FANUC • KUKA • ABB: Industrial Robot Hardware Compared A Step-by-Step Technician’s Reference: A Practical Guide to Controllers, Servo Drives, Motors, ... Safety, Feedback, I/O and Troubleshooting

Industrial robots from FANUC, KUKA, and ABB may look different, use different terminology, and operate through different controllers—but underneath, they are built around the same fundamental hardware principles. FANUC • KUKA • ABB: Industrial Robot Hardware Compared breaks those systems down into one clear, practical architecture that technicians, engineers, students, and automation professionals can understand and apply across all three major robot platforms. Instead of memorizing three completely different systems, this book teaches you to recognize the common hardware chain: Controller → Safety → Servo Drive → Motor → Gearbox → Joint → Encoder Feedback From there, each major component is compared across FANUC, KUKA, and ABB so you can quickly understand what each manufacturer calls it, what it does, how it interacts with the rest of the robot, and where to begin when something goes wrong. Inside, you will explore robot controllers, servo drives, motors, axes, precision gearboxes, encoders, brakes, mastering and calibration, teach devices, safety hardware, industrial networks, tool I/O, dress packs, robot cabling, wrist assemblies, TCPs, external axes, cooling systems, regenerat
