11 Facts About Industrial robot

The compact effector design allows the Industrial robot to reach tight workspaces without any loss of speed.

For example, the 3 DoF Delta Industrial robot has lower 3T mobility and has proven to be very successful for rapid pick-and-place translational positioning applications.

The first company to produce a robot was Unimation, founded by Devol and Joseph F Engelberger in 1956.

Repeatability is usually the most important criterion for a Industrial robot and is similar to the concept of 'precision' in measurement—see accuracy and precision.

Typically a Industrial robot is sent to a taught position a number of times and the error is measured at each return to the position after visiting 4 other positions.

Setup or programming of motions and sequences for an industrial robot is typically taught by linking the robot controller to a laptop, desktop computer or network.

The purpose of the Industrial robot software is to facilitate both these programming tasks.

Typically once the Industrial robot has been programmed there is no more use for the teach pendant.

Robotics simulators have the ability to provide real-time computing of the simulated motion of an industrial robot using both geometric modeling and kinematics modeling.

For example, a Industrial robot which is moving items from one place to another (bin B) might have a simple 'pick and place' program similar to the following:.

Some industrial robot manufacturers have attempted to side-step the situation by slightly altering the robot's path to prevent this condition.
