Industrial robot six axis function
Industrial robots have six axes of motion, each with its specific function:
Definition and Function of Six Axes
Axis 1: Responsible for the lifting and rotating motion of the boom;
Axis 2: Control the lifting and lowering of the forearm;
Axis 3: Achieve wrist rotation;
Axis 4: Control the swing of the wrist;
Axis 5: Fine adjustment of the wrist;
Axis 6: Provides positioning and attitude adjustment for end effectors.
Therefore, a six axis industrial robot, which includes the six axis groups mentioned above, can meet various complex work requirements in the actual production process.
The significance of adding more axes
Adding more axes on this basis, although it can further improve the flexibility of the robot, is not necessary in most cases.
Actions in Joint Coordinate System
When the current coordinate system is set as the joint coordinate system, the motion of each axis of the industrial robot can be operated according to the following table. Whether it is axis 1, axis 2, axis 3, axis 4, axis 5, or axis 6, they can perform forward and reverse movements of each axis group according to the table.
Explanation of each axis action
In the joint coordinate system, each axis can perform forward or reverse motion according to the set mode.
Precautions for manual operation
Please note that when manually operating industrial robots, it is essential to select low-speed motion mode to ensure safety and precision.
