There are three main types of automation systems when considering adding robots to your production line. They are the manipulation robotic system, the mobile robotic system, and the data acquisition and control robotic system.
Robotic systems are a way of automating manufacturing applications while reducing the amount of labor and production costs and time associated with the process.
The most commonly used in the manufacturing industry. These systems are made up of many of the robot arms with 4-6 axes and varying degrees of freedom. They can perform several different functions, including welding, material handling and material removal applications.
This system consists of an automated platform that moves items from one place to another. Used heavily in manufacturing for carrying tools and spare parts, and also in agriculture.
Used to gather, process and transmit data for a variety of signals.
