Overview

Articulated industrial robots are multi-jointed manipulators used for precision automation in welding, assembly, material handling and machine tending. Their rotary joints provide high dexterity and complex motion in compact footprints, supporting varied payloads and reaches. Often integrated with vision, conveyors and safety cells, these robots deliver repeatable accuracy, fast cycle rates and flexible programming for tasks that require quick changeovers and scalable production in manufacturing environments.

FAQ

What should I check when buying a used articulated robot?

Verify payload capacity, reach, degrees of freedom, controller model and firmware, total operating hours/cycle counts, maintenance and crash history, condition of servomotors and gearboxes, availability of the teach pendant and software licenses, and end-effector compatibility.

How should an articulated robot be shipped and prepared for transport?

Secure joints and arm positions, remove or brace delicate end-effectors, disconnect and label cables, use a certified crate or frame with vibration protection, work with experienced riggers and provide required export/import documents.

What routine maintenance is required for articulated robots?

Follow manufacturer schedules: inspect and lubricate gearboxes and bearings, check encoder and cable integrity, verify safety stops and limits, update controller backups and firmware, perform periodic calibration and replace worn components as needed.
