Industrial Robots

Midwest Engineered Systems has been integrating industrial robots into automation systems for over three decades and we have extensive experience with all forms of industrial robotics. We have been 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 robot joint configuration and application.

Articulated Robots

Articulation with several degrees of freedom allows the articulated arms a wide range of movements.

Cartesian Robots

Cartesian robots are robots that can do 3 translations using linear slides.

Collaborative Robots (Cobots)

Capable of learning multiple tasks so it can assist with and work side-by-side with humans. Highly versatile and programmable.

Cylindrical Robots

Characterized by their rotary joint at the base and at least one prismatic joint connecting its links. They can move vertically and horizontally by sliding.

Delta Robots

Particularly useful for direct control tasks and high maneuvering operations.

Polar/Spherical Robots

Polar robots are robot configurations with a combined linear joint and two rotary joints, with an arm connected to a robotic base and a twisting joint.

SCARA Robots

Scara robots are robots that can do 3 translations plus a rotation around a vertical axis.
