Delta robot options abound. Codian Robotics specializes in only delta robots, in contrast with most industrial robot manufacturers that primarily produce articulated-arm robots. The supplier’s delta robots offer payloads of 1.5 to 125 kg to execute the assembly of tiny electronic parts to many designs far larger. A Mitsubishi Electric partnership pairs Codian delta robots with Mitsubishi controllers. ABB’s delta robots are produced under the FlexPicker brand. The current model is the IRB 360, a delta robot with two auxiliary rotary axes in series at the end effector for five-axis motion. These robots are optimized for pick and place operations. Fanuc produces delta robots in two ranges. The M-series includes small robots used for assembly of small parts (most commonly electronics) as well as larger robots. M-series robots are available in three, four, and five-axis configurations. The DR-3iB series robots are larger four-axis robots designed for picking and packing operations, with motion speeds of up to 5.5 m/sec and payloads up to 8 kg. Conclusion Delta robots provide affordable and flexible automation for electronics manufacturing. They often provide higher speed and more flexibility than other robotics and automated pick-and-place machines.
