SCARA Tool Flange

This tutorial details the necessity and installation of tool flanges for FANUC SCARA robots. It distinguishes between the two different flange types available, providing specific part numbers and mass properties for different robot series. The video offers step-by-step instructions and a live demonstration on how to attach the flange correctly, emphasizing the importance of aligning the utility hole and clamping screw for consistent positioning. Furthermore, it explains how to incorporate the flange’s mass, center of gravity, and inertia into the overall tooling data, using Solidworks as an example to ensure accurate robot payload information.
