DEVELOPMENT OF AN 8-AXIS ROBOT

Most of the robots now on the market have six or fewer axes. Some people have proposed a 7-axis robot to resolve the problem of interference. However, such robots have not yet been developed for use in the harsh environment of an automobile manufacturing plant. The authors have developed an 8-axis robot in-house that solves the problem of interference by overcoming the production engineering issues involved. The paper describes the technical features of the robot and the concept behind its development.
