Example of a Robot

• Cartesian robot /Gantry robot
• Used for pick and place work, application of
  sealant, assembly operations, handling machine
  tools and arc welding. It's a robot whose arm has
  three prismatic joints, whose axes are coincident
  with a Cartesian coordinator

Example of a Robot

• Cylindrical robot
• Used for assembly operations, handling at machine
  tools, spot welding, and handling at diecasting
  machines. It's a robot whose axes form a
  cylindrical coordinate system.

Example of a Robot

• Spherical/Polar robot
• Used for handling at machine tools, spot welding,
  diecasting, fettling machines, gas welding and
  arc welding. It's a robot whose axes form a polar
  coordinate system.

Example of a Robot

• SCARA robot
• Used for pick and place work, application of
  sealant, assembly operations and handling machine
  tools. It's a robot which has two parallel rotary
  joints to provide compliance in a plane.

Example of a Robot

• Articulated robot
• for assembly operations, diecasting, fettling
  machines, gas welding, arc welding and spray
  painting. It's a robot whose arm has at least
  three rotary joints.

Why I Chose This Robot

• It has many components to learn about
• It meets all the requirements of the project
• It looks like fun to build
