The Innovative Robotics IR-800 is an advanced materials-handling robot for high throughput and reliability in an ISO Class 1 cleanroom environment. The IR-800 transfers wafers up to 30% faster than conventional robots. The IR-800 is a true selectively compliant articulated robot arm (SCARA) configuration with independently controlled motion of each of the axes.
Each rotational axis can operate freely through +/-320 degrees thereby eliminating all dead zones.
Unlike the limited flexibility and constrained motion of R-Theta robots, the IR-800 design permits material to be moved between multiple I/O ports without the need for a linear track to move the robot.
The ISO Class 1 robot is controlled by the powerful yet compact R-J3c controller, which is manufactured by Fanuc Robotics of Japan, a leading supplier of assembly robots.
The IR-800 has a maximum reach of 508mm and a payload of 2.2kg.
Placement repeatability is guaranteed to be +/-0.05mm for any point within the operating space.
Applications for the IR-800 include cleanroom operations, materials handling, assembly, part transfer and machine tending.
Alliance Sales (Europe) is responsible for sales and technical support in the UK, Scandinavia and Finland of the Innovative Robotics range of wafer handling robot systems to the semiconductor industry.
