6-axis robots are industrial robots capable of moving in six different directions, known as “6 Degrees of Freedom.” This includes movement along the X, Y, and Z axes, as well as rotation around these axes (Roll, Pitch, Yaw). This capability allows the robots to mimic the movements of a human arm with high precision.
Structure of a 6-Axis Robot :
1. Base: The foundation attached to the floor or workbench, serving as the starting point for movement.
2. Axis 1: Rotates the robot’s base horizontally.
3. Axis 2: Raises or lowers the robot’s arm vertically.
4. Axis 3: Extends or retracts the robot’s arm forward and backward.
5. Axis 4: Rotates the robot’s wrist horizontally.
6. Axis 5: Tilts the robot’s wrist up or down.
7. Axis 6: Rotates the robot’s wrist around its axis.
Benefits and Applications :
6-axis robots offer high flexibility and can perform complex tasks such as welding, assembly, painting, packaging, and material handling. Their compact design allows them to operate in confined spaces.
