What are the main reasons why six-axis robots are very popular in major factories?

Articulated robots are also generally called six-axis robots . Six-axis robot arms are increasingly considered to be a good choice. They can only load unload materials for machining, but also perform auxiliary operations related to blow molding, thermoforming reinforced plastic processes.

  The reason why six-axis robots are popular in the market major factories comes many factors, only the external factors of the six-axis robot, but also its internal factors, that is, it can perform high-precision high-speed operations in the operation, which is also the requirement guarantee for product quality in the production process of many factories.

Six-axis robotic arms are able to move objects at the end of their arms one position to another by using multiple arms with rolling joints. This articulated movement has been described as "anthropomorphic," meaning that these robots exhibit human characteristics, particularly movements of the arms wrists.

1. Reasons why six-axis manipulators are popular

1. Wide range of operation

The second reason why the six-axis manipulator is popular is the particularity of its structure tools. Since the operating tools of the six-axis manipulator can be replaced according to demand, the six-axis manipulator can meet the production needs of more products, whether it is the production of small parts large machinery, as long as the operating tools of the manipulator are replaced, the production needs can be met.

2. High degree of automation

Automation is the development direction of future production processing. The degree of automation of the six-axis manipulator is the highest among the current manipulators. The high degree of automation has become the choice of many advanced equipment manufacturers. In order to meet the needs of automated assembly lines in their own factories, the six-axis manipulator just meets the high automation needs naturally becomes the product of choice for these factories.

3. Suitable for harsh environments

The six-axis manipulator stamping manipulator were invented to replace meaningless repetitive manual work. At the same time, they were also invented to be able to operate in environments that are unacceptable to humans. The six-axis manipulator can continue to operate in many thin-air even high-temperature environments. It can also extend its own maintenance cycle to prevent the progress of the construction period being affected by maintenance.

The number of axes of welding robots is different. There are four-axis, five-axis, six-axis. The so-called axes of industrial robots can be explained by the professional term "freedom". It is reasonable to speculate that when the number of axes of the robot increases, the robot will have higher flexibility. Compared with the four-axis robot the six-axis articulated robot, the four-axis robot is specially designed for high-speed pick--place operations, while the six-axis robot provides higher production movement flexibility.

A six-axis robot has two more joints than a four-axis robot, so it has more "freedom of movement".

The first joint of the six-axis manipulator can rotate freely in the horizontal plane like a four-axis manipulator, the last two joints can move in the vertical plane. In addition, the six-axis manipulator has an "arm" two "wrist" joints, which gives it the ability to have human arms wrists.

The additional joints of six-axis robots mean they can pick up parts oriented in any horizontal direction place them into packaged products at a specific angle. They can also perform many operations that can only be done by skilled workers.

The six-axis robot arm is driven by six groups of motors in different positions. Each motor can provide rotational motion around an axis. The positions can be seen in the figure below. the concept of freedom, the six-axis robot arm has met the six degrees of freedom in three-dimensional space. Theoretically, its end can reach any position angle in space, but why does the robot arm still get stuck sometimes? This is because the six-axis robot arm has some peculiarities.

When the robot arm performs a linear motion mode, the system has calculated the arm posture in advance. If it encounters a strange point during the motion, the robot arm will get stuck skip, which will cause considerable headaches. However, if the strange point is understood, the task can be completed smoothly before the drug is finished.
