When it comes to picking and placing the challenging stuff, a number of industries are turning to one robot type in particular, the Delta. The Delta robot has a unique design that allows it to handle objects delicately, quickly, and precisely.
Daring Delta Robot Design:
The Delta parallel robot is constructed with one rotational and three translational (x, y, z) movements. The arms of the Delta robot are parallelograms, attached with universal joints to a common base, then to one single EOAT platform. Most Delta robots have three parallelogram arms, but some models have four. Each arm is powered by its own motor.
Sweet Delta Moves:
The spider-like arms and general construction of the Delta robots allow them to move with extreme accuracy within a dome-shaped work envelope. They are capable of maintaining extremely low inertia while still reaching high speeds.
The pharmaceutical, food, solar power, and electronic industries appreciate this robot style's rapid transfer capabilities. The Delta-style robot is typically used for pick and place, assembly, and packaging jobs. It is normally installed in an inverted position.
The Birth of the Delta Robot:
Professor Reymond Clavel is credited with inventing and naming the Delta robot in the early 1980s. In 1999, ABB created their Flexpicker IRB 340, which was followed by an updated Flexpicker IRB 360. This particular Delta robot is capable of 150 picks per minute. Another robotics company, Adept, created their own Delta robot, the Adept s650H as well.
Current and Future Delta Robots:
While the Adept and ABB robots are the most common industrial Delta versions right now, this may soon change. For a while, the unique Delta design has remained protected with a series of patents. However, these patents are close to their expiration dates, leaving the door open for new Delta models.

Used robotic welding cells provide companies with the opportunity to modernize production without breaking the bank.
Welding is a critical step in any process. Why not make this important part of your production even more streamlined, speedy, and hazard-free?
Used robotic welding cells offer consistent, high-quality welds. They make your workplace safer by handling all the welding-related hazards - arc glare, fumes, smoke, intense heat. Plus, used robotic welding cells are capable of improving overall throughput.
Custom-Built Workcells:
Used robotic welding cells come in many sizes and shapes. RobotWorx will custom-build a workcell to match your application and floor plan specifications.
Our engineers create systems with a variety of positioners - stationary tables, ferris wheel, headstock/tailstock, rotating tables, etc. They outfit each used robotic welding cell with reconditioned welding robots from your choice of manufacturers, including Motoman, Fanuc, OTC, Panasonic and more. Check out RobotWorx' collection of used robotic welding cells.

It's time for a little summer cleaning!
Old industrial equipment, often the result of product, facility, and application changes or upgrades, not only takes up space, it drains finances. Here's how to clear out your old industrial equipment and make some money in the process.
RobotWorx is always on the lookout for used robotic systems and old industrial equipment. If it meets our standards, we guarantee to beat any other offer by 10%.
How the Process Works:
RobotWorx' Acquisitions Department pays close attention to the condition of the robot manipulator and control cabinet. They refer to photos or visit the facility housing the old industrial equipment to gather more information. We ask that customer supply the following:
- Estimated age of the equipment
- Previous industrial purpose
- Present functionality level
