Choosing to Automate with Industrial Robotics

So, you want to buy an indus­tri­al robot. Not sure where to start? That’s okay. Let’s take this one step at a time.

An indus­tri­al robot is a robot that is used in an indus­tri­al mar­ket to per­form appli­ca­tions like weld­ing, mate­r­i­al han­dling, dis­pens­ing and mate­r­i­al removal process­es. These robots can take the form of the com­mon six-axis sin­gle robot­ic arm, the dual-armed indus­tri­al robot­ic sys­tem, the invert­ed gantry mod­el, the small­er table­top robot, or even the spi­der-like delta-style robot. Each indus­tri­al robot sys­tem can be used for a vari­ety of dif­fer­ent pur­pos­es, mak­ing them very ver­sa­tile in a work space.

Once you decide on which indus­tri­al robot you are going to use on your pro­duc­tion line, you need to start con­sid­er­ing what you want your robot to do. Some­times, a pro­duc­tion line has to be trans­lat­ed into robot­ic move­ments, instead of human move­ments, for it to be suc­cess­ful. If the pro­duc­tion line isn’t prop­er­ly planned, you may not get the boost in pro­duc­tiv­i­ty that you are look­ing for with your robot.

Seem like a lot to think about it? It real­ly is, and that is why there are robot­ics inte­gra­tors like Robots​.com avail­able to help you plan every­thing out. Robots​.com is a lead­ing inte­gra­tor for some of the roboticsindustry’s top com­pa­nies – includ­ing Fanuc, Motoman, KUKA, Uni­ver­sal Robots, and ABB. Our staff will help you plan out every step for your indus­tri­al robot sys­tem. We will lis­ten to exact­ly what you want your robot to do, and then we will con­tact ven­dors and get you all of the prop­er dress pack­ages, fea­tures, end of arm tool­ing and oth­er parts nec­es­sary to make your sys­tem come to life.
