In the production, industrial robots generally need to be equipped with peripheral equipment in addition to their own performance characteristics, such as a rotary table for rotating workpieces, moving tables for moving workpieces, etc. The motion and position control of these peripherals need to be coordinated with industrial robots and require corresponding precision. Generally, the robot motion axis can be divided into robot axis, base axis and tooling axis according to its function, and the base axis and tooling axis are collectively referred to as external axes.
Six-axis industrial robot is a 6-joint industrial robot commonly used in actual production, six-axis robotic arm, six-joint manipulator, six-axis robotic arm, robotic arm, etc. are its name, industrial robots generally refer to four-axis, five-axis, six-axis manipulator. The joint structure of each robot will be different, and the following will explain to you which six axes the six-axis robot is and what they do:
The first axis: the body rotation axis, which is the part that connects the base, is the large axis of the industrial robot, which can rotate left and right, similar to the action mode of grinding disc, it carries the weight of the whole robot and the large swing of the left and right levels of the robot.
The second axis: the forward and backward swing axis of the main arm is the core connection position of the robot components, which is an important axis to control the front and rear swing and telescopic of the robot.
The third axis: the three axes are the one axis that controls the robot to swing back and forth, the action functions of the three axes and the two axes are similar, and it is also the function of controlling the robot loading and unloading swing, and the action of the three-axis position is relatively small, but this is also the basis for the arm span of the six-axis robot.
The fourth axis: it is the part of the position of the circular tube shaft on the industrial robot, which can be rotated freely, that is, the rotation of a cylinder is just a restriction of more cables, and the four axes are an axis that controls the 180° free rotation of the upper arm part, which is equivalent to a human small arm.
The fifth axis: the fifth axis is very important, when you almost adjust the position, you have to accurately position the product, you need to use the fifth axis, this position is quite the wrist joint in the human arm, you can move up and down a small amplitude, is the product can be grabbed after the product or fixed tools to flip the action,.
Sixth axis: the end rotation axis, which is the joint that makes the fine adjustment position at the back; Once you have positioned the fifth axis on the product and need some minor changes, you need to use the sixth axis, which is equivalent to a turntable that can rotate horizontally 360°. Products can be positioned more precisely.
