We save a good bit of money by stepping down to a 5 axis.
What mobility is lost by moving down to it?
Thank you!!
5 Axis Fanuc? What do I lose?

Personally, I wouldn't do it, but I dont know what you are using it for.
I believe the 5 axis usually is missing what would normally be J4.

The Scara SR3-iA has 400mm reach and 200mm stroke the next size up is the SR6-iA which has 650mm reach and 210mm stroke. If you need distance up and down in the quill a scara would not be an option. Also you have to take into consideration that the SR3-iA has 3Kg payload and SR6-iA has 6 Kg payload . The weight of your part will have a effect on you choice as well.

If the parts are all presented in the same orientation, same flat plane and only vary in x,y,z, r (no change in w or p) then the 5 axis LR mate should be ok. Assuming you have checked reach and payload. You basically lose w or x axis rotation.
Make sure you can level and square the robot, picking surface and end effector.

So basically it fits the same range as a scara?

It would be safe to plan that way but it has more dof than a scara.
