CARTESIAN COORDINATE ROBOTS
A
Cartesian robot, or linear robot, is an industrial robot
where the three control axes move in a straight line instead
of rotating. The axes of control (robot XYZ) are
situated at 90° angles to each other, with three sliding
joints that move linearly up and down, in and out, and back
and forth.
CARTESIAN ROBOT APPLICATIONS
The simplified robot control arm solution is commonly
used for CNC machining, 3D printing and in milling and
drawing machines. Pick-and-place machines also operate
on the principal of liner, Cartesian coordinate robots.
One type of Cartesian robot is a gantry robot, where the
horizontal robot is supported at both ends.
