Results for tag: "Parallel Robots"

Parallel robots, also known as parallel manipulators or parallel kinematic machines, are a type of robotic mechanism that consist of a fixed base and a movable platform connected by multiple kinematic chains. Unlike serial robots, which have a single chain of joints and links from the base to the end effector, parallel robots feature several chains working concurrently. This structure provides advantages in terms of load capacity, accuracy, and rigidity, making parallel robots particularly suitable for tasks requiring precise movements and high levels of force or speed. They are widely employed in various industrial applications, including material handling, pick and place operations, and tasks within automotive assembly lines. Their unique features enable them to perform complex tasks while maintaining stability and precision. Parallel robots have fostered innovation in many industries, leading to the growth of specialized companies focused on their development and production. Prominent players in the parallel robots market include ABB Robotics, KUKA Robotics, Fanuc Corporation, and Yaskawa Motoman. Smaller, specialized firms such as Codian Robotics and Parallel Kinematic Machines have also made significant contributions to the sector, advancing the technology and widening the scope of applications for parallel robots. These companies constantly work on enhancing the capabilities of their parallel robotic systems to meet the evolving demands of diverse industrial sectors. Show Less Read more
