u Articulated Robot
Features
l
Structure: Multi-joint design (typically six axes or
more), highly flexible with a wide range of motion, capable of executing
complex paths.
l
Speed & Load: Suitable for high-speed and
heavy-load operations.
l
Safety: High force and speed require safety fences or
isolation zones.
Application
l
Heavy industrial production, such as automotive
manufacturing, metal welding, painting, and heavy material handling.
l
Ideal for long-term, high-efficiency automated
operations.
u Collaborative Robot (Cobot)
Features
l
Structure: Compact multi-joint design (typically six
or seven axes), small footprint for flexible operation around human workers.
l
Speed & Load: Suitable for low-load, light-duty
tasks.
l
Safety: Built-in collision sensors and torque limits;
virtual boundaries can be set to ensure immediate stop upon human contact.
Application
l
Light industrial and electronics manufacturing,
including electronics assembly, packaging, and machine loading/unloading.
l
Ideal for human-robot collaboration, flexible
production, and multi-task operations.
