Cylindrical Coordinate Robots

A cylindrical robot has two linear axes and one rotary axis. The robot derives its name from the operating envelope (the space in which a robot operates that is created by moving the axes from limit to limit.)

The Z axis is located inside the base, resulting in a compact end-of-arm design that allows the robot to "reach" into tight work envelopes without sacrificing speed or repeatability.
