Hello everyone. In this video, we will look at SCARA robots on a vertical support column. Recently, we added support for these robots. To add this robot, you need to use the MachineMaker application.

And through the Add Mechanism button, select the SCARA robot, choose the 3D model of this robot, and configure it. Before the configuration, you need to select the correct brand for our robot and choose the column type. After that, you can mark the robot in this way and go to the Kinematics tab. On this tab, we can already see that the default settings are suitable.

We can slightly adjust the fourth joint and go to the Simulations tab. On this tab, let's see how our robot moves. After we confirm that the robot is moving correctly, we click the Apply button and can add a tool for moving objects for this robot. In this case, we will use the local library and this tool.

After we added the tool, we can also move the robot a bit higher, as it is currently in the zero position. We will also raise it to these values. We can send this project to the ENCY Hyper application. We click the Export button and add a few tables so that we can move the parts.

This will be the first table. We will add a tray to it. And we will add a second identical table. We will add a tray.

We will go to the Parts tab and add this cylinder. In principle, the tool length is acceptable for us. We click the Apply button and add these cylinders to the first table. We will go to the Programming tab and check how our robot will perform its task now.

We will tell the robot that if the first table is fully processed, it will need to go to the starting point. We will recalculate the project and see that our robot cannot reach the first table, meaning the parts are out of reach. We need to move this table closer to the robot and check if it can reach it next time. After we move the table again, we recalculate and still see that the robot cannot reach it.

For easier viewing, we can use the Robot Work Area function where we see that the robot can reach these points. Now we need to prepare the work area, adjust the tables, set the dimensions, and move the cylinders so that they are a bit higher and lower. After we edited the table dimensions, it became easier for the robot to reach our parts. Commands are set, trajectory is clear, so we can start the simulation and confirm the robot's task.

We see that all joints are working correctly. There are also minor collisions here that we can easily avoid using safe path commands. In this example, we will not consider this. We are looking at the support for these robots and how they perform their tasks.

And as we can see, our robot successfully completed its task. Thank you all for watching.
