World Robot History

1975

The Olivetti "SIGMA" a Cartesian-coordinate robot, is one of the first used in assembly applications

The Olivetti SIGMA robot was used in Italy for assembly operations with two hands


World Robot History

1975

ABB developed an industrial robot with a payload up to 60 kg

This met the demand of the automotive industry for more payload, more flexibility. The robot, called the IRB60, was first delivered to Saab in Sweden for welding car bodies.

World Robot History

1978

Programmable Universal Machine for Assembly (PUMA) was developed by Unimation/Vicarm; USA, with support from General Motors

GM had concluded that 90 percent of all parts handled during assembly weighed five pounds or less. The PUMA was adapted to GM specifications for a small parts handling line robot that maintained the same space intrusion of a human operator.

1978

Hiroshi Makino, University of Yamanashi, Japan, developed the SCARA-Robot (Selective Compliance Assembly Robot Arm)

By virtue of SCARA's parallel-axis joint layout, the arm is slightly compliant in the X-Y direction but rigid in the 'Z' direction, hence the term: Selective Compliant. This is advantageous for many types of assembly operations, i.e., inserting a round pin in a round hole without binding. The second attribute of the SCARA is the jointed two-link arm layout similar to our human arms, hence the often-used term, Articulated. This feature allows the arm to extend into confined areas and then retract or "fold up" out of the way. This is advantageous for transferring parts from one cell to another or for loading/ unloading process stations that are enclosed. In 1981, SCARA robots were launched by by Sankyo Seiki, Japan and Hirata, Japan

1980

Hitachi (Japan) developed the first commercially available all-rotary-type motor-driven articulated "Process Robot (PW-10)

PW-10's drive system is designed to use only rotary type reducers (without using ballscrews nor drive shafts), with the help of parallelogram linkage mechanism


World Robot History

1981

GM installed "CONSIGHT", a machine vision system

The first production implementation of the General Motors Consight vision system at the St. Catherines, Ontario, foundry is successfully sorting up to six different castings at up to 1,400 an hour from a belt conveyor using three industrial robots in a harsh manufacturing environment.


World Robot History

1982

IBM develops a programming language for robotics, AML

AML (A Manufacturing Language), a powerful, easily used programming language was developed by IBM, USA, specifically for robotic applications. Using an IBM Personal Computer manufacturing engineers could quickly and easily create application programs.


World Robot History

1984

Adept, USA, introduced the AdeptOne, first direct-drive SCARA

Electric-drive motors connected directly to the arms eliminating the need for intermediate gear or chain system. The simplicity of the mechanism made AdeptOne robots very robust in continuous industrial automation applications, while maintaining high accuracy


World Robot History

1985

KUKA introduces a new Z-shaped robot arm whose design ignores the traditional parallelogram.

It achieves total flexibility with three translational and three rotational movements for a total of six degrees of freedom. The new configuration saved floor space in manufacturing settings

1992

Wittmann, Austria introduced the CAN-Bus control for robots

1992

Wittmann, Austria introduced the CAN-Bus control for robots

"In practical terms, these features can add up to faster operations for robot workcells, which is why Wittmann Robot and Automation Systems Inc. of Torrington, Conn., adopted CANbus for all its CNC robots 18 months ago. Sales manager Ken Heyse explains that Wittmann's previous CNC controller, which used a single microprocessor for all robot and peripheral functions, had to perform various subroutines sequentially, potentially interrupting the operation of the robot. CANbus, by contrast, handles data locally. The robot itself, its pendant, stackers, and other downstream equipment all process data in their own microprocessors. Only then does a master controller coordinate all those efforts. In Wittmann's CANbus CNC controls, all the robot programs and related subroutines run simultaneously on the different microprocessors. The result, Heyse says, is a speedier workcell."

1994

Motoman introduced the first robot control system (MRC) which provided the synchronized controlof two robots

MRC also made it possible to edit robot jobs from an ordinary PC. MRC offered the ability to control up to 21 axes. It could also synchronize the motions of two robots


World Robot History

1996

KUKA, Germany, launched the first PC-based robot control system

It was possible, for the first time, to move robots in real time using a 6D mouse on an operator control device. This teach pendant featured a Windows user interface for control and programming tasks

1998

ABB, Sweden, developed the FlexPicker, the world’s fastest picking robot based on the delta robot developed by ReymondClavel, Federal Institute of Technology of Lausanne (EPFL).

It was able to pick 120 objects a minute or pick and release at a speed of 10 meters per second, using image technology


World Robot History

1998

Güdel, Switzerland, launched the “roboLoop” system, the only curved-track gantry and transfer system.

The roboLoop concept enables one or more robo-carriers to track curves and to circulate in a closed system, thereby creating new possibilities for factory automation

World Robot History

Developed in cooperation with DLR, Institute of Robotics and Mechatronics, Germany, the outer structure of the KUKA lightweight robot is made of aluminum. It has a payload capacity of 7 kg and, thanks to its integrated sensors, is highly sensitive. This makes it ideally suited to handling and assembly tasks. Due to its low weight of just 16 kg ? the first robot weighted two tons!, the robot is energy-efficient and portable and can perform a wide range of different tasks
