Here are some of the most common types of industrial robots:
  1. Heavy-duty robots: this type of robot is used for heavy and complex tasks, such as handling large workpieces or assembling parts. They are usually stationary and have a high payload capacity.
  2. Articulated robots: articulated robots are mobile and can be moved in a variety of directions. They are often used for precision tasks such as assembling small parts or handling delicate materials.
  3. SCARA robots: SCARA stands for Selective Compliance Assembly Robot Arm and refers to a special type of robot designed for assembly and assembly activities. They have four joints and are particularly suitable for applications where precision and speed are required.
  4. Collaborating robots: collaborating robots are a newer type of robot designed for use in direct contact with human workers. They are capable of working safely with humans without the need for protective equipment.
  5. Mobile robots: mobile robots are self-propelled robots that can move freely within a given area. They are often used for transportation tasks such as moving goods within a factory or warehouse.

Each type of industrial robots has its own strengths and weaknesses, and it is important to select the right type of robot for a particular application. A thorough review of performance and functionality requirements can help find the right industrial robot for your needs.
