Description
3.1.1
Areas of application
The robot is used when simple motion sequences with high repeat accuracy and high
speeds are required.
Typical areas of application include fast pick and place applications.
3.1.2
Structure
The robot consists of robot arms, a tool mounted to the arms, drives and a controller.

Software
The robot arms and drives are mounted in a base frame. The joint axes are driven by
motors, enabling the arms to move. The arms can reach very high speeds and dynam-
ics.
The tool mounted to the arms (e.g. gripper) handles the workpieces. The movement of
the tool in XZ or XYZ direction as well as rotation or inclination (optional) are per-
formed via the coordinated control of all motors.
Due to the visualization of the robot on a monitor, it is easier to have direct control and
to work with the robot.
After programming, the robot can perform a workflow autonomously or vary the per-
formance of the task within certain limits, depending on sensor information.
3.1.3
Designs
Stand-alone
With stand-alone robots, the energy supply and the controller are installed in a control
cabinet at a suitable location near the robot.
