Articulated Robots Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Function (Handling, Welding, Dispensing, Assembly, Processing, Others), By Industry (Automotive, Electrical & Electronics, Chemicals. Rubbers & Plastics, Metal & Machinery, Food & Beverages) And Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

An articulated robot has a robot-like arm with rotating joints that can conduct accurate movements over and over again. material handling, assembling, sealing, welding, cutting, picking, spraying, painting & machine tending are just a few of the applications for such robots in the manufacturing industry. These robots have the smallest of three rotary joints in their arms. Industrial manufacturing has become much faster and more precise because of these articulated robots.

Industry benefits from articulated robots because they can handle things that are too heavy or unsafe for humans to handle, and they can operate for longer periods of time with less rest than people. Articulated robots are extremely long-lasting, create detailed outputs for long-term procedures, and can do complex tasks in humans' place. Another important element pushing the deployment of articulated robots is the growing concern about worker safety. The use of such robots also aids in the reduction of operational costs, production and manufacturing costs, and raw material waste.

The articulated robots provide more exact outputs than manual labor, their use in manufacturing has resulted in an increase in product quality. Factors such as rising funds for industrial automation, rising demand from SMEs in emerging nations due to an increase in demand for precise assembly line operation, increased mechanization and increased investment in the automation industry, and the growing demand for industrial robots are just a few of the factors expected to boost the growth of the articulated assembly line.
