Application of Industrial Robot
Picking, Packing, and Palletizing
Because they run the same program over and over automatically, industrial robots can sustain levels of production and quality that most humans cannot. This is especially true of speed, consistency, and dexterity over the course of an 8-hour shift. Robots can select and organize materials and then deliver them to a warehouse shelf or a workstation on the shop floor. Palletizing robots are found in industries like manufacturing, food processing, warehousing, and shipping.
Industrial robots show their value particularly in settings where products are handled several times before shipping. They help reduce direct labor costs while sparing human workers from repetitive tasks.
Assembly Line Operations
Industrial robots are ideal on the assembly line. They eliminate production bottlenecks by working continuously and accurately. For example, in auto plants, they can attach door handles, windshield wipers, hoods, and wheels, freeing human workers for higher-value tasks.
Assembly robots are also excellent for consumer electronics, computers, and medical devices, in which components are too intricate for human hands, and accuracy is essential. They do their assembly work without breaks or injuries, increasing output and reducing costs.
Material Removal and Polishing
Manufacturers are turning to industrial robots to offset today's skills shortage. Material removal includes machining, cutting, deburring, sanding, and polishing. Because of their speed, agility, and accuracy, industrial robots are a perfect fit for manufacturing tasks that require close attention to detail and cause worker fatigue, such as material removal. Examples include machining, cutting, deburring, sanding, and polishing. And by removing humans from the factory floor, manufacturers have improved their plants' overall safety and eliminated costly human error.
Welding Robots
Welding is a hazardous and time-consuming task that is often well suited for industrial robots. Whether in steel fabricating or automotive manufacturing plants, robots handle the parts and perform the welding. They can perform consistent MIG, TIG, plasma, or spot welding with shorter cycle times, efficiently use shielding gas and other consumables, and have consistent weld quality.
Another advantage is that human workers are not subjected to the toxic fumes and burns associated with welding. Companies that employ robots also see a marked improvement in production efficiency.
Painting Robots
Industrial robots surpass humans in painting efficiency and uniform application. While painting can be an inexact and time-consuming process for human workers, robots apply coatings with high precision and speed every time. The paint is delivered using a metering system and spread by combining a robotic arm and sprayer tooling to coat the part accurately, even on complex shapes.
Ideal for small and hard-to-reach components, industrial robots are easily reprogrammed to coat different parts or change patterns. They can even be equipped to accommodate rapid changeover from one part to another. While robotic painting is typically thought of as a mainstay of automotive production, other industries use this technology to improve product quality and consistency too, such as prefabricated construction and furniture manufacturing.
How to Choose Industrial Robot
Application Details
Knowing what you want the robot to do and where it will be placed are critical when selecting an industrial robot. For instance, if the robot will work in a cell with human workers, a collaborative robot will likely be your best option, while SCARA robots are well suited to pick-and-place activities in small spaces and Delta robots are skilled at handling small items at high speeds. In order to be sure, you're picking the right robot, it's important to really clarify the task, which means itemizing and considering each step, along with factors such as the distance the robot will need to move or reach and the weight of any objects the robot will have to manipulate.
Required Reach
It is essential to know the maximum distance the robot will need to reach in order to efficiently accomplish the task. Consider the maximum vertical reach (measured from the lowest point that the robot can reach to the maximum height), as well as the maximum horizontal reach (the distance from the center of the base to the furthest point it can reach horizontally). Range of motion, expressed in degrees, should also be considered. Robot providers should offer this information. Often, the application specifications will dictate which robot can be used.
Robot Payload
This is the maximum load that the robot can handle, including the part the robot will handle, as well as any end effectors or grippers that will be added to the robot to accomplish the task.
Number of Axes
The number of axes directly relates to the flexibility of the robot. While selecting a robot with the necessary number of axes needed for a task will satisfy the application, choosing a robot with additional axes means it may be moved to a more complex application down the road. However, additional, unused axes will still have to be programmed. Typically in simple applications, such as pick and place, a 4-axis robot will satisfy most requirements; however, more axes will be required in confined spaces where the robot arm needs to twist or move in reverse.
Running Speed and Travel
The robot's speed over the required distance is a major factor in how quickly the robot can accomplish the task. If the robot needs to complete a high pick rate, a Delta robot may be the best choice, while a Cartesian or SCARA robot will be suitable for lower pick rates.
Repeatability
Repeatability is the ability of the robot to reach the same position each time it completes a routine, so in applications where high accuracy is required (such as assembling electronics), the better the repeatability needs to be. Applications with high repeatability criteria may also want to consider how many brakes the robot features since brakes directly relate to achieving repeatable positions.
Space and Footprint
The available size of the area in which the robot will be expected to perform is important during the selection process. Confined areas and obstacles will impact this, as well. If space is very limited, vertically oriented robots like Cartesian and Delta robots, will be most suitable.
Robot Body Weight
The total weight of the robot is important information as it is crucial to designing the cell and for proper mounting of the robot so that it may be properly supported during motion in order to avoid safety issues.
Protection Class
If the robot will be used in applications where food, medical instruments, laboratory equipment or flammable products are manufactured, it may require a certain level of protection. Some automation providers offer different levels of protection for the same type of robot depending upon the environment or application in which the robot will be applied.
Risk Assessment
To fully ensure the safety of the robot in a specific scenario, it is necessary to provide a risk assessment for each robot before placing it on the facility floor. If the assessment reveals that there are hazards despite any built-in safety features, action must be taken to provide any necessary protective measures, especially to fully ensure the safety of human operators around collaborative robots.
Maintenance of Industrial Robot
Follow Manufacturer's Guidelines
Adhere to the manufacturer's instructions and recommendations for maintenance, inspection, and servicing specific to the industrial robot model being used.
Regular Inspections

Cleaning and Lubrication
Keep the robot clean and free from dust, debris, or contaminants that may impact its performance. Follow manufacturer guidelines on suitable cleaning agents and lubricants. Apply lubrication to moving parts as recommended.
Check Power and Control Cables
Inspect power and control cables for any fraying, kinks, or damage. Replace damaged cables promptly to avoid electrical hazards or performance issues.
Pneumatic System Maintenance
If the robot utilizes a pneumatic system, ensure that air filters, lubricators, and regulators are clean and functioning properly. Check for air leaks and pressure fluctuations.
Sensor Calibration
If the robot is equipped with sensors or vision systems, periodically calibrate and verify their accuracy. Follow the manufacturer's guidelines for calibration procedures.
Backup Programs and Parameters
Regularly back up robot programs, settings, and parameters to avoid data loss in case of failure or unexpected events. Store backups in a secure location.
Realign and Recalibrate
If the robot performance shows signs of deviation or reduced accuracy, consider realigning or recalibrating the robotic arm, end-effector, or any auxiliary equipment based on the manufacturer's instructions.
