- The industrial robot is a multi-axis machine that can hold various modules (called end-effectors) for performing different tasks such as welding and cutting. These tasks can be done in repetition (through the proper programming of the industrial robot's microcontroller) and with precision (based on the robot's repeatability, which is a measure of how far the robot deviates from a certain position when going there multiple times). The volume in which the robotic arm can travel is called the working envelope (rear of robot is typically restricted), and the axes of rotation are called degrees of freedom (6 or more for higher-end flexibility). A versatile industrial robot can significantly improve the accuracy, precision, and completion times of multiple production tasks while reducing the need for operator involvement.
- The movement of the industrial robot can be established in 2 ways:
- Teaching:
- Control signals from the Enhanced Machine Controller 2 (EMC2) (EMC2 itself imports gcode that can be exported from various computer-aided manufacturing programs)
