Abstract
This paper is oriented to parallel kinematic robots definition, description of their specific application, comparison of robots made by different producers and determination of velocity and acceleration parameters, kinematic analysis – inverse and forward kinematic. It brings information about development of Delta robots at Academia, including the University of Žilina and Delta robots in the market. Two models of Delta robots called M-1iA and M-3iA have been developed by FANUC Robotics during the last several years. These robots are ideal to automate tasks which so far were too fast and too complex for standard robots. In addition, this new family of robot series offers the motion flexibility of a human wrist, fast cycle times, ultra compact arm and high precision. It is also possible to support intelligent functions using Computer Vision System. In this paper is described the development of training workplace with Fanuc Delta robot FANUC M-1iA 0.5A with examples of robot application.
