Abstract

Placement devices and industrial robots belong in the handling devices category. Handling is defined as the creation, defined changing or temporary maintaining of a spatial positioning of geometrically determined bodies within a reference system [VDI90]. In line with this definition, handling devices are devices that move these bodies to certain positions and adjust their orientations. Position and orientation together give the 6-axis position (also called pose) of a body within the space. Handling devices are categorized into manipulators, placement devices, and industrial robots depending on the functional scope of their controllers (Fig. 13.1).

I thank my staff members Christian Fimmers M. Sc., Lukas Gründel M. Sc., Lars Lienenlüke M. Sc. and Simon Storms M. Sc. for their contribution in revising this chapter.
