Foreword
The industrial application of robots is growing steadily. This is reflected in the number of manufacturers now involved in the field of robotics. Thanks to pioneers such as Joseph Engelberger of Unimation Inc, industry has seen their rapid deployment in all areas of manufacturing. Manufacturers of robots and robotic equipment have increased their production levels and at the same time have made great efforts to improve and adapt their products to allow them to be used for a wider range of applications. The demand for ever more sophisticated robotic devices has made the choice of robot for a particular application an extremely hard one. Industrial Robot Specifications has been compiled to enable users to assess robotics in the context of their own needs. The book contains detailed information on over 300 robots manufactured and distributed under licence throughout Europe. More than 90 companies are covered, and details are given of their distributors and agents, regional addresses and names of key contacts. Information is provided on robots as diverse as simple teaching machines, costing perhaps £1500, to those highly sophisticated computer-controlled robot devices commonly found in flexible manufacturing systems, costing tens of thousands of pounds each.
Introduction
Industrial Robot Specifications is divided into three sections, for ease of use. Part 1 comprises details of principal applications and lists all European robots by classification, from assembly robots to palletizing robots; also included in the section are vision systems and automated guided vehicles. Part 2, the main technical specificatio
