The term robotic arm is particularly at home in the fields of automation, industry and Factory 4.0 as well as robots. A robotic arm is a mechanical device that can be moved like a human arm - only with machine power and often much more precisely. It consists of several moving parts (joints) that enable it to perform various tasks, such as gripping, turning or lifting.
Robotic arms are mostly used where monotonous, dangerous or very precise work has to be done. In factories, for example, robotic arms assemble cars or put together components in smartphones. They take on work that would be too tiring or risky for humans.
An illustrative example: In a car factory, a robot arm lifts heavy vehicle parts and screws them together with precise force. This ensures consistently high quality and greater safety in the workplace.
Robotic arms can now also be found outside of large factories, for example in 3D printing, where they precisely move the print head for complex components. The robotic arm is an important component of modern automation and helps companies to work more efficiently and safely.
