Ueno Machine & Tool Singapore (hereinafter referred to as Ueno Singapore), specializes in providing automation solutions, including industrial robots and FA peripheral devices. Since our establishment in 1995, we have built a strong track record in automating manufacturing lines and implementing transport solutions using Yamaha robots, delivering optimal equipment combinations to address our customers' challenges.

This article introduces an automation solution combining Yamaha's SCARA robots and DH Robotics' electric grippers

New Office Opened in Singapore! Yamaha Robotics

Ueno Singapore has maintained close ties with Yamaha Robotics since its inception and has achieved numerous milestones in handling their products. In February 2023, Yamaha Robotics established a local entity, "Yamaha Robotics Solutions Asia Pte. Ltd." in Singapore. This enables the company to deliver products and services to customers faster than ever before.

▲ Yamaha Robotics Singapore Showroom

Yamaha provides a comprehensive range of products, from single-axis robots to SCARA robots, allowing us to easily meet the specific requirements and conditions for building manufacturing lines. Yamaha Singapore maintains a stock of SCARA robots, which are in high demand across Southeast Asia, enabling us to offer some of the shortest delivery times among robot manufacturers

DH Robotics Electric Grippers

Many workplaces choose pneumatic air grippers for robotic hands (grippers) due to their lower initial cost and ease of implementation. However, electric grippers offer several advantages, such as eliminating the need for compressed air, making them adaptable to various environments and capable of handling multiple workpieces with a single unit. Despite these benefits, electric grippers are often more expensive than pneumatic ones, which can delay their adoption. DH Robotics, a Chinese manufacturer, offers electric grippers recommended by Ueno Singapore that combine excellent functionality and cost performance, effectively addressing these challenges.

Electric grippers capable of rotational motion are rare globally, highlighting the unique technological expertise of DH Robotics, a specialist in electric grippers. The repeat order rate from sites that have adopted these devices is high, demonstrating their convenience and effectiveness.

【Benefits of DH Robotics Electric Grippers】
✔ Low Cost
Available at approximately 60-70% of the price of typical electric grippers while still providing high functionality and excellent cost performance.
✔ Short Delivery Time
The manufacturer maintains a substantial stock of components, ensuring availability within about a week from the time of order.
✔ User-Friendly
Setup is hassle-free, and options can be easily configured. The manufacturer's prompt service facilitates smooth communication.
✔ Wide Range of Sizes
Each series offers a variety of sizes, making it easy to integrate into manufacturing lines for diverse applications.

Benefits of Integrating Yamaha SCARA Robots with DH Robotics Electric Grippers

When implementing automation solutions that incorporate robots, the unit cost of these robots significantly impacts overall expenses. As the size (stroke) of the robot increases, so does the price; thus, maintaining a more compact range can help reduce costs.

The RGI series, featuring a rotational capability, can be mounted at the tip of the robot to extend the stroke of the SCARA robot. This configuration reduces the required robot rank, thereby lowering initial installation costs. Although adaptability may vary based on workpiece shape and operating environment, the RGI series generally serves as a viable solution for basic pick-and-place operations.

▲ The RGI series, featuring rotational motion, can effortlessly open, close, and remove caps with precision and efficiency.

Compatible with a diverse range of robots from various manufacturers, including Yamaha.

At Ueno Singapore, we have demo units that integrate Yamaha robots with DH Robotics electric grippers, enabling us to conduct tests using our customers' actual workpieces.
