Articulated Robots
Articulated robots are the most common types of industrial robots. Their resemblance to a human arm is perhaps one of the reasons they stand out so much in our minds. However, the mechanical benefits of this design are the real reason for their ubiquity and longevity.
Arm design combines an extensive range of rotation motion and linear reach with the advantages of precision movement.
Articulated arms are ideal for welding, material handling, pick-and-place operations, and dispensing. Their numerous axes and degrees of freedom mean that there is virtually no point in their work envelope that they cannot reach.
This makes articulated robots one of the most versatile, flexible, and compact designs on the market.
