Types of Industrial Robot

Cartesian robots

Cartesian robots, also known as gantry robots, are the type of industrial robots that perform linear movements in space. They move along the x, y, and z axes, which are all orthogonal/perpendicular to each other. Cartesian robots form a cuboidal working area/envelope.

Articulated robots

Articulated robots are industrial robots with rotary joints. The joints are typically powered by servo motors and are called the robot's axes. The movements of simple articulated robots resemble that of a human arm. In complex setups, the number of such joints can go up to and even exceed 10. Articulated robots are also called jointed arm robots.

Cylindrical robots

Cylindrical robots are industrial robots having a rotary joint at the base connected to a shaft with an arm having a prismatic joint. The robot has three axes of movement, two of which are linear and one being circular. The shaft connected to the base of the bot can rotate, and the arm can move up and down and even extend to form a cylindrical working envelope.

Delta robots

Delta robots are industrial robots made on a rigid triangular frame. The frame is mounted right above the working area, with each arm hosting a high-torque servo motor. The shaft of the motor is connected to an arm called the "bicep, " which extends in the perpendicular direction of the motor's axis of rotation. The other end of the bicep is connected to rods arranged in a parallelogram shape.

Polar robots

Polar robots, or spherical robots, are industrial robots with two rotational and one linear joint. The rotary movement and the vertical lift of the robot are possible through the rotational joints. Linear joint facilitates the extension of the robotic arm that lets it extend its working space around it, resulting in a spherical working envelope.
These robots get their name from the polar coordinate system, a coordinate system in which each point in space is characterized by its distance from the origin and the angle made by it with the axes about the origin.

SCARA robots

SCARA is an acronym for Selective Compliance Assembly Robot Arm/Selective Compliance Articulated Robot Arm. As the name suggests, SCARAs are specially articulated robots that come with rotational joins. They are mechanically compliant in the x-and-y-axis and rigid in the z-axis.

Collaborative robots

Collaborative robots or cobots are industrial robots that share their workspace with humans. These robots team up with humans and work on the tasks they are designed for. Since cobots are expected to be around humans, they are designed to be safe.
Cobots use different sensors to make sure they detect unexpected human behavior and operate safely. Sometimes cobots are made to work at a reduced pace and force when a human is nearby. However, even so, they have to maintain their productivity and efficiency to actually be worth using in the industrial space.

 

Application of Industrial Robot

 

Arc welding:Arc welding, or robot welding, became commonplace in the 1980s. One of the driving forces for switching to robot welding is improving the safety of workers from arc burn and inhaling hazardous fumes.

Spot welding:Spot welding joins two contacting metal surfaces by directing a large current through the spot, which melts the metal and forms the weld delivered to the spot in a very short time (approximately ten milliseconds).

Materials handling:Material handling robots are utilized to move, pack and select products. They also can automate functions involved in the transferring of parts from one piece of equipment to another. Direct labor costs are reduced and much of the tedious and hazardous activities traditionally performed by human labor are eliminated.

Machine tending:Robotic automation for machine tending is the process of loading and unloading raw materials into machinery for processing and overseeing the machine while it does a job.

Painting:Robotic painting is used in automotive production and many other industries as it increases the quality and consistency of the product. Cost savings are also realized through less rework.

Picking, packing and palletizing:Most products are handled multiple times prior to final shipping. Robotic picking and packaging increases speed and accuracy along with lowering production costs.

Assembly:Robots routinely assemble products, eliminating tedious and tiresome tasks. Robots increase output and reduce operational costs.

Mechanical cutting, grinding, deburring and polishing:Building dexterity into robots provides a manufacturing option that is otherwise very difficult to automate. An example of this is the production of orthopedic implants, such as knee and hip joints. Buffing and polishing a hip joint by hand can normally take 45-90 minutes while a robot can perform the same function in just a few minutes.

Gluing, adhesive sealing and spraying materials:Sealer robots are built with numerous robotic arm configurations that enable the robot to apply adhesives to any type of product. The primary benefit in this application is increased quality, speed and consistency of the final product.

Other processes:These include inspection, waterjet cutting and soldering robots. 

 

Components of an Industrial Robot

The main components of an industrial robot are Manipulators, End Effectors, Feedback devices, Controllers, and Locomotive devices.

Manipulators

To simply understand what a manipulator is, think of it as the arm of a robot and like a human arm that has several joints. These joints or mechanical linkages are capable of movement in various directions to perform the work of the robot.

These mechanical linkages are driven by actuators which may be pneumatic or hydraulic cylinders, hydraulic rotary actuators, electric motors, drives, etc. The actuators may be coupled directly to the mechanical links or joints or may drive indirectly through gears, chains, or screws. When pneumatic or hydraulic drives are utilized, the flow of air or oil to the actuators is often controlled by valves mounted on the manipulator.

End effectors

This is a device that is attached to the end of a robotic arm to carry out its tasks. Think of it like the palm and fingers of a human hand. The End Effector is the component that moves or orients the product or process. It is used for specialized tasks such as welding, measuring, marking, drilling, cutting, painting, cleaning, and so on.

Feedback devices

These are a class of devices used to monitor an operation or process and then verify the operation or process has occurred. Back to a human body analogy, they are the organs that supply data to the brain (controller).
In a robot, a feedback device could be installed to sense the positions of the various links and joints and transmit this information to the controller. They may be simple limit switches, actuated by the robot's arm or position-measuring devices such as encoders, potentiometers, resolvers, and/or tachometers. Depending on the devices used, the feedback data is either digital or analog.

Controllers

The robot controller is a computer, composed of hardware and software, linked to the robot and essentially functions as its "brain". Controllers have all of the characteristics associated with computers and contain sophisticated decision-making and data storage capabilities. They initiate and terminate the motion of the manipulator through interfaces with the manipulator's control valves and feedback devices, or perform complex arithmetic functions to control path, speed, and position, or provide two-way communications between the controller and ancillary devices.

Locomotive devices

Muscles help in the movement of the arm, fingers, and palm in humans. For the robot, the power of movement is provided by motors. pneumatic, electric, and hydraulic motors are the three most popular types of motors used in robot movement.
