It should be pointed out that the small assembly robot mentioned here refers to a robot with a maximum payload of up to 20kg (44 pounds) and a maximum processing distance of up to 1300mm (51 inches). There are two basic types of such robots: four-axis SCARA robots, that is, four-axis robots, and six-axis articulated robots, that is, six-axis robots. Among them, four-axis robots are specially designed for fast picking work, while six-axis robots provide higher flexibility in production and processing movements. Then let's introduce four-axis robots and six-axis robots in detail.

1. Four-axis robot

In small assembly robots, "four-axis SCARA robot" refers to "selective assembly joint robot arm", that is, the arm part of the four-axis robot can move arbitrarily in a geometric plane.

The first two joints of the SCARA robot can rotate left and right arbitrarily in the horizontal plane. The third joint consists of a metal rod called a quill and a gripper. The metal rod can move up and down in the vertical plane or rotate around its vertical axis, but it cannot tilt.

Such a unique design gives four-axis robots strong rigidity, which enables them to perform fast and highly repetitive tasks. In the field of packaging applications, four-axis robots are good at fast picking and other material handling tasks.

2. Six-axis robots

Six-axis robots have two more joints than four-axis robots, so they have more "freedom of action".

The first joint of the six-axis robot can rotate arbitrarily in the horizontal plane like a four-axis robot, and the last two joints can move in the vertical plane. In addition, the six-axis robot has an "arm" and two "wrist" joints, which gives it similar capabilities to people's arms and wrists.

The more joints of the six-axis robot indicate that they can pick up objects in any direction on the horizontal plane and put them into the packaged products at a special angle. They can also perform many operations that can only be performed by skilled workers.

The above is the knowledge related to four-axis robots and six-axis robots. Through the above introduction, it can be seen that there are still great differences between four-axis robots and six-axis robots. If you need robot equipment, you need to choose robot equipment with the corresponding number of axes according to the needs of your company.
