INDUSTRIAL ROBOTS

The programmability of the industrial industrial robot using computer
software makes it both flexible in the way it works and versatile in the
range of tasks it can accomplish. The most generally accepted definition
of an industrial robot is a re programmable, multi-function manipulator
designed to move material, parts, tools, or specialized devices through
variable programmed motions to perform a variety of tasks.

Industrial robots can be floor-standing, bench top, or mobile.Industrial robots are classified in ways that relate to the characteristics of their control systems,
manipulator or arm geometry, and modes of operation.

A basic industrial robot classification relates to overall performance
and distinguishes between limited and unlimited sequence control. Four
classes are generally recognized: limited sequence and three forms of
unlimited sequence—point-to-point, continuous path, and controlled
path.
