assembly operations,
handling at machine tools,
pot welding, and
handling at die casting machines.
Cylindrical Coordinate Robots are robots whose axes
form a cylindrical coordinate system.
The robot can perform this motion by extending a
cylinder that’s built into the arm. In most cylindrical
robots.
INTRODUCTION

DISADVANTAGES OF CYLINDRICAL
CONFIGURATIONS
Their overall mechanical
rigidity is reduced
because robots with a
rotary axis must
overcome the inertia of
the object when rotating.
Their repeatability and
accuracy is also
reduced in the direction
of rotary movement.
The cylindrical
configuration requires a
more sophisticated
control system than the
Cartesian configuration.

Application Of Cylindrical Configurations
Typical Applications for Cylindrical Configurations Include The Following:
• Machine loading and unloading
• Investment casting
• Conveyor pallet transfers
• Foundry and forging applications
• General material handling and special payload handling and manipulation
• Meat packing
• Coating applications
• Assembly
• Injection molding
• Die casting
