Laser Cutting Robots: Precision Meets Productivity
Laser cutting robots are powerful yet complex manufacturing tools. While they provide quality results for the manufacturers that deploy them, it’s essential to understand where they fit in the cutting robot lineup. By understanding what they are, the different types of laser cutting robots, and ...Read more -
What is a Linear Robot?
With automation on the rise, the case for linear robotics, has expanded. Linear robots are a type of industrial robot with two or three principal axes that move in a straight line rather than rotate, functioning at right angles to each-other. The three sliding joints correspond to moving the wri...Read more -
When Should You Automate Using a Cartesian Robot?
Cartesian robots have broad suitability. So, when are they right for you and your project? This question can’t be answered precisely just through this article. However, a few questions and considerations can help you start down the right path of understanding if cartesian robots are the right ch...Read more -
What is a Cartesian Coordinate Robot?
Definition, Design and Configurations for Linear Positioning System. Cartesian Robot Definition 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 str...Read more -
Pick and Place Gantry Cartesian Industrial Robot
Pick-and-place application, such as laboratory use, benefit from cantilevered construction because components are easily accessible. Gantry robots are Cartesian coordinate robots with horizontal members supported at both ends; physically, they are similar to gantry cranes, which are not necessar...Read more -
What is a Cartesian Robot used for? Linear Robotic Applications.
Computer numerical control machines (CNC machines) and 3D printing are two typical applications for Cartesian coordinate robots. Milling machines and plotters use the most straightforward application, in which a tool, such as a router or a pen moves around an X-Y plane and is lifted and lowered ...Read more -
Differences between Cartesian, Six-Axis, and SCARA Robots
Cartesian Robot’s Load The load capacity of a robot (as specified by the manufacturer’s ) required to be greater than the total payload’s weight at the end of the robotic arm with tooling parts. SCARA and six-axis robots are constrained because they carry loads on extended components. For exampl...Read more -

Key Linear Motion Design Details For Harsh Environments
Linear motion systems are exposed to a range of extreme industrial environments. Careful specification and selection of motion system components, as well as a thoughtful engineering review can mitigate risks in harsh industrial conditions. A critical step in designing any mechanical linear motio...Read more -
Top Five Mistakes in Choosing and Using Linear Guides
Specifying the guide itself is the easy-part learn how to avoid pitfalls in mounting, installation, and even choosing a plating. Linear guides are precision mechanical assemblies that operate as part of a system. As such, they can only perform to the degree that they are properly integrated into...Read more -
Linear motion for robotic handling in automated warehouses
When designing and configuring an automated warehouse, one design goal is to keep the system as light and compact as possible. Depending on the size of the load being moved, there are two common types of automated warehouses. In lighter applications, aluminum structures can handle loads up to 10...Read more -
