Spiders are one of the quickest and most efficient assemblers in nature. Just ask anyone who’s ever encountered a pesky web blocking a filter, tube, vent line or some other critical artery.
With their spindly arms and extremely fast motion, delta robots resemble spiders. Each arm is driven by a motor mounted in a stationary base above a large cylindrical work envelope. The arm joints work together to drive a rotary axis connected to an end-effector.
