![]() ![]() Both robot models are rather tight to a specific use case.įinally, type EXOTIC robots - there one finds different concepts like mobile industrial robots of various kinds and some very interesting bio-inspired robots. Scara robots are designed like a human arm but with movement limited to the horizontal plane only. Type LIMITED robots comprise fast pick-and-place models, that are sometimes called ‘spider’ or delta robots and Scara-models (Selective Compliance Assembly Robot Arm). Robots of type COOP became quite prominent recently as they enable an easier integration into the production facilities, as they usually don’t require fences for safety reasons, and allow an alongside operation with their human colleagues. The yearly Hannover Industry Fair usually gives a good overview about the robotics market and this year HEAVY and COOP have been omnipresent. Since their application possibilities are constantly being expanded they are used everywhere as long as the benefit of automating is higher than the efforts and costs of buying, installing and programming the robot.Īt present, there are basically four types of industrial robots: heavy single-armed robots (we can call them HEAVY), collaborative one-armed or two-armed robots ( COOP), robots with limited capabilities for dedicated use cases ( LIMITED), and the exotic ones ( EXOTIC). In the last years, they became general-purpose tools for automating production processes. The combination of strength, speed and extreme precision is nothing else than impressive. ![]() If you ever have the chance to enter a factory shop floor and see a robot in action, this is a must-do. ![]()
