Today robots have become inevitable cornerstones of industrial production plants. Robots realized with the help of hydraulic, pneumatic, electrical and various motor systems find use in various industrial fields. In this article, we’ll answer to such questions as what 3-axis robots are, how do they function and what are their application fields.
Industrial robots can be programmed via software. One can mention a robotic system comprised of from a few components to a far more complex system. By reducing human labor to minimum levels, industrial robots generate economical advantages due to both error level minimization in production and production rate increase. 3-axis cartesian robots as one of the fundamental subcategory of industrial robots are frequently deployed in the production sector.
3-Axis cartesian robots move on a linear path along with X, Y, and Z axis. Generally, they are equipped with gripping and transfer abilities. It is easy for them to reach to certain positions in a limited space. Because of being mechanically rigid, 3-axis cartesian robots are the ideal industrial robots in order to grip and transfer big and heavy objects. Cartesian robots based on the shape of the part hold the product via vacuum pad or gripper and then realize part insertion and product sorting.
Operation Principles of 3-Axis Cartesian Robots
It is possible to sort products fed from the production line input or from the production output in the desired amount by categorization and transfer to the following stage with the help of 3-axis cartesian robotic system. Cartesian robots can hold products either with vacuum pads or with grippers, transfer and place them into or on top of a single or multi layer manner simultaneously. In addition, they enable advancement of products whise insertion or sorting are completed for the following cycles.
Application Areas of 3-Axis Cartesian Robots
3-Axis cartesian robots are employed in production lines of various sectors. Frequently, such robots are specifically preferred in part production via plastic injection molding. 3-axis cartesian robots finds wide spread use in many sectors such as food packaging, plastics households, disposable cutlery, automotive, electrics/electronics, and home appliances.
