SIASUN SA10A-10/0.70 (SA10A-10/0.70)

Hang a heavy gripper on the end of a horizontal arm and every weakness of the machine appears at the tool: the overshoot at the end of a move, the brief tremor before a part can be released, the fraction of a second lost each cycle waiting for the arm to settle. The SIASUN SA10A-10/0.70 (SA10A-10/0.70) tackles that problem from the structure outwards. It is a SCARA robot rated for a 10 kg (22 lbs) payload over a 700mm reach, and its dual-support structure and all-new proprietary core components are designed for greater rigidity and reduced vibration. A substantial tool can therefore be moved quickly and set down precisely, rather than merely carried.

Robots Middle East supplies the SIASUN SA10A-10/0.70 to manufacturers and system integrators throughout the Middle East. Robots Middle East prepares each quotation, coordinates delivery to the customer's site and supports the robot once it is in service, so that buyers in the region work with a single partner from the first enquiry to everyday production.

Background

SIASUN and the SA10A generation

SIASUN is a Chinese robotics and automation manufacturer whose range covers industrial arms of several types, including a family of SCARA robots offered in a number of payload and reach combinations. The SA10A series is a brand-new generation within that family, developed by SIASUN with the aim of serving a wider range of automation scenarios while keeping maintenance costs down. Three versions are named in the series: the SA10A-10/0.60, the SA10A-10/0.70 and the SA10A-10/0.80. The model described on this page, the SA10A-10/0.70, is the version with a 700mm reach.

The generation is positioned squarely at the industries where SCARA robots do much of their work. SIASUN identifies 3C electronics, lithium battery, photovoltaic and automotive electronics production, together with related sectors, as the primary application industries for the series. These are sectors in which lines run at high tempo, products change frequently and floor space within a cell is rarely generous.

Dual-support structure and modular design

Two design decisions define the SA10A series. The first is mechanical: a dual-support structure combined with all-new proprietary core components. SIASUN states that this pairing delivers enhanced load capacity, higher precision, faster speed, greater rigidity and reduced vibration, which are precisely the qualities that determine whether a SCARA arm can work confidently with heavier tooling at the edge of its working envelope.

The second decision concerns how the robot is built and looked after. The series uses a modular design, intended both to adapt the robot to more automation scenarios and to reduce maintenance costs over its working life. Around this core, the main unit carries abundant user cables, the robot is paired with a new generation of S series control cabinet, and several programming and teaching methods are supported. The body itself is lightweight and compact, with a lighter main unit and a lower overall height that eases space constraints in the cell.

How does the dual-support structure help with heavier tooling?

On a SCARA robot, the load at the tool acts on the arm through a long lever. The further the arm extends, the more any flexibility in the structure turns into deflection and residual vibration at the end effector. With a 10 kg (22 lbs) payload and a 700mm reach, the SA10A-10/0.70 is designed for work in which that lever is significant: multi-cup vacuum grippers, servo grippers, screwdriving heads and other tools that weigh considerably more than the parts they handle.

The dual-support structure is SIASUN's answer to that lever. By supporting the moving elements more firmly and combining this with new proprietary core components, the series is designed to deliver greater rigidity and reduced vibration. In practice, a stiffer arm settles sooner after each move, which allows motion to be tuned for speed without sacrificing placement accuracy. For an integrator, this broadens the choice of tooling: a heavier, more capable gripper becomes a realistic option rather than a compromise imposed by the arm.

The modular design complements the mechanical case. A robot that is easier to maintain keeps its stiffness and accuracy available to production for longer, and the abundant user cables on the main unit allow the signals and air lines that heavier tooling usually requires to be routed in a tidy, serviceable way.

How does the SA10A-10/0.70 compare with the other SA10A versions?

The SA10A series is offered in three versions, and the clearest distinction is reach. The SA10A-10/0.70 combines its 10 kg (22 lbs) payload with a 700mm reach, which makes it the middle option among the three. The SIASUN SA10A-10/0.60 (SA10A-10/0.60) and the SIASUN SA10A-10/0.80 (SA10A-10/0.80) share the same series design, with the dual-support structure, modular construction, S series control cabinet and multiple programming methods, and differ in their working envelope. Their individual figures are set out on their own pages.

Choosing between them is a question of the cell rather than the robot. Where the pick and place points, feeders and fixtures sit comfortably within a 700mm envelope, the SA10A-10/0.70 offers ample coverage without carrying a larger arm than the task needs. Where the layout requires more or less extension, the appropriate sibling is the logical choice, and Robots Middle East can compare the versions against a specific cell drawing during the enquiry.

Who is the SIASUN SA10A-10/0.70 for?

The robot is aimed first at manufacturers in the sectors SIASUN names as primary: 3C electronics assemblers handling housings, boards and sub-assemblies; lithium battery producers moving cells, modules and associated components; photovoltaic manufacturers handling parts in module production; and automotive electronics suppliers assembling control units and sensors. In each of these sectors the combination of a meaningful payload and a reduced-vibration structure suits tooling that has to be both substantial and precise.

System integrators form the second group. The abundant user cables, the new generation of S series control cabinet and support for multiple programming and teaching methods make the SA10A-10/0.70 a flexible building block for turnkey cells, while the lower overall height and lighter main body help it fit into machines and stations where space is tight.

Buyers whose application calls for a different envelope should look at the other SA10A versions described above. Those whose parts and tools call for a different payload class can browse the wider SCARA range, which includes other SIASUN families such as the SIASUN SA7A-7/0.50 (SA7A-7/0.50) and the SIASUN SA20A-20/0.80 (SA20A-20/0.80).

What is the SIASUN SA10A-10/0.70 used for?

1. 3C assembly: placing housings, boards and components in consumer electronics production.
2. Lithium battery handling: transferring cells and modules between conveyors, fixtures and test stations.
3. Photovoltaic production: handling parts and sub-assemblies along solar module lines.
4. Automotive electronics: assembling control units, sensors and connectors with heavier multi-function tooling.
5. Pick-and-place transfer: moving parts at speed between feeders, trays and assembly nests.
6. Machine and tester loading: feeding and unloading inspection or processing equipment within a compact cell.
