What Are the Main Types of Industrial Robots?
In modern manufacturing, industrial robots come in various designs and configurations to suit different production needs. Each type offers unique advantages in speed, precision, and flexibility. Below are the 6 most common types of industrial robots used across industries such as automotive, electronics, food & beverage, and logistics.
- Articulated Robot: An articulated robot features rotary joints (typically 4 to 6 axes) that mimic the movement of a human arm. Its flexibility allows it to reach around obstacles and perform complex, multi-directional tasks.
- SCARA Robot: SCARA robots are designed for high-speed operations within a horizontal plane, combining rigidity in the vertical axis with flexibility in the horizontal direction.
- Cartesian Robot: Also known as linear robots, Cartesian robots operate along three perpendicular axes (X, Y, and Z). They provide linear motion and are easy to program and integrate.
- Delta Robot: Delta robots consist of three lightweight arms connected to a base, working in parallel to move quickly and precisely.
- Collaborative Robot: Collaborative robots, or cobots, are designed to work safely alongside humans without physical barriers.
- Gantry Robot: Gantry robots move along a fixed frame structure and are capable of handling large payloads across a wide working area.
