What do they do?
Robots consist of two parts: (a) a positioning system, which locates (b) the functional part, sometimes called an
“end effector”. It is this end effector which defines the robot function, and this is only limited by the engineer’s
imagination.
Typical applications for benchtop robots include:
1) Dispensing
2) Soldering, brazing and welding
3) Pick and place
4) Screwdriving
5) Engraving, cutting
6) Testing and calibration
