PreciseFlex SCARA Robot Coming Soon This summer, Precise Automation will introduce the PreciseFlex three or four axis SCARA robot. This low-cost, quiet OEM robot includes the same great features as our existing line of PrecisePlace robots (optional machine vision, quick and easy set-up, no controller cabinet, harness and controller embedded within the robot structure). The PreciseFlex can be equipped with a vertically mounted gripper that allows the robot to reach down to assemble parts or a horizontally mounted gripper that can service a row of equipment that is not directly in-line with the robot's base. Combined with the powerful Guidance Controller that is included with each robot, and Precise's advanced SCARA kinematics and motion control, the PreciseFlex can greatly reduce cycle times with the most efficient station-to-station motions possible. More information will be coming to our website soon.
