Delta's SCARA Robot DRS40L Series Wins "Golden Finger Award for Most Innovative Robot” at CIROS 2016

Delta's SCARA Robot DRS40L Series, featuring high speed, repeatability, flexibility and multi-functionality, was recognized with the first Golden Finger Award for “The Most Innovative Robot” at the China International Robot Show (CIROS) 2016 in Shanghai on July 6th.

As one of the three largest worldwide robotics exhibitions, CIROS is jointly hosted by the China Machinery Industry Federation (CMIF), China Robot Industry Alliance (CRIA) and CMEPO Exhibition CO., Ltd (CMEPO). This major award ceremony is also held by the hosts of CIROS and the Machinery & Electronics Business. Delta GreenTech (China) Robot Product Department Manager Jimmy Jiang received the award on behalf of the company.

Mr. Jiang noted that the award not only recognizes Delta's SCARA for its leading technology, improvement in productivity, quality, and labor efficiency, but also highlights Delta's advantages in innovation, leadership and contributions towards the development of smart industry. Most of all, this award marks an important milestone for Delta's industrial robots to continue fulfilling customers' demands and provide better functionality.

The DRS40L Series SCARA robot was launched in 2015. It can be easily integrated with other Delta peripheral devices including the Robot Controller ASDA-MS Series, Teaching Pendant DOP-H Series, and Absolute Type AC Servo Motors ECMA Series. The DRS40L with Delta's robot solution can be applied in the production lines of many industries, including electrical /electronics, rubber and plastic, packaging and metal fabrication for efficient production and consistently good quality. Main features of the DRS40L Series are as follows:

• Offers High Speed, High Linearity, Excellent Verticality and Repeatability
The DRS40L Series features a 3 kg maximum payload, 0.42 second cycle time, 400mm arm length and up to ±0.01mm repeatability. It offers excellent speed, linearity, verticality and repeatability. With sensor-less compliance control, it can rapidly and precisely perform operations such as screw driving, assembly, load and unload, transporting and packaging in light industries and at high precision levels.

• Fulfills Simultaneous Tracking Demand and Provides Versatile Control Approaches
The automatic process path planning function of Delta SCARA robots fulfill industry needs for conveyor tracking processes such as gluing, deburring and soldering. The DRS40L provides customers with simple and multiple teaching methods via a teaching pendant, PC, or PAD.

• Establishes Highly Integrated Robotic Workstation
When matched with control units and other peripheral devices such as servo systems, machine vision systems and linear modules, the SCARA robot becomes a highly integrated work station. For example, the DRS40L Series employs Delta's machine vision system for object identification and inspection to improve production quality, efficiency, and yield rate. Delta's SCARA can be easily applied to production automation for higher flexibility and can assist customers in achieving smart and efficient production as well as improving productivity and quality.
