Robot System (5150)
The precision-built, articulated arm of the Robot represents an important step in automation and handling.
A stepper motor, located in the base of the unit, provides horizontal rotation while five additional stepper motors, located in the shoulder, provide precision movements of the articulations and end effector.
The Robot has five axes of rotation plus a gripper and is able to use all joints simultaneously to perform a programmed move sequence.
Each articulation can be controlled and moved independently. Movements of the joints are accomplished by belts through a series of gears, while the gripper mechanism is activated by cables and belt-driven pulleys.
