6-Axis Robot

The 6 axis robot arm is a flexible automated loading and unloading system for CNC lathes, machining centres, assembly lines, drilling centres, and grinding machines. It uses a six-joint structure with multiple degrees of freedom. Compared to traditional gantry robots, it has much more flexible movement and can adjust its posture in many angles. It can pick, place, flip, transfer, and stack parts from any angle in three-dimensional space.

This system is for shaped parts, curved parts, irregular parts, and parts that need multiple processing positions. It is widely used in precision hardware, 3C electronics, auto parts, and moulds. It can work with single machines or multi-machine linked lines, and supports long-hour unmanned flexible production.

Zhejiang Luban has strong experience with six-joint arm integration. Our systems work with ROKAE, FANUC, KUKA, and other major robot brands. We complete full integration with magazines and machines. We hold many patents and our technical team can handle everything from design to on-site commissioning.

Shaped and irregular parts are difficult for traditional gantry robots. Gantries can only move in straight lines and vertically. They cannot flip, tilt, or reach sideways. Many factories have to keep these parts on manual workstations and cannot automate them.

The 6 axis robot arm solves this with six-axis coordination. It can rotate, flip, tilt, and swing in many angles. It can handle tilted picking, flipped loading and unloading, sideways unloading, and offset stacking. There are no dead zones in its working space. It fits shaped, irregular, and multi-angle parts perfectly. One mould parts customer told us that after using this arm, they automated more than ten types of shaped parts that were previously manual. Overall line efficiency increased by over 30%. They no longer worry about part damage from operator mistakes.

The arm uses a six-joint structure. Each joint is driven by a servo motor with a precision reducer. It takes parts from the multi-layer magazine and delivers them to the machine spindle or worktable at any angle and posture. After processing, it removes the finished part with the same flexibility and places it back.

The control uses a dedicated industrial robot system. It supports point programming, path recording, program storage, and multiple recipe switching. Speed and grip force can be finely adjusted. For easily scratched or deformed parts, it can load and unload without leaving marks. The multi-layer magazine uses a modular design. Layer spacing can be adjusted for different part sizes. Tray repeat positioning accuracy is within ±0.25 mm. The working temperature range is -10°C to 45°C.

The six-joint arm has a vertical, compact structure. It does not need long gantry rails. Its footprint is small and installation is flexible. No major workshop changes are needed. It can be quickly added to old machines and tight spaces. Running has full intelligent interlocks. It has an emergency stop, sound and light alarms, joint overload protection, and collision detection. If there is interference, overload, misalignment, or a stuck part, it stops immediately.
