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

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.

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.

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

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."
