Delta IA's New SCARA Robot DRS50L/DRS70L Series for Future Smart Manufacturing Success

Delta Industrial Automation (IA) has just launched its latest Selective Compliance Assembly Robot Arm (SCARA) DRS50L and DRS70L Series to meet the requirements of recent smart manufacturing trends. The new robot series features arm lengths of 500mm and 700mm, with high repeatability and precision for light industries. The robot's excellent smart manufacturing performance will provide a continuing boost to customers' competitiveness and success.

Delta's DRS50L and DRS70L Series both offer 6 kg maximum payload, 0.39 sec./ 0.40sec. cycle time and up to ±0.01mm repeatability. Its key characteristics include exceptional speed, linearity, verticality and repeatability. With sensor-less compliance control, the Series can compensate for the deviations between work pieces and insertion holes. The DRS50L/DRS70L is able to conduct processes such as insertion, screw locking, assembly, coating, transfer, soldering, transporting, and packaging for electrical/electronics, rubber and plastic, packaging, metal fabrication and many other industries.

As the manufacturing industry evolves, current market trends demand short commodity cycles and greater variety. Today, manufacturers face major issues such as labor shortages, and robots with high flexibility are an ideal solution for solving many issues. With more than 20 years of technology experience, Delta launched its first SCARA robot DRS40L/DRS60L, which features 400mm/600mm arm lengths and 3 kg/ 6 kg maximum payloads, in 2015. The Series has been successfully applied at many production lines and process workstations at Delta IA's production facilities in Wujiang, China and Taoyuan, Taiwan. Significant application results show improvements in daily productivity by nearly three times, shortening production times and cycles, and reducing required manpower.

Delta currently offers four types of SCARA robots (DRS40L/DRS50L/DRS60L/DRS70L) with different arm lengths for conducting a broad range of operations such as deburring and soldering. The DRS Series is easily matched with Delta control units and other peripheral devices (e.g. servo systems, machine vision systems and linear modules) to establish a highly integrated robotic workstation. These robot workstations help to fill key manufacturing roles such as interchangeable production lines, quick re-assembling, object identification, inspection for consistent and improved product quality as well as efficiency.

In Taiwan, sales for industrial robots and solutions are increasing rapidly. Delta continues to improve and develop all types of SCARA robots and articulated robots by embracing our customers' suggestions and targeting different industry applications to provide “Automation for a Changing World”!
