About Industrial Robots
Industrial robots are programmable mechanical devices that contain rotary and/or prismatic joints in order to perform precise, repetitive movements. There are several basic types of industrial robots. Articulated robots have arms with three rotary joints. Cartesian robots (rectangular coordinate robots, rectilinear robots) have three prismatic joints whose axes are coincident with a Cartesian (X, Y, and Z) coordinate system. Gantry robots are a type of Cartesian robot that is suspended from an X or X/Y axis beam. Cylindrical robots operate in a cylinder-shaped space or coordinate system and have at least one rotary joint and at least one prismatic joint. Parallel robots such as hexapods have multiple arms, each of which has three concurrent prismatic joints. Selectively compliant arm for robotic assembly (SCARA) robots are cylindrical and have two parallel joints to provide compliance in one selected plane. Spherical robots have an arm with two rotary joints and one prismatic joint. The axes of a spherical robot form a polar coordinate system.
