Reducing the size improves spatial operability, allowing more robots and other equipment to be added to the line. Six-axis robots have become the standard for automated assembly operations thanks to their ability to perform complex maneuvers. With the growing acceptance of this equipment, robot manufacturers are striving to reduce the size and mass of their six-axis robots to improve spatial operability and productivity.
