Abstract
These days, the interests on the high speed handling robots are increasing because it is important to get down the unit cost of production to get the price competitiveness. The SCARA robot with simple mechanism is more suitable to implement the high speed robot system as well known. The moving parts of SCARA robot have to be designed for high speed. But the structural analysis is induced by the robot links because they drive in high acceleration and deceleration. In this reason, the structural analysis of the high speed SCARA robot is very important in the design process. In this paper, the study on the structural analysis of a high speed SCARA robot has been done and the research results will be introduced.
