The contemporary industrial robot is the focal point of a wide
variety of elements in modern technology. It is a collection of
parts, some of which act as drives and some of which act as
architectural materials that give the robot body strength. This
book is a thorough inventory of the technologies involved and the
way in which they meet and work together in order to produce a
functional robot arm. The authors have striven to describe
thoroughly the components that make up robot arms. This gives both
the student and the practitioner a complete view of the principles
involved in such components and the differences between existing
technologies. However, it is not only the student who benefits from
this approach but also the potential robot user who, at the moment,
may be faced with a bewildering choice of combinations of different
types of components in the robots that are available to him. For
example, it is difficult for a production manager to appreciate the
differences between robots that use direct current motors, stepping
motors and pneumatic actuators. The authors have succeeded in
structuring the book so that the reader can weigh up the pros and
cons of these different techniques at whatever level of depth he
requires. Certainly, the book aims to provide as much depth as
there is in these topics without assuming a detailed knowledge of
specialized areas of engineering.
