TYPES OF ROBOTS
Cartesian Robot
SCARA Robot
Articulated Robot
Polar Robot
CARTESIAN / GANTRY ROBOT:
Used for pick and place work,
application of sealant, assembly
operations, handling machine tools and arc
welding.
Consists of three sliding joints, two of
which are orthogonal
Other names include rectilinear robot
and x-y-z robot
SCARA ROBOTS
SCARA stands for Selectively
Compliant Assembly Robot Arm.
The vertical axes are used for shoulder
and elbow joints to be compliant in
horizontal direction for vertical insertion
tasks.
Used for pick and place work,
application of sealant, assembly operations
and handling machine tools. It's a robot
which has two parallel rotary joints to
provide compliance in a plane.
ARTICULATED ROBOTS:
Used for assembly operations, diecasting,
fettling machines, gas welding, arc welding and
spray painting. It's a robot whose arm has at
least three rotary joints.
SPHERICAL/POLAR
ROBOT:
Used for handling at machine tools,
spot welding, diecasting, fettling machines,
gas welding and arc welding. It's a robot whose
axes form a polar coordinate system.
ROBOT PARTS
An industrial robot includes these main parts:
•Controller
•Arm
•End Effectors
•Drive
•Sensor
CONTROLLER
Brain of the robot
Works as a computer
Connects robots with other systems
Runs a set of instructions written in code
called a program
ROBOT ARMS
Vary in shape and size
Positions the end effectors
END EFFECTORS
Functions as a hand
Connects to the robot’s arm
DRIVE
Engine or motor
Moves the links into designated positions
SENSORS
Allows the robot to receive feed back
Collects the informatjon and sends electronically
to the controller
Assist end effectors in part variances
ROBOT APPLICATIONS
Need to replace human labour by robots:
Work environment hazardous for human beings
Repetitive tasks
Boring and unpleasant tasks
Multi shift operations
Infrequent changeovers
Performing at a steady pace
Operating for long hours without rest
ROBOTS ARC-WELDING CELL
Robot performs flux-
cored arc welding
(FCAW) operation at
one workstation while
fitter changes parts at
the other workstation
Nuclear Industry
In the nuclear industry, teleoperators have
been well-utilized in the maintenance role for
more than 4
decades. Several features of maintenance make
it a good application for teleoperators in this
arena.
First is the low frequency of the
operation, which calls for a general-purpose
system capable of
doing an array of maintenance tasks.
Second, maintenance and repair require high
levels of dexterity.
Third, the complexity of these tasks may be
unpredictable because of the uncertain impact
of a failure
For these reasons, the choice for this role
is often between a human and a teleoperator.
AIRCRAFT SERVICING
Aircraft servicing applications may benefit
from robotic maintenance in several
areas. The size of
modern multi-engine jets makes inspection
and coating removal and application
particularly attractive
in terms of improving quality and
efficiency
RAILROAD INDUSTRY
The railroad industry has recognized the
economic benefits of automation, which has
lead to the development of a number of robotic
solutions to maintenance and repair applications in
the industry.
The railway maintenance shops are the most
common location of robots, which perform
activities such as welding, grinding, cleaning, and
painting
ROBOTS IN AUTOMOBILE INDUSTRIES
In the automobile industry, robotic arms
are used in diverse manufacturing
processes including assembly, spot
welding, etc. Robots have proved to help
automakers to be more agile, flexible and
to reduce production lead times.
World wide car production
Automotive market world wide
Die Casting Automation
Cleaning
Extraction
Spraying
Insertion
POWER SOURCES
THE POWER SOURCES USED IN CURRENT ROBOTS
ARE:
ELECTRIC : All robots use electricity as the primary source
of energy. No energy conversion is required.
PNEUMATIC : These are generally found in relatively low-
cost manipulators with low load carrying capacity.
HYDRAULIC :The high power-to-weight ratio makes the
hydraulic actuator an attractive choice for moving moderate
to high loads at reasonable speeds and moderate noise level.
CONCLUSION
Thus we would like to conclude by saying that , as a
mechatronics students we have a vital role in the field of
industrial automation . The best way of automating
industries is using robotics.
