Global Parallel Robots Market 2016-2020

About the Parallel Robots Market

A parallel robot has at least two arms. The end of arm tools in a parallel robot is connected to the overhead base through several chains of interconnected links. The joints are not actuated, and these passive joints (spherical, universal and planar joints) have several degrees of freedom. The two types of parallel robots are hexapods, which are commonly used in motion simulators, also known as motion platforms, and the delta robots that are used for quick pick and place operations.


A delta robot consists of three arms connected to joints at the overhead base. The orientation of end effector is maintained by a key design feature that incorporates parallelograms in the arms. Hence, they are efficient in pick and place operations and can execute 300 picks per minute. FANUC, ABB, Kawasaki, Panasonic, and Motoman are the key manufacturers of delta robots.

Technavio’s analysts forecast the global parallel robots market to grow at a CAGR of 5.70% during the period 2016-2020.
