Manipulators

Manipulators are robotic arm designed to help operators lift, maneuver and place parts that are too heavy, large or otherwise too difficult for single operator to handle. They are widely used in various industries such as manufacturing, assembly, material handling, palletizing, etc.

Components of Manipulators

Arm:
- The primary structure that provides reach and mobility.
- Can have multiple segments or links connected by joints, mimicking the human arm.
Joints:
- Points of articulation that allow the arm segments to move.
- Types include rotational (revolute) and translational (prismatic) joints.
End Effector:
- The tool attached to the end of the arm that interacts with objects.
- Can be a gripper, suction cup, welding torch, or any specialized tool depending on the application.
Actuators:
- Devices that drive the joints and end effector.
- Types include electric motors, hydraulic cylinders, and pneumatic actuators.
Sensors:
- Provide feedback on position, force, and other parameters.
- Include encoders, force/torque sensors, and vision systems.
