First of all, we need to give a definition of robot arms. A robot arm is a robot system used for manufacturing. It is automated, programmable and capable of moving on two axis or more axes. Well, after having a rough understanding of what a robot arm is, we are going to see why we call it three axis robot arm. Normally, robot arms, except swing arm robots, are cartesian coordinate robots, some of which have three directions of movement, like X, Y, Z. We name them one axis robot arm, two axis robot arm, three or five axis robot arm and so on. Indeed, we distinguish these axis robot arms by the number of servo motor on it. Like three axis robot arm, its stroke of traversing, up and down and pulling out of the main arm are all driven by AC servo motor, and the fly jib's movement is driven by cylinder. So we call it three axis robot. That's it. RUNMA automation is here to make your decision easier if you are looking to buy robot arm. Thanks for reading.
