There are two popular types of industrial welding robots. The two are
articulating robots and rectilinear robots. Robotics
control the movement of a rotating wrist in space. A description of some of these welding robots are described below:
control the movement of a rotating wrist in space. A description of some of these welding robots are described below:
Rectilinear robots move in line in any of three axes (X, Y, Z). In addition to linear movement of the robot along axes there is a wrist attached to the robot to allow rotational movement. This creates a robotic working zone that is box shaped.
Articulating robots employ arms and rotating joints. These robots move like a human arm with a rotating wrist at the end. This creates an irregularly shaped robotic working zone.
