Definition of industrial robot

Industrial manipulator, also known as industrial robot arm, is an actuator assembly composed of mechanical parts. According to different structures, it consists of precision servo motors, mechanical structural components, screw rods, guide rails, timing belts, rack and pinion and other mechanical parts .

What is an industrial robot?

Industrial robot = industrial manipulator + drive system, that is, a manipulator with control, which can be programmed to make the manipulator move under a specified program.

At this stage, the names of industrial manipulators, industrial robot arms, and industrial robots are very confusing, and they are not very rigorous. They can be called. People in the industry generally look for control systems.

What is a linear module?

Supported by linear guide rails, the combination of slide tables driven by belts or screw rods is called linear modules. Linear modules are also called linear slides, linear robots. Linear and straight lines mean the same, so they are also called linear modules, linear slides, and linear robots.

What is a single-axis robot

A robot controlled by a servo motor or an axis. A linear robot is generally driven by a servo, so it belongs to a single-axis robot.

What is a Cartesian Robot?

Manipulator composed of multiple linear manipulators,

What is a Cartesian Coordinate Robot?

Cartesian manipulator + drive control system

What is a multi-axis robot

Manipulator driven by more than two axes or servos. Cartesian robots are multi-axis robots. The 6-DOF manipulator, the 3-DOF manipulator, the horizontal joint manipulator, the parallel manipulator, and the injection machine loading and unloading manipulators are all multi-axis manipulators, but they all need to be equipped with a dedicated controller to operate. They all have a control system at the factory, so They are called 6-axis robots, 3-axis robots, horizontal joint robots, and parallel robots.
