Joints connecting two links allow them to move freely relative to each other. Joints allow the robot to move along a straight path or in a rotary motion. End Effectors: It is defined as the robot's hand. It works like a wrist connected to the manipulator to move the tools and perform various operations such as lifting, carrying, pulling, etc. Figure 1: Important components of an industrial robotFigure 3: Industrial robot programmer: The action to be performed by the robot is loaded into the programmer's memory. The user uses the handheld device/learning pendant which allows the robot to follow the desired path or perform the required tasks Power: Provides the energy needed to operate the controller, sensors and actuators.
