Ask AI: Where would you use a right-angle gearbox for industrial robot

A right-angle gearbox is commonly used in industrial robots where there is a need for a change in direction (90 degrees) of rotational motion between two rotating shafts. Most robots have joints that rotate in one plane, and the right-angle gearbox allows the motion to be redirected at a right angle to another plane. This is especially useful in robot arms for assembly lines where the components are located in different planes or directions. The gearbox can also provide additional power transmission capabilities to increase torque, reduce speed or increase speed, depending on the application. In summary, a right-angle gearbox can provide reliable and efficient motion control to industrial robot applications.
