Because of the different end-operating tools, Cartesian Coordinate Robot can be very conveniently used as a variety of automation equipment, to complete a series of work, such as welding, handling, loading and unloading, packaging, palletizing, depalletizing, testing, inspection, sorting, assembling, labeling, spraying, marking, spraying, (soft imitation) spraying, target followers, detonation and so on. Especially suitable for multi-species, then batch of flexible operations, for stability, improve product quality, improve labor productivity, improve labor conditions and rapid product replacement has a very important role.
The common application of this type of robot is computer numerical control machine (CNC machine) and 3D printing. The simplest applications are for milling and drawing machines, where a pen or milling cutter translates in the x-y plane while the tool is raised and lowered onto the surface to produce an accurate design. Pick-and-place machines and plotters are also based on the workings of Cartesian-type robots.
Categorization of Cartesian Coordinate Robots:
1, according to the use of: welding robots, palletizing robots, gluing (dispensing) robots, testing (monitoring) robots, sorting (sorting) robots, assembly robots, explosive detonation robots, medical robots, special robots and so on.
2, according to the structure of the form: wall-mounted (cantilever) robots, gantry robots, inverted robots, etc.;
3, according to the degree of freedom: two-coordinate robot, three-coordinate robot, four-coordinate robot, five-coordinate robot, six-coordinate robot.
Right-angle coordinate robot refers to the industrial applications, can realize automatic control, repeatable programming, the degree of freedom of motion contains only three-dimensional space orthogonal translation automation equipment. The various axes of motion usually correspond to the X, Y, and Z axes in a Cartesian coordinate systemThe X and Y axes are axes of motion in the horizontal planeThe Z axis is an up and down axis of motion. In some applications there is a rotary axis on the Z-axis or an oscillating axis and a rotary axis. In the vast majority of cases the angle between the individual linear axes of motion of a Cartesian Coordinate Robot is a right angle. A Cartesian Coordinate Robot is an automated device for industrial applications that can be automatically controlled, reprogrammable, and has degrees of freedom of motion consisting of only orthogonal translations in three dimensions. Its components include linear motion axes, drive systems for the motion axes, control systems, and end devices. It can be applied in multiple fields, and has the advantages of oversized travel and strong combination capability.
