14 Facts About Industrial robots

Industrial robots are automated, programmable and capable of movement on three or more axes.

Typical applications of Industrial robots include welding, painting, assembly, disassembly, pick and place for printed circuit boards, packaging and labeling, palletizing, product inspection, and testing; all accomplished with high endurance, speed, and precision.

Cylindrical coordinate Industrial robots are characterized by their rotary joint at the base and at least one prismatic joint connecting its links.

SCARA Industrial robots are recognized by their two parallel joints which provide movement in the X-Y plane.

SCARA Industrial robots are used for jobs that require precise lateral movements.

Delta Industrial robots take advantage of four bar or parallelogram linkage systems.

Some Industrial robots are programmed to faithfully carry out specific actions over and over again without variation and with a high degree of accuracy.

For example, for more precise guidance, Industrial robots often contain machine vision sub-systems acting as their visual sensors, linked to powerful computers or controllers.

Unimation Industrial robots were called programmable transfer machines since their main use at first was to transfer objects from one point to another, less than a dozen feet or so apart.

The first two IRB 6 Industrial robots were sold to Magnusson in Sweden for grinding and polishing pipe bends and were installed in production in January 1974.

Second type of singularity in wrist-partitioned vertically articulated six-axis Industrial robots occurs when the wrist center lies on a cylinder that is centered about axis 1 and with radius equal to the distance between axes 1 and 4.

Third and last type of singularity in wrist-partitioned vertically articulated six-axis Industrial robots occurs when the wrist's center lies in the same plane as axes 2 and 3.

Injuries and fatalities could increase over time because of the increasing number of collaborative and co-existing Industrial robots, powered exoskeletons, and autonomous vehicles into the work environment.
