Factory Assembly - Multi axis Cartesian Robot Linear Positioning System

A Cartesian Robot or a cartesian coordinate robot (also known as a linear robot) is an industrial robot with three primary control axes that are all linear (meaning that they travel along a straight line rather than rotating) and mutually perpendicular to one another. The 3- sliding joints allow you to move your wrist up-down, in-and-out, and back-forth. In 3D-space, it is incredibly dependable and precise. It’s also useful for horizontal movement and piling bins as a robot coordinate system.

Cartesian Robot Work Envelope

Various robot configurations produce distinct working envelope shapes. This working envelope is crucial when choosing a Robot for a specific application because it specifies the manipulator and end effector’s work area. For a multitude of purposes, care should be practiced when studying a Robot’s work envelope:

1. The working envelope is the amount of work that can be approach by a point at the end of the Robotic arm, which is typically the middle of the end-effectors mounting arrangments. It does not have any instruments or workpieces owned by the end-effector.
2. There are sometimes locations inside the operating envelope that the Robot arm cannot enter. Dead zones are the name given to specific regions.
3. The maximum payload capability cited is only achievable at such arm lengths, which may or may not reach maximum reach.

The Cartesian configuration’s operating envelope is a rectangular prism. Inside the working envelope, there are no dead zones, and the Robot can manipulate the full payload over the entire working volume.
