耀彩网Six-axis industrial robots generally have 6 degrees of freedom. Common six-axis industrial robots include rotation (S axis), lower arm (L axis), upper arm (U axis), wrist rotation (R axis), and wrist swing (B axis) And wrist rotation (T axis).

Joint diagram of six-axis robot body

The 6 joints are combined to realize the 6-degree-of-freedom motion at the end. The first joint of a six-axis robot can rotate freely in a horizontal plane like a four-axis robot, and the latter two joints can move in a vertical plane. In addition, the six-axis robot has one "arm" and two "wrist" joints, which gives it the capabilities of a human arm and wrist. The more joints of the six-axis robot means that they can pick up any parts on the horizontal plane and place them in the packaged products at a special angle. They can also perform many operations that can only be done by skilled workers. Generally, industrial robots in spraying, palletizing, grinding, and polishing industries use six-axis robots.
