Manufacturing Robots Mr. Capella Lafayette High School
Cartesian Robot • It's a robot whose arm has three prismatic joints, whose axes are coincident with a Cartesian coordinator
Cartesian Robots • Cartesian robots also come in smaller sizes to perform operations on parts in the manufacturing process
Cylinderical Robot • It's a robot whose axes form a cylindrical coordinate system
Cylindrical Robot • Cylindrical robot in action
Spherical Robot • This robot uses a circular rotation of the robot arm and an in and out telescoping feature.
Scara Robot • Used for pick and place work, application of sealant, assembly operations and handling machine tools • It's a robot which has two parallel rotary joints to provide compliance in a plane
Scara Robot • Scara robots are well suited for stacking a single pallet where space is limited • A major "arm" is mounted such that the whole mechanism can move vertically • This arm is also capable of rotational movement
Articulated Robot • The articulating arm robot is perhaps the most widely used and flexible type of robot • It is capable of a wide range of motion and reach
Robots at Work • One of the main purposes for robots in today’s industry is to perform tasks that might be hazardous or tedious for human employees to accomplish • Also the are able to work long hours with minimal mistakes
Robots at Work • Welding or cutting
Robots at Work • Painting
