Synopsis
This is the most comprehensive volume available on the field of industrial robots.
Outstanding, in-depth research makes the handbook not only reliable and a valuable
reference source for professional engineers but also for individuals interested
in using industrial robots for increasing productivity and reducing manufacturing
costs. The "Industrial Robotics Handbook" provides a step-by-step
introduction to industrial robots, describes procedures for their selection, discusses
various system applications, provides an overview of computer programming and
integration of the system, specifies safety considerations, defines an approach
for economic justification, describes the major industrial robot manufacturers
systems, and describes the international market. An extensive selection
of photographs, diagrams, and charts clarify complex points. Reviews
"Most comprehensive and up-to-date review of the subject of industrial robotics" New
York Public Library "This book can serve as a reference
source for the professional and for individuals interested in learning more about
