Industrial robots
Robots used in factories to do either dangerous or boring jobs that are not fit for a human. -
Welding robots
Robot welding is the use of mechanized programmable tools (robots), which completely automate a welding process by both performing the weld and handling the part. ... Robot welding is commonly used for resistance spot welding and arc welding in high production applications, such as the automotive industry. -
Painting robots
Through specialized operator programming, an industrial painting robot is able to flawlessly and consistently produce a high-quality paint finish. The technology is used not only in large scale operations such as car manufacturing plants, but also in smaller settings that require a higher level of intricate and flexible responses, such as multi-component production. -
Assembly robots
Assembly robots are used for lean industrial processes and have expanded production capabilities in the manufacturing world. An assembly line robot can dramatically increase production speed and consistency. They also save workers from tedious and dull assembly line jobs. -
Cartesian Robots
Industrial robots that work on three linear axes that use the Cartesian Coordinate system (X, Y, and Z), meaning they move in straight lines on 3-axis (up and down, in and out, and side to side) -
SCARA Robots
Stands for Selective Compliance Assembly Robot Arm or Selective Compliance Articulated Robot Arm. SCARA Robots function on 3-axis (X, Y, and Z), and have a rotary motion as well. -
Articulated Robots
Articulated Robots mechanical movement and configuration closely resembles a human arm. The arm is mounted to a base with a twisting joint. The arm itself can feature anywhere from two rotary joints up to ten rotary joints which act as axes, with each additional joint or axis allowing for a greater degree of motion. -
Cylindrical Robots
Cylindrical Robots have a rotary joint at the base and a prismatic joint to connect the links. The robots have a cylindrical-shaped work envelop, which is achieved with rotating shaft and an extendable arm that moves in a vertical and sliding motion. -
Delta Robots
Delta Robots, or parallel robots, possess three arms connected to a single base, which is mounted above the workspace. Delta Robots work in a dome-shape and can move both delicately and precisely at high speeds due to each joint of the end effector being directly controlled by all three arms. -
Polar Robots
Polar Robots, or spherical robots, have an arm with two rotary joints and one linear joint connected to a base with a twisting joint. The axes of the robot work together to form a polar coordinate, which allows the robot to have a spherical work envelope. -
Collaborative Robots
Collaborative Robots or Cobots are robots that can directly and safely interact with humans in a shared workspace.
