	Scara vs. Cartesian Robots: Selecting the Right Type for Your Applications. . . . by Bennett Brumson - Robotics ...
		Scara's are ideal for a variety of general-purpose applications requiring fast, repeatable and articulate point to point movements such as palletizing, depalletizing, machine loading/unloading and assembly.
		Due to their ''elbow'' motions, scara robots are also used for applications requiring constant acceleration through circular motions like dispensing and in-place gasket forming.
		Scara robot joints are all capable of rotation and can be thoroughly sealed and safeguarded which is necessary should the robot be deployed in dusty or corrosive environments, or for applications under water.

	YK-X SERIES : WHAT'S THE SCARA ROBOT \| INDUSTRIAL ROBOTS \| YAMAHA MOTOR
		Although SCARA robot is examined by comparing with cartesian coordinate robot in many cases owing to its operating range, it can be said that SCARA robot is suitable for works requiring speeds on three axes or four axes motions because of its excellent cost-performance ratio.
		The features of this robot include its small installation area that provides higher degree of freedom in design of a system, and in addition, provides an advantage that, in case the system is disused in the future, the robot can be installed easily on other system.
		This robot is given a high rigidity in vertical direction, and thus are adopted to move relatively heavy objects in horizontal direction.

		The kinematics is like a human arm, with the first joint being referred to as the shoulder and the second as the elbow.
		SCARA robots reportedly offer the best price/performance ratio as regarding speed.
		They are faster than cartesian robots (because they move less mass) and 6-axis robots (because they have fewer joints and are usually more rigid).

	MEKAnize: What is a SCARA? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		In general, traditional SCARA’s are 4-axis robot arms, i.e., they can move to any X-Y-Z coordinate within their work envelope.
		By virtue of the SCARA’s parallel-axis joint layout, the arm is slightly compliant in the X-Y direction but rigid in the ‘Z’ direction, hence the term: Selective Compliant.
		The second attribute of the SCARA is the jointed two-link arm layout similar to our human arms, hence the often-used term, Articulated.

	Industrial robot - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The field of industrial robotics may be more practically defined as the study, design and use of robot systems for manufacturing (a top-level definition relying on the prior definition of robot).
		Other industrial robots are much more flexible as to the orientation of the object on which they are operating or even the task that has to be performed on the object itself, which the robot may even need to identify.
		This allowed the robot to accurately follow arbitrary paths in space and widened the potential use of the robot to more sophisticated applications such as assembly and arc welding.
