The history of industrial robots

The history of industrial robots.

       Industrial robots are the oldest known standard ISO definition of "Bill" Griffin P. Taylor in 1937 and was published in the journal in March 1938. Crane. machine as used in almost all parts were created. And driven by a single electric motor. Five axes of motion are possible, including rotating hook to grab. Automation tape by using valves that facilitate movement of the crane drive control lever reached. Robots can form a preprogrammed stacking wooden blocks. Number of revolutions of the motor are required to move, printed on graph paper, first. This information is then transmitted Shute perfect modeling of the robot in 1997 on strips of paper, which was driven by a single motor of the robot Chris.




George C. Devol in 1982.
George Devol applied for a patent first robot in 1954 (granted in 1961), the first company to produce a robot Unimation was founded by Devol and Joseph F. Engelberg in 1956 and based on the. Devol's original patents Unimation robot called a transfer applications, since their main use at first was to transfer objects from one point to another, is less than ten feet or so apart. They used hydraulic actuators and angles of the various joints have been programmed into common coordinates stored during a learning phase, and played back in operation. They are accurate within 1/10, 000 cm [edit] (Note: Although the accuracy is not a metric that is often judged for robots in terms of repeatability - see later in) Unimation later licensed their technology to Kawasaki Heavy Industries and GKN Unimates are made in Japan and the United Kingdom. For some time the only competitor Unimation Ohio Cincinnati Milacron Inc. has in the late 1970s changed when several big Japanese conglomerates began producing similar industrial robots.
In 1969 Victor Scheinman at Stanford University invented the Stanford arm, all-electric, 6-axis robot designed to permit an arm solution. This made it possible to accurately follow arbitrary paths in space and expand the capabilities of the robot for use with complex assembly and welding, then the design is Scheinman arm. Two called for MAI "poor MIT." Scheinman, after receiving a scholarship Unimation sold these designs Unimation to promote the development of them with support from General Motors and marketed in developing his design. later that it is a Universal application for meetings (PUMA).
Industrial robotics took quite fast in Europe, with both ABB and KUKA robots get into the market in 1973, ABB Robotics (formerly ASEA) introduced. Sixth among the world's first commercially available all electric micro-robot The first two of the six robots were sold to Magnusson in Sweden for grinding and polishing pipe bends and were in production in January 1974 Also in 1973 KUKA Robotics Robotics times installed. The first known famulus [4] [5] is also one of the first articulated robot with six axes. electromechanical.
Interest in robotics increased in the late 1970s, and U.S. companies are entering the field, including major companies such as General Electric and General Motors (which was a joint venture with a robot FANUC FANUC LTD of Japan), the United States began. The technology and specialized Automatix Inc. at the height of the robot boom in 1984 Unimation of Westinghouse Electric Corporation, has acquired $ 107 million, Westinghouse sold Unimation to Staubli Faverges SCA of France in 1988, which is a robot. continue for general industrial use and clean echo, and even bought the robotic Bosch in late 2004.
Only a few non-Japanese companies ultimately managed to survive in this market, is an important technology expertise. Staubli Unimation, Sweden, the Swiss company ABB Asea Brown Boveri, a German company KUKA Robotics and Comau Italy.

  1. Its like you read my mind! You seem to know so much about this, like you wrote the book in it or something. I think that you can do with some pics to drive the message home a bit, but instead of that, this is wonderful blog. An excellent read. I'll certainly be back.industrial control systems
