In 2008, STEP subsidiary ADTECH entered into SCARA robot field as a pioneer in China. Since then, its products have been continuously delivering brand attitude and strength in the market, leading the industry innovation and reform, and creating real value for customers by unlocking more scenarios and applications.
In the context of global energy transformation, in 2021, STEP made in-depth plans to layout the lithium industry and launched 50kg heavy-duty SCARA, which attracted other brands to follow suit and also obtained good market feedback. Now, as it continues to witness the transformation and upgrading of the manufacturing industry and the rapid increase in the application of lithium electricity in new energy vehicles and energy storage, STEP once again leads the trend and announces the renewal and upgrading of its SCARA product family, expanding models of AR series, YR series and FR series. Meanwhile, WR series side mount SCARA will also make a new appearance.
The updated SCARA has a total of 20 models, with the arm length covering 350mm-1200mm and the maximum load of 20kg. There are three mounting methods: formal mounting, reverse mounting and side mounting. These new models further enrich the full range of STEPSCARA product matrix. Thanks to the diversity of optional models and installation methods, STEPSCARA can accurately carry out efficient handling operations in the process of lithium cell segment lamination, assembly, liquid injection, insertion and removal of NGS, chemical capacity separation, module segment detection and other processes, providing more efficient and cost-effective robot solutions for the intelligent manufacturing of lithium batteries in the whole scene and process. Help users effectively improve production efficiency and product quality.
Modular design is flexible
From the integration of drive and control to the integration of vision and control, STEP is involved in almost every important node of SCARA technological reform in China. At this time, STEPSCARA product team once again leads the trend of the industry. The ontology of new SCARA adopts a highly modular structure design, and the core components such as the base, machine cover, screw cover, and arm are divided into pieces, so that users can quickly customize SCARA models with arm length and installation methods to meet their needs.
Special research and development rigid upgrade
In terms of product research and development, STEP insists on solving the pain points of the industry as the guidance, promotes the continuous innovation of lithium production technology, and brings new value breakthroughs to the industry. In this time, for the double-station glue machine and small surface glue process, STEP carried out a special research and development of pre-stacked module segment technology. By adding two guide rod accessories to the body, the rigidity of the robot was improved, meeting the requirements of the process for the robot rhythm, stability and glue accuracy.

Persisting in "speed, precision and stability"
In terms of product performance, as always, the standard international first-line brands. The new SCARA focuses on the details and reduces the volume of the hood by 35% to effectively reduce the operating wind resistance. Meanwhile, the rigidity of the arm, J4 axis and J3 axis is also optimized and upgraded. Under the support of integrated drive and control technology and high-order dynamics algorithm, the robot's key performance indicators such as running tempo, stopping accuracy, eccentric load capacity and stability are greatly improved. XY axis repeated positioning accuracy increased by 50%, Z axis repeated positioning accuracy increased by 100%; The rated J4 axis allows the inertia moment to increase by 300%, and the maximum J4 axis allows the inertia moment to increase by 120%.
Protection and cleanliness upgrade
In lithium electricity, food, medicine, semiconductor, glass, photovoltaic and other sensitive industries, production needs a clean room environment, to avoid foreign bodies to reduce product yield and safety, for this reason, the launch of SCARA new product with a clean version, at the same time the clean level reached ISO Class 5, prevent oil and particles and other pollutants leakage. It is also worth mentioning that STEP has built a "Golden bell" -like protection system for the new SCARA, raising the protection level to IP65, and making a significant leap in the ability of robots to cope with harsh and complex working environments.
Under the guidance of the "double carbon" goal, new energy is "riding the wind and waves", and intelligent manufacturing has become the biggest driver of industry progress. With the support of comprehensive robot and operation control product lines and solid technology, STEP will always provide its partners with intelligent solutions with higher precision, higher efficiency and more stability, and promote the new energy industry to continuously create a new situation of high-quality development.
