6 Axes of an Industrial Robot
Articulated robots allow for precise movement to any point within the space of the working envelope:
- Axis 1 – Rotates robot (at the base of the robot)
- Axis 2 – Forward/back extension of robot’s lower arm
- Axis 3 – Raises / lowers robot’s upper arm
- Axis 4 – Rotates the robot’s upper arm (wrist roll)
- Axis 5 – Raises / lowers wrist of robot’s arm
- Axis 6 – Rotates the wrist of the robot’s arm
6-Axis Robot Sensors
Industrial robots have sensors to help them function optimally with maximum precision. The most commonly used sensors for 6-axis robots include collision detection sensors, force/torque sensors, and two-dimensional and three-dimensional visual sensors.
