The red boundary is the shape of the work envelope
for this type of robot.
SCARA stands for Selective Compliance
Automation Robotic Arm.
Usually, at the end of arm, there would be a vertical acting linear
axes with either a vacuum pick up, a reciprocating cutter (Garment
industry) or a power tool, viz. screw driver (for mechanical assembly).
Here, a normal Artec combined 3-axis mounted gripper is shown
as applicable to Laboratory use in picking up test tubes or even
radioactive sample carriers. This type of robot is ideal for handling
a large number of sample carriers and sorting into categorized
arrays.
