Modularity
Modular 1 to 8 axis Robots
1
1-axis robot
- 1 rotary axis
- Positions in a plane with fixed radius around the drive module
- Possible application: Driving a camera to a part inspection
2
2-axis robot
- Translational movements within a flat work surface
- All positions within the flat work area can be reached, but the orientation of the end effector cannot be retained
- Possible application: Contactless dispensing, in which the height of the end effector is set to a fixed position
3
3-axis robot
- Translational movements within a flat working area with precise orientation of the end effector
- All positions within a flat working area with precise orientation of the end effector
- Possible application: Contactless dispensing, in which the exact orientation of the end effector plays a decisive role
4
4-axis robot
- Precise control of any Cartesian position in a flat working area without maintaining the orientation of the end effector
- Flexible solution for tasks where the position in space is decisive but the orientation of the end effector is not critical
- Possible application: Pick & place rotationally symmetrical parts in a flat working plane
5
5-axis robot
- Precise control of any Cartesian position in a flat working area while maintaining the orientation of the end effector
- Enables precise control and safe positioning of the end effector
- Possible application: palletizing boxes on a flat working plane
6
6-axis robot
- Precise control of any point in the Cartesian working space with any orientation of the end effector
- Flexibility to carry out complex scenarios, such as removing parts at unusual angles, with maximum accuracy
- Possible application: removal of square parts in an inclined plane
7
7-axis robot
- Has one degree of freedom more than actual degrees of freedom are available in space
- Allows you to reach points and exact orientations in the work area with variable elbow positions
- Particularly beneficial when there are obstacles in the work area that potentially block the way
8
8-axis robot
- Has two degrees of freedom more than actual degrees of freedom are available in space
- Gives the robot remarkable flexibility to precisely reach points and exact orientations in the work area by varying the elbow positions
- It is particularly useful when the work area is very tight or there are multiple obstacles that can block the path
- The 8th degree of freedom makes the robot extremely versatile and adaptable, which is particularly valuable in complex environments
