Design and Simulation of a Delta Type Robot

Robotics is an interdisciplinary science and should be treated as a part of System Integration. Automotive industry with its assembly line requirements continues to be the main robot consumer. Besides automotive industry, other sectors like for instance metal machining, health and semiconductor industry are interwoven with robotics. Robot is a high value added product so it is worth of development. Therefore, goal of this paper is to demonstrate how to design fully operational rotary delta robot. Firstly, we elaborate kinematic model of the Delta type robot and then construct me-chanical structure thus producing a simulation model of delta robot. Finally, delta robot is simulated and the results confirm the model is OK.
