 mm
  • Transportable mass 3 ~ 10 kg
  • 2 moving range types: ±170 deg or ±360 deg
  • Simple dust-resistant structure available
  • The use of mounting brackets expands the operating range in the vertical direction

SCARA Robots

SCARA (Selective Compliance Assembly Robot Arm) uses a parallel Z-axis combined with "compliant" X-Y axes to provide accurate movement in confined areas. The pedestal mount creates a small footprint and the SCARA robot is typically faster than a Cartesian Robot.

Oriental Motor's 3-Axis SCARA Robots combined with our MRC robot controllers and MRC Studio Software allow for simple control and performance in a complete robot solution.

Flat SCARA Robot

Compared to general SCARA robots, the flat design allows the robot to handle narrow space, such as for attaching and detaching parts to and from equipment.

 

Omni-directional movement shortens takt time

The Full 360° type is capable of omni-directional motion.


 

 


Simple Dust-Resistant Structure

Products equipped with a simple dust cover are available. This cover prevents foreign matter intrusion and reduces cable abraision.

Built-in Battery-Free Absolute Encoder

The αSTEP AZ Series (DC input) is used for all axes. No external sensors are required, simplifying the wiring. No battery is needed, so maintenance can be reduced. Absolute Mechanical Sensor

Self Maintenance is Possible

Electric actuators for each axis can be replaced by the customer. Reduces the maintenance burden (cost and time) after installation. Please contact Oriental Motor for replacement motor numbers, prices, and the replacement procedure.

Easy Setup Quickly

Easy Setup, Even for Beginners

The OVR Series small industrial robots can help reduce setup time because dimensional data, such as arm length, is already registered with the MRC Studio software.

Easy Setup, Even for Beginners

Say Goodbye to Ladder Logic! Operation Programming with Item Selection

Program creation uses a simple command selection format. Programs can be created intuitively, without requiring specialized knowledge such as ladder diagrams. The system supports a range of advanced motion control operations, including P-to-P, linear interpolation, circular interpolation, and arc motion, among others. Operating data is executed directly from a host controller via EtherNet/IP

Drag and drop commands, no ladder logic

Configuration of a Robot Vision System Using 2D Cameras

The robot controller is equipped with useful functions for operating the robot using load position and angle information acquired by the camera.

In order to integrate the 2D camera, MRC Studio is used to perform the calibration* in advance. The settings can be easily configured by simply following the on-screen instructions while looking at the illustrations, allowing for a reduction in the work hours necessary for correction.
*Up to two motors

Simple Control with a Robot Controller

Knowledge of "Networks", "Ladder Programs", and "Kinematics operations" is needed to run robots.
OVR Series small industrial robots utilize a simple robot controller, making it easy to start up and control the robot, even without robot control experience. Simple Control with a Robot Controller

MRC Reality (AR App for Mobile)

MRC Reality AR App for Mobile

We have an iPhone/iPad app that allows a robot to be seen in real space to simulate its operation. This simulator allows you to make the small robot OVR appear in the actual space and check its size and range of motion. Please use it to check the size and mechanism movement that are difficult to grasp from catalog information alone. Please contact our technical support for the details.
