1. Industrial robots are divided into four types according to the movement form of the arm.
The Cartesian arm can move along three Cartesian coordinates; The arm of the cylindrical coordinate type can be lifted, rotated and telescopic; Spherical arms can be rotated, pitched and telescopic; Articulated arms have multiple rotating joints.
2. According to the control function of the actuator movement, the industrial robot can be divided into point type and continuous trajectory type.
The point type only controls the accurate positioning of the actuator from one point to another, and is suitable for machine tool loading and unloading, spot welding, general handling, loading and unloading, etc.; The continuous trajectory type can control the actuator to move according to a given trajectory, which is suitable for continuous welding and painting.
3. According to the program input mode, industrial robots are divided into two types: programming input type and teaching input type.
The programming input type is to transfer the program file that has been programmed on the computer to the robot control cabinet through RS-232 serial port or Ethernet communication mode.
There are two teaching methods of teaching input type: one is that the operator uses a manual controller (teaching control box) to transmit the command signal to the drive system, so that the actuator can perform the action sequence and movement trajectory according to the requirements; The other is that the operator directly leads the actuator and performs it according to the required action sequence and movement trajectory.
At the same time of the teaching process, the information of the working program is automatically stored in the program memory, when the robot works automatically, the control system detects the corresponding information from the program memory, and transmits the command signal to the driving mechanism, so that the actuator reproduces the various actions of the teaching. An industrial robot that teaches the input program is called a teach-in reproducible industrial robot.

Universal Robots – a common fault with welding robots
1. Welding deviation problem: it may be that the welding position is incorrect or there is a problem when looking for the welding gun. In this case, it is necessary to consider whether the TCP (welding torch center point position) is accurate and adjust it. If this situation occurs frequently, it is necessary to check the zero position of each axis of the robot, and re-calibrate it to repair.
