6-axis/4-axis robot handling

4-axis/6-axis robot
The reason why small assembly robots are favored by more and more packaging companies is that they can now be competent for various packaging production tasks including assembly, including the processing of all materials, such as picking and placing, loading and unloading, packaging forming and other packaging front-end Process-related procedures, as well as processing procedures such as labeling, inspection, and sampling.
There are two basic types of such robots: four-axis SCARA robots (hereinafter referred to as four-axis robots) and six-axis articulated robots (hereinafter referred to as six-axis robots). Among them, the four-axis robot is specially designed for high-speed pick-and-place operations, while the six-axis robot provides higher production movement flexibility. Four-axis robot, also known as SCARA robot arm, has a simple structure, low cost and high reliability. Purpose: to provide a four-axis SCARA robot with low cost, easy installation and maintenance, and strong operability. Function: Sorting, grabbing, handling, packaging objects. SCARA robots are also widely used in the plastics industry, the automotive industry, the electronics industry, the pharmaceutical industry and the food industry.
A six-axis robot has two more joints than a four-axis robot, so it has more "freedom of action". Each joint of the six-axis robot can rotate freely in the horizontal plane like a four-axis robot, and the last two joints can move in the vertical plane. In addition, the six-axis robot has one "arm" and two "wrist" joints, which give it a human arm and wrist-like capabilities.
The more joints of six-axis robots mean that they can pick up parts facing any direction on the horizontal plane and place them into packaged products at special angles. They can also perform many operations that can only be done by skilled workers.
