What are robotic arms?
Robotic arms are the most common manufactured robot. A typicaly robotic arm is
made up of seven segments by joining six joints. The computer controls the robot by
rotating individual step motors connected to each joint.

The robot uses motion sensors to make sure it moves just the right amount

Uses of robotic arms :-

o They Increase Production. ...
o They're More Accurate than Humans
o They're More Reliable than Humans
o They Can Work 24/7.
o They Save Time.
What types of robotic arms are there?
There are numerous different robotic arm types available each
designed with important core abilities and functions that make various
specific types particularly well-suited for particular roles or industrial
environments.

There are four robot configuration based

of movements of joints and
arrangements
 Cartesian robotic arms

Cylindrical robotic arms

Spherical robotic arms

Articulate robotic arms

 Cartesian configuration

often referred to as rectilinear or gantry robot arms - are named after the Cartesian coordinate system,
developed by René Descartes

In robotic arm terms, mechatronic Cartesian or gantry robots tend to consist of three articulating
joints that are programmed using these X. Y and Z coordinates to specify linear movement in three
dimensions along these three axes. The wrist joint often provides further rotational functionality.

Cartesian robotic arms use various motors and linear actuators to position a tool or attachment
somewhere in three-dimensional space, and manipulate it through a series of linear and are widely
used in a range of applications such as machining parts or picking and placement alongside conveyor
belts.
Cylindrical configuration

Cylindrical robot arms, are ones whose axes

form a cylindrical coordinate system - in short, their
programmed movements take place within a
cylinder-shaped space (up, down and around). This
type of arm is more commonly used for assembly
operations, spot-welding and machine tool handling,
where the rotary and prismatic joints give it both
rotational and linear motion.
Spherical configuration
A polar or spherical robot is one that operates with
potential locus of movement. This is achieved through a
combined rotational joint, two rotary joints, and a linear
joint. handling machine tools, spot welding, die casting
and arc welding.
Articulate configuration
Articulated Robots mechanical movement and
configuration closely resembles a human arm. The arm is
mounted to a base with a twisting joint. The arm itself can
feature anywhere from two rotary joints up to ten rotary
joints which act as axes, with each additional joint or axis
allowing for a greater degree of motion.

sCARA robot arms are most widely used in assembly and pick and
place applications.
 Arm design
Tools required to design a simple robotic arm
• 2 Acrylic sheets.
• 6 Servo motors.
• 6 Potentiometers.
• Arduino UNO.
• Breadboard
• Power supply.
• Power switch.
• Capacitors 10uF.
• Some screws as your design needs.
• Some wires.
These parts r made on Laser Cutter Machine
These are the grippers which help for
servomotors
 mount servo motors to the first disk and join
them to the base
• Then join the first disk to the base
Then assemble the fan of the servo to the second
disk and join it above the servo motor by screw
Then construct the first arm, assemble the arm as
shown in next picture and connect the arm to the
servo motor.
Make the second arm, assemble the arm as shown
and connect a servo motor to the arm, then connect
the arm2 with arm1 by the servo motor as shown
Now construct the gripper to make its require
mechanism, assemble every part with each other as
shown in the next pictures
And now connect the gripper with small servo motor ..
