What Are Industrial Robots Robot arm used in a factory environment

for manufacturing applications are called industrial robot.

Traditional industrial robots can be classified according to different criteria:

1. Industrial robots with various types of movements 2. Industrial robots for different applications 3. Serial or parallel industrial robots

1. Industrial Robots With Different Types of Movements

• Based on the type of movements, industrial robots can further classified into following categories:

– Cartesisn Robots– Scara Robots– 6-Axis Robots– Redundant Robots– Dual-arm Robots

1.1. What are Cartesian Robots?

Robots that can do 3 translations with the help of linear slide are called Cartesian Robots.

Working Principle:

1.2. Scara Robots

Robots that can do 3 translations along with a rotation around its vertical axis are called Scara Robots

General Purpose Scara Robots

1.3. 6-Axis Robots Robots that can fully

position their tool in a given position i.e. 3 translations and 3 orientations are called

General Purpose Scara Robots

1.4. Redundant Robots

Redundant robots can fully position their tool in a given position.

Redundant robots can accommodate a given tool position under different postures.

General Purpose Redundant Robots

2. Industrial Robots For Different Applications Different Robots are

created based on the specific requirements. Some of the Robots created based on specific requirements are:

1. Material Holding Robots

2. Welding Robots3. Assembly Robots4. Painting Robots5. Palletizing Robots

3. Serial or Parallel Industrial Robots• Serial robots are one of

the most common. Series of joints and linkages are used to create base to the robot tool.

• Parallel robots come in many forms. Such industrial robots are made in such a way that you can close loops from the base, to the tool and back to the base again.
