| The automation control plays a vital role in attaining | | | | they can meet the standards of quality |

| your first products with good quality and efficiency | | | | robot is 12 to 16 years. |
| then the demand for your product increases | | | | These robots can be classified into three different |
| automatically when it comes into the market and you | | | | types depending on their mechanical structure. Firstly |
| start getting larger number of orders, at this point of | | | | the Gantry robot, they are fixed and work with a |
| time you need to increase the productivity in a large | | | | rectangular work envelope and they mainly perform |
| number so automation is required at any cost. The | | | | 'pick and place' actions. Secondly the SCARA |
| automation engineers are capable enough to improve | | | | (Selectively Compliant Articulated Robot Arm) robots |
| the quality and efficiency of a product by using | | | | having four axes of motion, moving with x-y-z |
| various techniques and equipment in developing an | | | | co-ordinate circular envelope and are used for |
| integrated system of hardware and software | | | | factory automation. Thirdly, Articulated robots which |
| components and as they being the experts in | | | | have interactive rotary joints ranging from two to |
| program development and operating system can | | | | ten, these are generally used for welding, painting and |
| control the software side of the industry also but | | | | assembly purposes. |
| how many engineers can you recruit to carry each | | | | The industrial robots can also be used with different |
| and every application accurately. Therefore, keeping | | | | additions such as 'End effectors' which are the end of |

| any kind of job you require when they are | | | | input/output devices and it mainly performs the |
| programmed perfectly. The ISO has defined industrial | | | | inspection of the products. 'Motion controllers' are |
