Joint robot is also known as joint manipulator or multi-joint robot. The motion of each joint is rotation, similar to human arm. Joint robot is one of the most common forms of industrial robots in the industrial field today, and it is suitable for mechanical automation in many industrial fields.
Multi-joint robots are classified according to the structure of joint robots, such as automatic assembly, painting, handling, welding and other work. They are classified according to the structure.
1. Five-axis and six-axis joint robots
It has five or six rotation axes, similar to human arms. The application fields include loading, unloading, painting, surface treatment, testing, measuring, arc welding, spot welding, packaging, assembly, chip cutting machine tool, fixing, special assembly operation, forging, casting, etc.
2. Pallet joint robot
Two or four rotating shafts, and positioning locking device of mechanical gripper. Applications include loading, unloading, packaging, special handling operations, pallet transportation, etc.
3. SCARA of planar joint robot
Three parallel axes of rotation and one linear axis. The application fields include loading, unloading, welding, packaging, fixing, coating, painting, bonding, packaging, special handling operations, assembly, etc.
In addition, it can also be classified into many types according to the work nature of joint robots, such as: handling robots, spot welding robots, arc welding robots, paint spraying robots, laser cutting robots, etc.
