What Is A 6 Axis Robot?

Industrial robot is a kind of automation equipment, mechanical arm is a kind of industrial robot, and industrial robot also has other forms. Although the meanings of the two are different, the content of the reference has overlapping parts. So to put it simply, there are many forms of industrial robots, and the robotic arm is just one of them.

What is a robotic arm?

The mechanical arm is a mechanical device, which can be automatic or human-controlled. It refers to a complex system with high precision, multiple input and multiple output, high nonlinearity, and strong coupling. Because of its unique operational flexibility, it has been used in industry It is widely used in assembly, safety explosion-proof and other fields.

The manipulator is a complex system with uncertainties such as parameter perturbation, external disturbance and unmodeled dynamics. Therefore, there are uncertainties in the modeling model of the manipulator. For different tasks, it is necessary to plan the motion trajectory of the joint space of the manipulator, so as to cascade to form the terminal pose.

What is a six-axis robotic arm?

Six-axis robots generally have six degrees of freedom. Common six-axis robots include rotation (S axis), lower arm (L axis), upper arm (U axis), wrist rotation (R axis), wrist swing (B axis) and wrist Swivel (T-axis). The synthesis of six joints realizes the six-degree-of-freedom movement of the end.

The characteristics of the six-axis robotic arm mainly include the following aspects:

1) Programmable: The biggest feature of the six-axis robotic arm is flexible activation. It can be reprogrammed with changes in its working environment and workpieces. It is suitable for the application of small-batch, multi-variety, balanced and high-efficiency flexible manufacturing lines.

2) Anthropomorphic: The six-axis robotic arm combines the characteristics of the robotic arm and humans. The structural design of the six-axis robotic arm enables it to have some functions such as human-like walking and waist rotation; its sensors improve its ability to adapt to the surrounding environment.

3) Versatility: Generally, the six-axis robotic arm has better versatility than other special-purpose robotic arms when performing different tasks.

4) Mechatronics: The six-axis robotic arm is a combination of mechanics and microelectronics. The robotic arm has various sensors to obtain external environmental information, and also has artificial intelligence such as memory ability, language understanding ability, image recognition ability, reasoning judgment ability, etc. These are the applications of microelectronics technology, especially the application of computer technology.
