What does an industrial robot do, really? Fear not. The machine doesn’t do everything, acting like a humanoid, such as R2D2 or C3PO. An industrial robot is a robot system used for manufacturing. Industrial robots are automated, programmable, and capable of movement on two or more axes.
Here is a list of what industrial robots actually do —
· Welding,
· Painting,
· Assembly,
· Pick and place for printed circuit boards,
· Packaging and labeling,
· Palletizing,
· Product inspection and testing;
The listed tasks get accomplished with high endurance, speed, and precision. Those are key benefits in manufacturing processes. Industrial robots really help in materials handling. They can also undertake (albeit simplified) interfaces with actual workers and other robots.
