Robot Specifications

This document discusses the key specifications for industrial robots. It outlines seven important specifications: 1) axes and degrees of movement, 2) motion range and limits, 3) motion speed in degrees per second, 4) repeatability in millimeters, 5) payload weight capacity, 6) robot mass or weight, and 7) vertical and horizontal reach distances. The specifications determine the flexibility, accuracy, and work envelope of each robot model.

EC368 ROBOTICS

3. Robot specifications
Robot Specifications:
Axes - The individual segments of each robot manipulator
are connected with mechanical joints - each serves as an
axis of movement. The most common industrial robots
have six axes of movement. The number and placement of
axes determines the flexibility of each model. 
Robot Motion Range - Much like the joints between bones,
robot axes have limits to each movement. Every axis has a
specific scope of motion. On a typical specifications sheet,
the degree of movement shows up as positive or negative
degree of movement from the center base position of each
axis. 
Robot Motion Speed - Each axis moves at a different speed.
They are listed as degrees traveled per second. Focus on
this criterion when you need to match certain speed
specifications for your application. 
Repeatability - Industrial robots are known for their
accuracy. But this ability to return to an exact location again
and again, known as a robot's repeatability, can vary with
each model. More precision-driven applications will require
tighter repeatability figures. Repeatability is listed as a
millimeter of alteration plus or minus from the point.
Payload - The weight capacity of each robot manipulator is
its payload. This is a critical specification and includes the
tooling weight as well. You can rule out a number of robots
with this robot specification category alone. 
Robot Mass - Every robot has a specific weight or mass.
This number only indicates how much the robot
manipulator weighs. It does not include the weight of the
robot's controller. This specification may not be quite as
important unless you are trying to install your robot on a
table or shelf.
Vertical Reach - How high can the robot go? A robot's
vertical reach specification refers to the height of the robot
when it extends upwards from the base. Use this to
determine whether or not a model is tall enough for your
application and location.
 
Horizontal Reach - How far can a robot reach? The
horizontal reach measures the distance of the fully
extended arm - from the base to the wrist. Some
applications will require a wider work envelope with a big
reach, others are satisfied with a contained, short
horizontal reach. 
Structure - Robots are engineered with different
structures. The most common by far is the vertical
articulated type, sometimes called a vertical jointed-arm
robot. Other structure types include SCARA, Cartesian, and
parallel kinematic robots.
