Types of Industrial Robots
Industrial Robots are our specialty
As a multi-industry, multi-vendor production automation integrator, Midwest Engineered Systems has experience specifying and programming a variety of industrial robot types. MWES has been integrating industrial robots into automation systems for over three decades and we have extensive experience with all forms of industrial robotics from small SCARA robots to large robots designed for heavy loads. MWES is also an A3 Certified Robot Integrator since 2013 and we pride ourselves on the expertise we bring to our customers.
What are the Different Industrial Robots
Industrial robots have many benefits such as improving productivity, quality, safety and flexibility. When compared to manual labor, robots provide a substantial return on investment (ROI). Some common types of industrial robots are articulated robots, cartesian robots, cylindrical robots and SCARA robots. Industrial robots have many benefits such as improving productivity, quality, safety and flexibility. When compared to manual labor, robots provide a substantial return on investment (ROI).
When it comes to industrial robots, there are seven primary types. Each of these has its own unique robot joint configuration and application.
Articulated Robots
Cartesian Robots
Collaborative Robots (Cobots)
Delta Robots
SCARA Robots
Cylindrical Robots
Robot End-Of-Arm-Tools (EOAT)
An industrial robot is useless without a way to interact with the environment. That is where end effectors come into play. End effectors, also commonly known as End-Of-Arm-Tool (EOAT), are the hands and in some instances the eyes of a robot. EOATs can be made up of a combination of grippers, collision sensors, force-torque sensors, vision systems and custom-designed material processing tools. Learn more…
