The role of the six axes of the six-axis robot

In the production of industrial robots, it is generally necessary to equip peripheral equipment in addition to its own performance characteristics, such as the rotary table for rotating the workpiece, the mobile table for moving the workpiece, etc. The motion and position control of these peripheral devices need to be matched with the industrial robot and require corresponding accuracy. Generally, the robot motion axis can be divided into robot axis, base axis and tooling axis according to its function. The base axis and tooling axis are collectively referred to as external axis.


Six axis industrial robot is commonly used in the actual production of six joint industrial robot, six axis mechanical arm, six joint manipulator, six axis mechanical arm, robot arm and so on are its name, industrial robot generally refers to four axis, five axis, six axis manipulator. The joint structure of each robot will be different, the following editor of ADTECH six-axis robot manufacturer will explain to you which six axes of the six-axis robot is, and what is the role of each axis?

The first axis body rotation shaft, it is the part connecting the base, is the industrial robot bearing larger axis, can rotate around the action, similar to the action of the mill, it carries the weight of the whole robot and the robot around the level of large swing.


The second axis of the main arm swing back and forth axis is the core connection position of the robot parts, connecting the use of the upper and lower, control the robot swing back and forth, an important axis.


The third axis of the three axis is a axis to control the robot swing back and forth. The three axes and two axes have similar action functions, which also control the robot swing function of loading and unloading. The action of the three axis position is relatively small, but this is also the basis of the six-axis robot arm span.


The fourth axis is the part of the tube axis position on the industrial robot, which can rotate freely. It is the rotation of a cylinder only limited by a cable inside. The fourth axis is the axis that controls the 180° free rotation of the upper arm, which is equivalent to the forearm of a human.


The fifth axis is very important, when you almost adjust the position, you have to accurately locate to the product, it is necessary to use the fifth axis, this position is quite the wrist joint of the human arm, can move up and down a small range, is the product grasp can make the product or fixed tool flip action.


The sixth axis ends in the rotation axis, is at the back of the fine-tuning position of the joint; Once you have positioned the fifth axis on the product, you need to make some minor changes to the sixth axis, which is equivalent to a turntable that can rotate 360 degrees horizontally. Can be more accurate positioning to the product.
