Manufacturing - Robots and associated tooling see improvements

摘要

Since the 1990s, robot capabilities have advanced in speed, accuracy, and repeatability, along with payload. For example, the Kuka KR 1000 Titan 6-Axis articulated-arm robot lifts a 1000-kg (2200-lb) payload over a 3202-mm (126.1-in) maximum reach with repeatability up to 0.2 mm (0.008 in).
