The market is advancing rapidly with innovations in parallel robots and automation technology. Known for their triangular architecture and articulated configurations, delta robots excel in pick and place operations and assembly line processes. Their working envelope and efficiency in conveyor belt picking and stacking make them ideal for high-speed material handling, particularly in industries like ecommerce where rapid order fulfillment is crucial. As a subset of the broader robotic market, delta robots offer precise control and speed in repetitive tasks, enhancing productivity on assembly lines and reducing operational costs. Continued advancements in double-axis systems and integration with robotic configurations underscore their role in streamlining manufacturing processes and meeting the demands of modern production environments.
The increasing adoption of delta robots ensures the safety of the workforce in end-user industries. In addition, robots minimize industrial accidents compared with manual handling of processes. Furthermore, the circumstances under which part transfer activities are undertaken are not safe, especially in electronics and semiconductors and food and beverage manufacturing activities.
Moreover, the repetitive tasks in these industries using manual workers can cause motion injuries and mental fatigue. As a result, this would increase the need for robots in part-handling activities. Furthermore, the handling of delicate materials, such as glass in the semiconductor industry and knives or blades to cut fillets from fish in the food industry, may cause injuries to humans. Therefore, delta robots can handle such materials with the help of grippers and end-of-arm tooling (EOAT) easily and can support transport activities carefully. Hence, such factors are positively impacting the market growth during the forecast period.
In industrial robots, the control system is programmed in such a way as to ensure that the devices' movements and performance cater to the end-user's needs. In addition, end-users or system integrators write the robot programs. Furthermore, companies ensure that the necessary development of robots includes features that make programming hassle-free.
Moreover, SMEs programming robots for industrial applications require a longer time due to changing product specifications. In addition, as production volumes in SMEs are smaller compared with large enterprises, the overall time taken to program the robots increases. As a result, it adversely affects the overall time to market and profitability. Therefore, some companies offer motion-logical controllers to improve the performance of robots. Hence, such factors are driving the market growth during the forecast period.
The technical limitations of delta robots have been the significant factors hampering their deployment in industrial premises. For instance, while selecting delta robots, factors including speed, load, positional accuracy travel, available space, and cost constraints need to be closely evaluated. In addition, the major challenge is the limited payload of the delta robots.
Therefore, this makes it difficult to use robots for heavy products such as glass bottles and heavy boxes. In addition, delta robots are not ideal for broad application in the industrial environment. In addition, the performance of the overall delta robots depends on the actuators that offer linear movements for the robots. Furthermore, the limited area of reach, low accuracy, and lower payload adversely affect their use in industrial operations. Hence, such factors are hindering the growth of the global delta robots market during the forecast period.
The 3 axis segment is estimated to witness significant growth during the forecast period. The robots in this segment are connected by a common joint above and below the arms mainly to facilitate activities like picking up and placing objects (pick-up-and-place robots). In addition, this segment offers up to 200 cycles per minute (where cycle time denotes the time taken to complete one complete cycle of its programmed task), and therefore, it is best suited for picking products up from a lot and placing them on conveyers belts on packaging lines, as well as packing and sorting applications in the cosmetics, food processing, and pharmaceutical industries.
