Types of Industrial Robots
Industrial robots are categorized based on their structure, movement capabilities, and application areas. Below is a classification of the most commonly used industrial robots:
| Robot Type | Key Features | Common Applications |
|---|---|---|
| Articulated Robots | Multiple rotary joints, high flexibility | Welding, assembly, material handling |
| SCARA Robots | Rigid in vertical axis, flexible in horizontal plane | Assembly, pick-and-place tasks |
| Cartesian Robots | Linear movements along XYZ axes | CNC machinery, 3D printing |
| Delta Robots | High-speed parallel motion, low payload | Food packaging, pharmaceuticals |
