The role of the external axis of the robot

With the application of industrial robots becoming more and more extensive, a single robot is not always able to complete the task well and quickly. In many cases, one or more external axes are needed.

In addition to large palletizing robots on the market at present, most like welding, cutting or 6 axis robots used much, 7 axis although launched for several years, due to high prices, low popularity. A 6-axis robot can make almost all gestures, but if the factory wants to move towards automation, it needs not only a robot action, but more of a whole cooperation to complete a certain process, at this time, it needs to increase the robot external shaft . What we call the external axis is actually an external action system connected with the robot, such as linear sliding rail, lifting system, flipping system, etc., to cooperate with the robot’s action.

For example, the welding of automobile exhaust pipe is only a girth weld, but the welding Angle must be guaranteed. Although a robot can complete the whole welding, the welding posture leads to the welding forming is not beautiful and the strength is not strong. If the robot is equipped with an inverted external shaft to coordinate the action, the welding posture can be satisfied at the same time, and the whole welding can be completed more quickly to achieve satisfactory results. For example, when a very long workpiece needs to be welder, due to the limitation of the arm of the welding robot, the position of the fixed robot can not reach the position that needs to be welded, and a coordination slide external shaft can let the robot – walking side welding, how long the distance can be realized welding.

The the robot external shaft is a control system based on the model of the robot, so in the process of cooperating with the robot movement, it can be more quickly and better coordination, which is an indispensable part of the application field of industrial robots. Shanghai Jiesheng robot Co.,Ltd is Being first class distributor and after sale service provider authorized by Yaskawa, you can configure the robot external shaft as required.
